Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic can usually count on seeing one another at the business end of Grand Slam tournaments, with 45 matches among them at majors.
Now, they will do business together at Grand Slam events as well. The ATP announced Thursday that Federer and Nadal, along with Jürgen Melzer, were elected to fill vacant spots on the player council, the 10-member body for which the top-ranked Djokovic serves as president. The council next meets in New York just before the start of the United States Open.
