2007 USO
2008 RG
2014 RG
2007 USO because if he won against Fed at that time, it would have mentally been such a boost for Djoko and Fed would have developed a mental block to Djoko, with two straight slam losses
2008 RG because winning RG at such an early time would have cemented Djoko as part of the Big 3, and would have dropped Rafa's confidence. And who knows, a Rafa who loses in 2008 and 2009 may not have had the confidence to make that crucial 2010 return.
2014 RG because a channel slam at that point would be great for his legacy. Also it would mean 3 RGs eventually, which means 3 CYGS. I also think he would have won USO 2014 if he had RG under his belt, and even RG 2015. Which means 7 slams in a row.
Of course, if any one of these matches were different, it would change the course of events for every subsequent tournament. Butterfly effect.
