Hi everyone.
Long time lurker first time poster here, so go easy on me! Will admit to not having the vast array of tennis knowledge that many here seem to have.
I've noticed then whenever there is a thread discussing if the Djokovic slam should be valued close to the CYGS, no one ever seem to bring up what i feel is the clear difference seperating these two achievements. Surely winning the channel slam, the two most opposing surface slams that are also the closet together, is the hardest part of any four in a row. Even though the difference in the surfaces is nowhere near as vast as the nineties, surely winning these two in succession is harder than winning the US and Aussie, or the Aussie and then French.
Djokovic has many great achievements, which have obviously been the focus of this forum over the last eight months or so. But how big a gap in his CV is not having the channel slam? Compared to Nadal doing it twice and Fed once. Will he ever win it? Will he do it this year? Does this achievement even matter? Would love to hear your thoughts?
