Federer

AO: 2006
RG: 2006 or 2009
W: 2006
USO: 2005

Nadal

AO: 2009 or 2012
RG: 2012
W: 2008
USO: 2010

Djokovic:

AO: 2012 or 2016
RG: 2021
W: 2014
USO: 2011

Based on memories and scorelines, so I'm probably overlooking one of the best.
 
AO 12 the match Nole won
FO 11 the match Fed Won
Wim 08 the match Nadal won
USO nothing to write home about
 
IMO it has to be at least five sets, and the fifth set been very tight. AO 2012, I don't give it to AO 2009 because the last set was crap which deflated the match to the point, it wasn't even the best match of the tournament, the AO 09 semi was, RG it has to be 2013, W is very close but just for dramatic effect, it is W 2008 because of the whole story arc, and USO it can only be USO 2011 for what that match went onto become in history.
 
AO: 2009 F (Nadal vs Federer)
I'm most likely in the minority here but I don't care much for the 2012 final between Djokovic and Nadal, it only took 6 hours because of the ridiculous amount of time wasting by both players during the match, Djokovic pretty much had the match wrapped up when he was up 5-3 in the 4th set TB but somehow managed to lose the next 4 points to lose the 4th set and the match went into a 5th set, was hilarious watching Nadal get down on his knees celebrating as though he had won the title only to miss a relatively easy BH DTL passing shot at 4-2 30-15 in the 5th set

RG: 2013 SF (Nadal vs Djokovic) - pity this was not the actual final

Wimbledon: 2018 SF (Nadal vs Djokovic) - pity this was not the actual final

US Open: 2011 SF (Djokovic vs Federer) - deja vu for Federer and his fans after what happened at the exact same stage in 2010, Federer's super salty post-match press conference when he was still stunned that Djokovic pulled off the slap CC FH return winner on the line on the 1st MP lol and then Nadal looking depressed after he beat Murray in the other semi knowing he had to face Djokovic once more after losing 5 consecutive finals to him

Yeah you have to put it like this, or else no Big3 fan will be objective here.
 
Not allowed to have Federer wins on the list, so

AO 12
RG 08
Wimbledon 2019 (runner up is 2008)
USO10

Yeah
Fed should suck it up. He has worst result in bo5 vs his rivals. At least nadal gave him 2 wins, Djokovic robbed him completely.

You are right. Not allowed. Nope. He should suck it up.

You're kinda proving my point here

He is 5 and 6 years older than them and Djoko had to wait until Fed was 30+ to "rob him completely"

But yeah, Fed is a pile of garbage who never had a chance

I proved you wrong.

You want to have cake and eat it too. You want Rogers win over guys 5/6 years younger than him to be the best.

No you proved me right about just how much Djokodal fanbases agree on one thing: Fed sucks and is garbage

If Fed is really trash then neither Djok-or-Dal are as good as you guys think. It's a Catch-22

Federer has 90 Wimbledon titles, 08 is epic, he doesn’t have to have everything (y)

Nah a lot of people agree. The tennis was much better in the AO 09 final. AO 2012 was just too damn slow.

Of course it was epic, but it gets talked about 1000x more than the 2007 Final even though 07 was arguably higher level from both players

If Fed had won 2008 as well we wouldn't be talking about it nearly as much

07 didn’t have the drama 08 had and honestly Nadal when he fell over in the 5th in 07 and bandaged himself wasn’t the same player after
