As of this moment, Roger Federer holds the record for winning the most Grand Slams - 20. But he is being chased by his greatest rival Rafael Nadal, who is just one Major short of equaling the record.

While Federer last won a Slam in 2018, Nadal won two Majors in 2019 and is currently the top ranked player in the world. His dominance at the French Open is so absolute that it is almost a given he will win the trophy in 2020 as well, despite his age and the rise of challengers.

While Federer is still a top contender, it does not look like he will win another Slam in 2020. That means Nadal could finally equal and even break the record that he has been chasing throughout his career.

The 2020 season surely seems to the beginning of an amazing decade for us tennis fans!
