Djokovic still hasn't won a slam without dropping a set

[Sorry_to_tell_you_mate]

So much for being dominant.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

All thanks to Cocacola lol

 

[stringertom]

So few peRFect slams done on HC or grass. Who could it be now that has pulled those feats off?

 

[Backhand Compliment]

I'm sure he couldn't care less

 

[SonicNirvana]

Impossible

 

[threehandedbackhand]

Federer > Djokovic

Proven.

2x, no?

 

[Bogdan_TT]

Yeah, what a loser. He’s finnish

 

[socallefty]

So, he is not very good is what the OP is saying?

 

[JJGUY]

I could be wrong here, but I think Raducanu's 10-match win streak w/o dropping a set probably going to stay in history book for good!

 

[djokovic the conqueror]

It's better to give your opponents false hope by giving them a set or two, then snatch it right back.

I could be wrong here, but I think Raducanu's 10-match win streak w/o dropping a set probably going to stay in history book for good!

fedr 2017-18; straight set champion, followed by 4 rounds in 2018

Crapola?

 

[THUNDERVOLLEY]

So much for being dominant.

...and the appropriate reply:

I'm sure he couldn't care less

Exaclty. History does not give a crap about who did not drop a set. Djokovic is winning the majors, not fishing for irrelevant stats.

Why are you comparing men's to womens tennis?

 

[Rina]

He is paid extra by tournament organizers not to mow all his opponents in 3. For the entertainment of the public, duh.....

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Crapola?

Naah the French qualifier

 

[alexio]

never underestimate ferrari is the lesson

 

[optic yellow]

mug

 

[beezer12]

the good ole days when fed would siphon the draw of sets. I remember like it was yesterday

 

[Hood_Man]

In Novak's defence it's an extremely rare thing to win a major without dropping a set.

Even rarer again to win more than 1.

I dare say you'd have to be a GOAT to achieve something like that

 

[BGod]

Even more surprising Novak's only had 3 one set title runs.

He's likely won the most Slams losing 5+ sets just on pure volume.

Fed had two clean runs and three one set so it's not a massive margin.

Nadal has 7 I think of 1 set or less.

 

[btsjungkook]

Just tells you how not dominating his attack game is compared to the other Atgs.

 

[Sudacafan]

Really? Now I changed my mind, and I don’t think he’s the GOAT.

 

[Hood_Man]

Well he has time, the current gen and next gen probably won't be retiring for another 10-15 years.

 

[Ombelibable]

Throwback to US Open 2010, where Rafa lost a solitary set the entire tournament, 7-5 to Djokovic in the final, arguably because of a let cord.

 

[socallefty]

If he wins a Slam at his age without losing a set, his detractors will say his opponents are too weak and that’s why he is winning. So, it is too late for him to correct this.

 

[BeatlesFan]

So much for being dominant.

It's an incredibly rare thing to do. There was 27 years when nobody in the men's game did it - from Borg doing it at the FO in 1980 until Roger did it in 2007 at the AO. Then 10 years before Roger did it again at Wimbledon 2017. Of course Rafa's done it four times at RG, which is incredible in itself.

Djokovic will probably never do it and who cares? All that matters is winning the slam, not how many sets you drop on the way to the title.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Oh dear.

 

[Jack the Hack]

I also haven't won a Slam without dropping a set, so we have that in common!

 

[bluetrain4]

But he's won 22 Slams.
