Okay, I have a random fascinating Djokovic fact.

Novak Djokovic's only Grand Slam loss in 2011 came against Olderer at the French Open.

What do the following players have in common?

Federer, Murray, Del Potro, Nishikori, Ferrer and Tipsarevic.

They are the only players to beat Djokovic during his 2011 GOAT season!

How about this, Djokovic has 11 straight grand slam semis, the longest streak other than Federer's.

Djoko is the only gluten free champion ever

Nadal is the only Gs winner with a 500k watch

Nadal is the only right handed player to win a GS with his left hand

Nadal has the most butt picks en route to a GS win

Djoko played only 17 events (vs Fed's 18, Murray's 19, Delpo's 21 and Ferrer's 23) but he's #1 anyway. Quality vs quantity

Good one. He lost to each of them at the US Open (2007 v Federer, 2010 v Nadal, 2012 v Murray) and lost to one at the French Open (2012 v Nadal).

His best Slams are (in order of success).

1. Australian Open (3-0 in finals).
2. US Open (1-3 in finals).
3. Wimbledon (1-0 in finals).
4. French Open (0-1 in finals).

djokovic is the only major winner to have lived in an egg for a bit, who also has a chin that is egg shaped,

I want to break in with a hypothesis which follows: Borg would be a better blue clay player than Nadal because he's won more majors on faster surfaces and could play the unplayable.
