#3 Feliciano Lopez (5-31)

Feliciano Lopez is 5-31 lifetime against men's tennis' most famed troika.

Lopez came closest to a win in his 13 tour meetings with Federer when the Spanish left-hander had a match point against the Swiss in the pair's 2011 Madrid Masters second round meeting.

The 38-year-old's 4 wins over compatriot Nadal came at 2003 Basel, the quarterfinals at 2010 London Queens, second round of the 2014 Shanghai Masters and the third round at 2016 Cincinnati.

Against Djokovic, Lopez's sole win came in the 2016 Dubai quarterfinals when the Serb retired after dropping the opening set 3-6.
