Djokovic since 2018 French Open Quarterfinal Loss

[McEnroeisanartist]

After losing to Marco Cecchinato in the 2018 French Open quarterfinals, Djokovic had gone 6 Grand Slams without reaching a semifinal.

His rivals Federer and Nadal had won the previous 6 Grand Slams.

Since that loss, Djokovic has won 12 Grand Slams (half of his career total), reached another 5 finals, and another 7 semifinals.

Checkmate was right

But at what cost

Federer never existed

Slam semifinals reached since turning 31:

Djokovic 24
Federer / Nadal 14

Even assuming that the top4 in the last years were not as strong as the 2008-16 Big4, this stat about semifinals shows Nole had much greater longevity and consistency against the non-top4 field anyway.

Novak ended the Fedal duopoly twice, once in 2011, another in 2018.

A lot of people think that's a stat against Djokovic rather than for him in an overall sense. Similar things were said about Lendl when he won most of his majors.
