This thread aims to compare the Big 3's slam H2H records against opponents with slam success. The list of opponents at each slam is comprised of players who, at any point in their career, have won that particular slam or have had multiple runner-up finishes. The list which includes all such players who have played at least one of the Big 3 at that particular slam is as follows:
AO: Agassi, Federer, Safin, Djokovic, Nadal, Murray, Wawrinka
RG: Moya, Kuerten, Corretja, Nadal, Federer, Soderling, Djokovic, Wawrinka, Thiem
WB: Sampras, Hewitt, Agassi, Federer, Roddick, Nadal, Djokovic, Murray
USO: Agassi, Hewitt, Roddick, Federer, Djokovic, Murray, Del Potro, Nadal, Cilic, Wawrinka
The overall slam H2H records for the Big 3:
Federer: 42-31, (57.5%) - AO (9-8), RG (6-12), WB (14-4), USO (13-7)
Nadal: 39-17, (69.6%) - AO (5-5), RG (22-2), WB (6-5), USO (6-5)
Djokovic: 35-25, (58.3%) - AO (12-3), RG (3-10), WB (7-3), USO (13-9)
As expected Djokovic owns AO, Nadal is mind-blowing at RG, Fed owns Wimbledon, and Fed and Djokovic are both up there at USO, with Nadal having a bit more luck with his draws and capitalizing. RG single-handedly gives Nadal the best percentage overall.
In terms of the best years each of the Big 3 has had in this stat, the top years considering highest number of wins are:
1. Djokovic 2015 (6-1) and Nadal 2007 (6-1)
2. Federer 2005 (6-2)
3. Federer 2004 (5-1) and Djokovic 2011 (5-1)
4. Federer 2009 (5-2) and Nadal 2011 (5-2)
5. Djokovic 2012 (5-3)
6. Federer 2007 (4-1), Nadal 2006 (4-1), Nadal 2008 (4-1)
7. Federer 2011 (4-3)
-Honorable mention: Nadal 2013 (3-0)
-Federer was just 2-1 in 2006
The 2 years with 2 of the Big 3 being really successful in this stat at the same time are 2007 with Fed and Nadal and 2011 with Nadal and Djokovic (Fed not bad either).
