Cool graphic! Very impressive. Can you find similar open era stats for the women?

He is Mr Grand Slam for a reason.

And Mr YEC? And Mr Masters?

He is Mr Tennis actually.

He is Mr Grand Slam for a reason.

I remember the time (pre-2015) when some guys here called him "majoring in minors" or something like that.
Now he outclassed even the previous GOATs in Majors segment, wild stuff.

He is still a great tennis player...and he didn't even need a WC to play in the tournament..

It was an unhinged Nadal fangirl who came up with the phrase, and then who had a meltdown in 2015 before getting banned.

If Djokovics career played out in a perfect way, he could‘ve won 30+ slams realistically.

From 2008-2010, these years were wasted because of his gluten allergy.

From 2016-2018, he wasted two years because of a wrong approach to his injury.

In 2020-21, he wasted many tournaments because of COVID and him not being vaccinated. Also the lines woman accident.

Without these self caused issues, Djokovic could’ve won 5-10 slams more during his career.

The cancellation of Wimbledon 2020 was a 100% unfortunate turn of events for which he bore absolutely no responsibility.
And it’s quite ironic that the difference between him and Roger’s record comes down to that one title.

AngieB. Oh they were the days.

Many players dont reach 1 SF in whole career .

If only one ATG appeared on the scence when Roger faded i guess both Novak and Rafa would not have found easy going .

2012-2014. Djokovic agreed, which is why he hired Becker as coach in December 2013.

 

[heavyD]

Not taking away from Novak but Borg and Connors is pretty impressive when you consider in those days the surfaces in all the slams played very differently and there were much more surface specialists in those days.

 

[TheAssassin]

It is actually sick that he is even significantly ahead of Borg who quit at an age 15 years younger than Djokovic is now.

Now who had the tough (quarter-, semi-)finals opponents at WB?

Sampras: Becker x2, Ivanisevic x2, Agassi x2, Rafter

Federer: Roddick x4, Nadal x2, Djokovic, Cilic

Djokovic: Federer x3, Nadal x2, Sinner, Berrettini

Sampras faced Ivanisevic at Wimbledon in the 1992 semi final (lost), 1994 final, 1995 semi final, and 1998 final. That's x4.

Sampras also faced Becker in the 1993 semi final, 1995 final, and 1997 quarter final. That's x3.

Federer faced Nadal at Wimbledon more than twice as well. 4 times, 3 wins and 1 loss.

Awful pictures!
Must be AI generated.
Rosewall looked nothing like that. Same for Connors and Borg.

 

[helterskelter]

Given that he's now about 46 weeks from turning 40 and that there are two opportunities in the six weeks after his birthday, would you say he's now >50% to make a slam semi after turning 40? A year's a long time, but after Sinner beat him routinely at Wimbledon 2025, and after Djokovic struggled a bit with Cobolli in last year's QF, plenty of people thought he'd fall in R4 or even earlier this year. He did fall early at RG, of course.

 

[uscwang]

To beat Borg in % is impressive.

 

[DarthJodar]

When Alcaraz is done, his numbers for this could be frightening.
