Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic
The duo are really good at what they do and have outplayed the rest of their colleagues and opponents in most games.
With his 32nd birthday coming up on June 3 - during the French Open - the 16-time Grand Slam champion accepts he may think differently when he gets closer to Federer's age.
For the second-consecutive season, the 36-year-old Federer is skipping the entire claycourt season to be at his best on grass.
Rafael Nadal insists he will never intentionally skip major tournaments citing only a potential injury will stop him from playing the events he likes unlike Roger Federer, who made a decision to, for the second year in a row, skip the entire clay court swing of the season.
He subsequently relinquished his World No.1 ranking to Rafael Nadal, but is still sitting pretty at No.2.
The Swiss star is keeping his ageing body fresher by playing a little less - avoiding Nadal on gruelling clay at Roland Garros or elsewhere - and it is working for him.

They report that the Ligue 1 side - who were previously unwilling to consider a sale - are now coming around to the idea of letting the Brazil star go.
And despite watching on from home as his rivals battle it out at the Monte Carlo Masters this week, Federer has become the first player in ATP history to spend a total of 700 weeks inside the world's top four throughout a career.
However, one factor that could make Nadal's comeback slightly easier is a return to the clay surface because it's safe to say, he has a pretty impressive track record when it comes to playing on that particular surface. But at the moment he's really keen on Wimbledon and then the US Open'. "These kind of events I don't see (myself) missing".
Nadal has only just returned from a hip injury which has kept him out since the Australian Open in January. But for me it is difficult to say I'm not going to play, for example, grass, or I'm not going to play hard.
'When you play against Rafael Nadal you know you're going to be on court forever, ' he added.
Nadal continues his quest for an 11th Monte-Carlo title agains Karen Khachanov later on Thursday.
