I am hearing more and more about how RG will be Djokovic's best chance to win a slam, as it will be much harder to beat Sinner and the field on HC and Alcaraz is growing stronger on grass. The question is, is that relative to Djokovic? In other words, its low everywhere, but RG he might have a few percentage more than the other slams, or is it that the clay is helping the older guys more?
Now, we know all about Nadal, he stayed a God on clay until the very end, winning his last slam on clay. Then Djokovic became the oldest RG winner of all time, and also won Olympic gold on it, while beating the reigning RG champion on the way.
But it doesn't stop there. In 2019, Federer reached the semis of RG after having not played there for many years, and not only that, but Federer also in his last showings at RG in 2021 and his last showing at Rome, won his last matches there.
Is the narrative somewhat changed, or is it that these three were just super freaks and clay is indeed still a young man's surface?
