Grand Slam Matchups Where One Player Lost in 3 Sets and Then Beat Other Player the next Year

[McEnroeisanartist]

What Grand Slam matchups can you think of where one player lost in 3 sets and then the next year beat the other player in 3 sets?

Some that come to mind:

Connors def McEnroe in 1978, McEnroe def Connors in 1979 - US Open
McEnroe def Lendl in 1984, Lendl def McEnroe in 1985 - US Open
Federer def Djokovic in 2007, Djokovic def Federer in 2008 - Australian Open

Shame Nole lost in both 09 and 10 just before Fed as I think he loses both in 3 or 4.

true, the subject of the OP and the actual OP itself don't match, which confused me
