Given their quality careers, it seems there should be more excitement for a Djokovic/Murray final. Or is there not, because their games are too similar with Murray essentially a poor man's Djokovic?

In the last 30 years, how many times have there been a Grand Slam final with two players who had at least 2 Grand Slams coming into the final.

Australian Open (7 times) - 90, 91, 93, 00, 09, 12, 15
French Open (7 times) - 85, 87, 07, 08, 11, 12, 14
Wimbledon (12 times) - 88, 89, 90, 95, 99, 00, 06, 07, 08, 11, 14, 15
US Open (10 times) - 87, 88, 89, 95, 02, 04, 05, 11, 13, 15
