Djokovic in slams since Wimbledon 2018 (last 19 slam participations, age 31-36)

Now I don't care who you are, where you're from or who you support, there is no one on planet earth who ever would have believed this possible before the fact, and I am including Srjan and Novak themselves in that statement. This is just obscene,

It doesn't even have *anything* to do with Djokovic's loss of form from 2017-2018.

Even if Djokovic were still humming along during that time, no one would have thought these results were going to be sustainable for the following 5 years.

 

[GoldenMasters]

I always saw it as 2 eras for Novak, 2011-2016 and 2018-Present until his winning stops. The 20s era and the 30s era

 

[TripleATeam]

Fun fact: there's only 1 person on the men's side to ever win more majors in a 5.5 year period. 04-09 Federer.

 

[Midaso240]

Yeah, I don't know how he's kept it up this time. After his sustained period of dominance in 2011 until the 2012 AO, he only won one slam from then until the 2014 Wimbledon. Then his next period of dominance was 2015 until 2016 RG. After that he went off the boil until 2018 Wimbledon. I don't know why he's not going off the boil now at 36 when he did at a younger age. I guess he's just playing a lighter schedule now than he was then?

Because now this is the weakest era in history. He basically won 3 challengers this year.

 

[fedfan24]

ludicrous how much he’s won in his 30s with barely any resistance. W21/22, ao21/23, rg 23 and uso 23 so poor, like 250 level events. Hand him the trophy as soon as carlos crashes out to save us watching yet another nextgen UFE the title away.

It's not his fault Alcaraz lost to Medvedev tbf

Nice post OP. It’s mind boggling. The records he keeps breaking. I’m lost for words! Lol

[jl809]

This is completely insane

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

No one would have thought it possible.

I agree. A lot of us were concerned would he even win a few more slams back in 2018 when was in his slump. It was looking tough to even get a couple at that point.

That presser he did at RG2018 where he was pissed was the turning point. He never looked back since. It activated the ultron/beast Djokovic again! Lol

It feels epic to view it that way but I think this was inevitable regardless. Even had Djokovic lost Wimbledon 2018 or 2019.

I agree. However, that Wimbledon 2018 SF was massive now. Had Nadal won it who knows how that would have affected everything and Djokovic momentum. I admit Djokovic got fortunate with the roof. It was a huge match at time.

I think that those matches would have been interesting trump cards for Nadal or Federer to play beyond the numbers, but that Djokovic would still keep going until he took the record.

In other words, if Federer had beaten 32-year old Djokovic at age 38 in a Wimbledon Final, his fans could easily make a claim that Djokovic's numbers are more opportunistic than they are suggestive of Djokovic being truly greater than Federer.

And if Nadal had won in 2018, if I recall correctly, Nadal would have the grass h2h as well as the 2-1 bud open, which are big black eyes for Djokovic's supposed surface and big match superiority.

As it stands, it is funny that both matches, despite the margins of victory being thinner than an ants nutsack hair, are such important notches on Djokovic's belt. The big three played nearly to a standstill in each instance, and yet it is viewed as 'all or nothing.'

I agree. I’m pleased Djokovic won those matches so he had the H2H or Fedal fans would have had a strong case to argue. Thankfully Djokovic clutched and squeaked out the wins! Lol

It was massive in the circumstances. Yeah they were they close but probably the biggest wins of Djokovic legacy.

It would also mean 30-29 for Nadal in the h2h instead of the other way around, which would be hilarious. But alas.

 

[Dilexson]

damnn he doubled his previous count in 5 years. I never thought any of the Big 3 would ever be able to truly distance themselves from the other two but if he keeps going this way...

 

[RelentlessAttack]

His domination is boring but things would be even worse without him. Imagine if Medvedev won the open over Shelton with that limited, one dimensional game he showed yesterday. The career inflation era has been so abysmal that I’ll actually be sad when Djokovic is gone

You are right but without Novak Med would probably face Carlos in the finals or maybe even Zverev could reach the F.

The horror. I’m actually thankful Djokovic is still around for precisely this reason. He’s literally the only great player playing a field of mugs and clowns (except Alcaraz of course, who’s still maturing and not hit his prime yet). That’s still infinitely better than the mugs playing each other and winning multiple slams.

 

[WeekendTennisHack]

Social media Gen is making Djokovic who he is now.

 

[WeekendTennisHack]

This is basically what Federer and Nadal did in 2017, but Djokovic was out of the way there. Then Fed stopped and Nadal to some degree too as he got older and Djokovic came back and feasting the same way Fedal did in 2017. Except for Djokovic there is ATG to 'return' and resume winning. None has shown up. Even Alcaraz is still a question mark.

He will distance himself. 5 more is possible and a great distance. If he wins 27 restricting Nadal at 22, he would have created a massive gap that will make him tier above Nadal and Federer..

It would be

1. Djokovic

Massive gap


2. Nadal
2a. Federer

 

[nolefam_2024]

6-8 masters difference vs Nadal and 14-16 vs Roger
3 to 4 year end difference vs both
7 ATP finals more than Nadal and 1 more than Roger
150 weeks over Roger and 250 over Nadal
5 slams over Nadal and 7 over Roger

This is very much where things are heading. Full tier ahead.

 

[ppma]

Insane vulturing.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Fedal fans sad?

 

[Fabresque]

Nadal fans have never seen their daddy dominate the sport of the levels Djokovic and Federer have, so it's completely normal for them to be shocked at this development and not be able to process it in their heads.

Never played all four slam finals. Never defended a slam outside clay. Never defended ATP ranking.
