Just noticed that if you compare Federer and Djokovic's Grand Slams by age, then Djokovic is rougly the same age as Federer (28) was at the 2010 Australian Open.

Coming into this year's Australian Open, Djokovic has gone W, W, F, W, SF, W, F, QF in his last 8 Grand Slams.

Coming into the 2010 Australian Open, Federer had gone F, W, W, F, W, F, F, SF in his last 8 Grand Slams.

Federer, of course, won the Australian Open that year. Looking back, who would have predicted that after that, he would win just 1 Grand Slam in the next 23 Grand Slams.

5 years later, people would say, "Looking back, who would have predicted Djokovic would win 18 slams."
