The 50 Big 3 Slams by year and age

[Spencer Gore]

Further to an earlier post discussing the Big 3 slams (the slams where all 3 were in the draw), it is interesting to break the statistics down by year and by age. It reveals some interesting facts worthy of debate:

It's interesting to see just how young Nadal and Djokovic were at the start of Federer's reign.

Interesting to see that all three started to dominate at the same age.

Interesting to see that Nadal has been the most successful when all 3 were in the main draw.

interesting to note that Federer's two slams in 2017 were Big 3 slams

etc etc etc

 

[Third Serve]

Interesting to note just how old Fed was when Djokovic was enjoying his peak seasons.

Djokovic is the same age now as Fed was in 2014-15

 

[Third Serve]

Djokovic is the same age now as Fed was in 2014-15

Yes, and? IMO both players have been performing at similar levels at those ages. Any significant difference in results comes down to the difference in competition, which is fairly wide.

Edit: Actually, that's not completely true. Part of it is due to most of the tournaments being gone for the 2020 season.

 

[Spencer Gore]

Djokovic is the same age now as Fed was in 2014-15

Indeed.

Age 30-33

Federer: 1 Big 3 slam. (1 slam total)
Nadal: 2 Big 3 slams (5 slams total)
Djokovic: 5 Big 3 slams (5 slams total)
