G.O.A.T.
Took a couple of hours to get this data. I was interested in seeing how Big 3 played in all grand slam matches. This is what I found out.
Federer and Nadal start much stronger than Djokovic. Especially Nadal owing to his dominance at Roland Garros. They are winning higher number of sets in the first 3 sets.
Since big 3 are great front runners, most of the matches are over after first 3 sets. So here both Federer and Nadal are better than Djokovic on average.
Djokovic starts slower than both Federer and Nadal. He is prone to more losses in sets in first 3 sets. His level fluctuates more than both Nadal and Federer. He gets dragged to 4th and 5th set more often.
But by the time they reach fifth set, Djokovic separates himself from Federer and Nadal. The reason might be twofold.
First, since Djokovic gets dragged to fifth set vs lesser players, he has more opportunities to win in the fifth set.
Second, Djokovic has insane luck, mental ability, whatever you call it.
Adding the trending lines (stock guys would know it) to show where big 3 trend when they are prolonged in a match. Both Federer and Nadal trend down but Federer is trending lower than Nadal when stretched to the fifth set.
