Nadal 2014 was the only one apart from Stan no?

Yeah, I think RG match,. ,

Incredible

 

[King No1e]

Stanislas sure is the Manislas

[daggerman]

I believe it's 2-3 against Stan (2012 USO, 2015 AO).

Still a remarkable stat, though.

Yeah well, 2012 UO was a retirement, but tbh it is still a valid match, so I changed it, thank you

Djokovic also has an unreal stat: during his career he lost just 4 finals after winning the first set. 2 of them were against Wawrinka.

4 grand slam finals? Or including BO3 finals as well?

4 grand slam finals? Or including BO3 finals as well?

I guess in general, because the only slam final that comes to my mind is the RG14. The missing one would be Queen's 2018.

Wawrinka for a short spell made the Big 3 Era more interesting. Every era, outside of its dominant players. should have 2 or 3 Wawrinkas who seriously challenge the top guys and actually beat them in Slams from time to time.

 

[N01E]

Also from 2013-2016 in Djokovic-Wawrinka GS rivalry the winner of the first set lost the match 5 out of 6 times (AO13, USO13, AO14, RG15, USO16) with AO15 being the exception.

Murray, Del Potro and Stanimal pushed the elite pretty good at times. Murray was great in Masters and sprung a few upsets on the big 3 in the Slams. Del Potro was a tough outing, pushing the likes of Djoker and Nadal hard in a few Slam meetings. Stan matched up best against Djokovic in the Slams.

In general. He only lost the finals of RG 2014-2015, USO 2016 and Queens 2018 after winning the first set.

Another interesting stat from 2013-2019

Djokovic dropshot attempts in Grand Slams against entire tour except Stan Wawrinka between 2013-2019: 42%

Yeah Wawrinka isn't that great of a mover or fast of an athlete, we know it

 

[ND-13]

This is the one and only black spot in Djokovic's otherwise classy resume.

Fedal did not lose to a single non ATG player repeatedly at majors in their prime.

If you had to be honest would you rather for Novak to meet Wawrinka or Federer in 2021 AO Final,

 

[Old Gregg]

Stannis is the man for sure but I feel a bit weird about him dating Mugu.

 

[ND-13]

If you had to be honest would you rather for Novak to meet Wawrinka or Federer in 2021 AO Final,

Tough question.Both are tough challenges but Roger cannot slug it out for 5 sets at age 39. I personally like Roger a little more than Stan.

So, I would prefer Roger as an opponent for those 2 reasons.

Of course it's not like anybody else made the Big 3 a bit more interesting before Stan decided to get his act together.

Novak Djokovic just can’t handle the Stanimal. Major, undeniable flaw in his career.

 

[Deleted member 748597]

The true ATG.

 

[BeatlesFan]

This is the one and only black spot in Djokovic's otherwise classy resume.

Hardly. He's retired in 13 matches in his career, including six slams. There's a significant "black spot."

No amount of black spots is gonna stop him from overtaking Federer lol.

 

[tsurismo5]

Federer has never beaten djokovic after losing the first set, except Dubai 2014.

You mean Federer.

His achievements are despite the retirements.

He had gluten allergies and also those occurred when he was before 23.

Have we all not made mistakes ? If you missed attending school because you are not well, it is a black mark in your career ?

Better stat:

Since 2014, Novak is 8-1 against Fedal at slams. The only loss being at FO to Nadal. In the same period he is 2-3 against Stan with the two wins being 5 setters.

 

[Mike Sams]

You mean Federer.
