Tennis is gladiatorial sport at its purest, one athlete against another with nowhere to hide. Its champions build legacies across four Grand Slams a year, and the sport's golden eras have produced rivalries that transcend the game. Few sports measure greatness so publicly, major by major. That backdrop is what makes a matchup like this one resonate beyond the box scores.
