Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer combined to capture the last six consecutive Grand Slam singles crowns.
The long-time rivals formed a dream team at the Laver Cup last September and could reunite as doubles partners.

Following his straight-sets sweep of Aussie teenager Alex de Minaur today, Nadal said he's willing to partner Federer in an ATP event—though he admits their schedules make realizing the dream team challenging.
"You never know. You can't say never," Nadal said. "Is true that our calendars are not easy. Probably something that will be nice if happened six years ago, seven years ago, that we were younger. Today's a little more difficult.
"But why not? He is able to do it. I am able to do it."
The king of clay was slightly less enthusiastic when asked about facing Grand Slam king Federer in a potential Wimbledon final on the 10th anniversary of their epic 2008 Wimbledon final.
"If I am in the final, I prefer to face an easier opponent. I am not stupid," Nadal said with a smile. "But if I am in the final, will be great news. Any opponent will be difficult, of course."
So how would a Federer-Nadal partnership play out in an ATP event?
Both men won the Olympic doubles gold medal—Federer partnering Stan Wawrinka and Nadal with buddy Marc Lopez at the 2016 Rio Games—and together would be major threat in any doubles event they enter, Grand Slam doubles champion Bob Bryan told Tennis Now.
"[Federer, Nadal and Murray] specifically are the three guys whose games really translate well to doubles," Bob Bryan told Tennis Now in a past interview. "They showed it with those big wins. Davis Cup and Olympics is where doubles really shines the brightest. And they've all stepped up and won titles in those events.
"Rafa is a great mover. He has great doubles instincts and plays close to net like a lot of the Spanish guys. He's a poacher and he stays back and hits incredibly heavy forehands, which sets up his net man.
"Federer is just effortless ability. He hits every shots so well, serve-and-volleys well and returns well. He's dangerous every time he steps on a court. And Murray's has got great hands and the British coach seems to be like a doubles genius and he’s helped Jamie so much. Those three guys, they're so strong if they played doubles full-time they'd be threats to win any tournament every time."
