There is an inspiring 4 way fight out for any top prize in Men's Tennis starting from this year. For the first time in like 8-9 years we had a different individual winning a grandslam this year. With an ageing Roger(31) still fighting like a champ against the mid 20's and a new warrior on the battle field in Murray things got spiced up last year. Not to mention the fact that Roger crossed 300 weeks as No 1 and took the 17th Grandslam in 2012 we have a New No 1 Djokovic and an return from injury fresh Nadal starting from AO 2013. Things just can't look better for Tennis right now.

Let the future of Tennis season RocknRoll from now

  Great win for Roger.
  Had very little confidence that Fed would be able to win against Rafa in a 5 setter that too after such a long lay off @ 35.5 years.
  Perfect win to answer those many questions thrown at him.
  Couldn't have been sweeter!!

  High quality stuff especially from Federer. Just rocking the backhand.This is the best I have seen him play against Nadal easily. First grand slam win against him in ten years and that too in a final, in five sets and being a break down 1-3. Riveting
  The court and the balls assisted Federer to be honest. Faster court and lighter balls. Federer flat hitting the backhand and creating great depth. Looked incredibly difficult for Nadal to break through. Federer snatched that victory emphatically

  Why tennis can't afford to lose Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal -- just yet
  
  By Danielle Rossingh, for CNN - January 31, 2017
  
  "Keep playing Rafa, please, tennis needs you," Federer told the Spaniard during the trophy ceremony after winning a record-extending 18th men's major title at Melbourne Park that broke viewing records around the world and lit up social media.
