Is 2016 the Return of the Big 4?????? (record, game, players, better)

[Quaker15]

Nadal is not back to his 2013 form, but he is definitely better than he has played in the past 12 months. He even beat some several top 10 players in one tournament.

Murray's record at Paris Master is almost flawless. He almost gave some ranked players the bagel.

Federer just beat the improving Nadal at a final and he is as consistent as ever.

Djokovic is as dominant as he can ever be.

We are only about two months away from Australian Open, that lead to another clay seaso leading to French Open. Do you agree that the Big 4 are still the big 4 dogs in the game, of course, as always, with some chasers and challengers in the mix?

I don't think the big 4 ever went away.

Nadal has been dealing with injuries this year. Last year Murray was recovering from back surgery.

When all 4 are fully fit, they are clearly the top 4.

Time will tell if Nadal can get back to full fitness, but he seems to be getting there.

They never went away, but many, including their own fans, have dismissed them (especially Nadal and Federer, and to a lesser extend Murray) ever winning another Grand Slam when Cilic and Wawrinka, and to an extend Nishikori crashed the party.
