. No Rafa means he wins 11 straight majors followed by a run of 6 straight majors.
But America!Going "old school" with 1981 Wimbledon final; the beginning of the end for Borg! If he had held his title for a 6th year, he might not have retired so abruptly at then end of the season in Jan.! IMO McEnroe shouldn't have even been there; throwing a monumental hissy fit in an early round match! They allowed him to continue when anyone else would have been disqualified calling the umpire a "bald eagle!" I lost some respect for them when they talk about being "above reproach" in matters concerning the tournament!

There are always risks to extrapolating like that because no one can win every single match even if they are the overwhelming favorite. Federer found that out in my avatar haha.If he wins RG 06 he would have won 7 straight majors
80 USO would have given Borg maybe the best season in open era. But imo most of all I'd give him 81 USO. He choked that match plain and simple in the third set. If he wins that he was 4 straight multiple major years which is ridiculous and matched only by Federer and he also doesn't walk off the court afterwards which might enable him to pile up the GOAT resume.
That one hurts too2013 US Open final.
if you're an agassi fan or pete hater, yes this is the match for you. Had a big impact on mens tennis for the next 3 years, this match.US Open 1995 men final. I'm coming for you!!!!!
Djokovic was horrible for two sets in the 13 USO finalHard to choose between the 2013 RG semifinal and the USO final that year. It would've been a wonderful feather in Djokovic's cap to defeat a prime level, lights out in the 5th set Nadal on his turf and probably would've prevented the subsequent defeats later on that summer. On the other hand, losing for the second time in three finals on his favourite surface, especially the manner in which it happened, was an absolute sickener and made me seriously question if a tennis God truly does exist. So yeah, if you put a gun to my head I'd probably go with the USO final.
Having said all this, I do believe everything happens for a reason and the chief reason Novak hired Becker in the first place was due to losing that match so if he had won it who knows, there might be no Boris on the scene and the rampage we've seen from the Earth's mightiest warrior these past two years might never have materialised.
The other good thing to come out of that final in NYC is that it put a rocket under Novak in all the matches he's played against Nadal on hard courts ever since. Like I said the other day, there's nothing like a good spanking every now and then and 11 wins in their last 12 meetings certainly attests to that!
He was all over the place mentally around that time. As a Djokovic fan it was so sad to see.
2013 was a sad time as a Djokovic fan
Apart from the first two months and the last two.
Aha yeah I guess.Apart from the first two months and the last two.
LMFAO!instead of bothering changing the outcome of 792 matches, couldn't we instead send a terminator in 1986 ?
Hang on a minute vive, this means there are actually four matches you're pleased Nadal won!instead of bothering changing the outcome of 792 matches, couldn't we instead send a terminator in 1986 ?
