This term exists, but it doesn't warrant a standalone article. Sports journalists frequently use word play in their articles, but that alone doesn't make it notable for an article. This article is just a rehashing of the same materials that are already in the existing rivalry articles of these three players: Federer–Nadal rivalry , Djokovic–Nadal rivalry and Djokovic–Federer rivalry so it is redundant.

  • Delete - Rivalries are already borderline articles and allowing multi-participant ones to be created will flood the pedia. Lajbi Holla @ me • CP 10:51, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete - When over the course of several years the press and fans keep talking about a particular Rivalry, that's when wiki takes notice that maybe something special has happened that warrants a stand alone article. The Trivalry is not it. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:40, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

:Comment - Right on. The google news search gives only 6 hits for this term, which is evidence for the fact that this is not a widely used term, especially since so much has been written about these three players over the years. MakeSense64 (talk) 06:58, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

:Comment The rivalries between these three players will be in the list once we add the men, and a footnote can be added that they were called "trivalry", but to merge this article into that list would create a serious undue weight problem. MakeSense64 (talk) 10:16, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
