Next time the Big 4 all reach a slam SF?

[SpicyCurry1990]

All 4 members of the big 4 have reached the slam semifinals 4 times:
USO 2008 (Murray def Nadal, Fed def Djokovic/ Fed def Murray)
FO 2011 (Fed def Djokovic, Nadal def Murray/ Nadal def Fed)
USO 2011 (Djokovic def Fed, Nadal def Murray/ Djokovic def Nadal)
AO 2012 (Djokovic def Murray, Nadal def Fed/ Djokovic def Nadal)

The last time all 4 members of the Big 4 reached a slam semifinal was AO 2012. Since then we have had 9 slams: 4 times, 3 members have been in the SF, and 5 times 2 members have been in the SF.

These are the numbers from FO 2012 to FO 2014:

SF+ reached by big 4:
Djokovic - 8 SF, 6 F, 1 W
Nadal - 5 SF, 5 F, 4 W
Murray - 5 SF, 4 F, 2 W
Federer - 4 SF, 1 F, 1 W

Totals: 22/36 SF, 16/18 F, 8/9 W

SF+ reached by others:
Ferrer - 4 SF, 1 F, 0 W
Wawrinka - 2 SF, 1 F, 1 W
Tsonga - 2 SF, 0 F, 0 W
Berdych - 2 SF, 0 F, 0 W
Del Po/Janowicz/Gasquet/Gulbis - 1 SF, 0 F, 0 W

Totals: 14/36 SF, 2/18 F, 1/9 W

Fairly dominant, but the run of the 7 previous slams (which encompasses 3 of the 4 all big 4 SFs) is staggering

Wimbledon 2010 to AO 2012:

SF+ reached by big 4:
Djokovic - 7 SF, 5 F, 4 W
Nadal - 6 SF, 6 F, 3 W
Murray - 6 SF, 1 F, 0 W
Federer - 5 SF, 1 F, 0 W

Totals: 24/28 SF, 13/14 F, 7/7 W

SF+ reached by others:
Berdych - 1 SF, 1 F, 0 W (Wimb 10 beat Fed in QF and Djokovic in SF)
Ferrer - 1 SF, 0 F, 0 W (AO 11 beat Nadal in QF)
Tsonga - 1 SF, 0 F, 0 W (Wimb 11 beat Fed in QF)
Youzhny - 1 SF, 0 F, 0 W (USO 10 beat Wawrinka in QF who beat Murray in R3)

Totals: 4/28 SF, 1/14 F, 0/7 W

I am certain it will happen at this Wimbledon!!

 

[SpicyCurry1990]

I am certain it will happen at this Wimbledon!!

Interesting if it does. Wimbledon is the only slam it has not happened at yet!

 

[Maximagq]

I can see it happening here if Nadal makes it past Kyrgios and Milos

 

[Mainad]

Interesting if it does. Wimbledon is the only slam it has not happened at yet!

If they all make the semis, it will be the first time they will meet as semi-finalists in a Slam as previous (or defending) champions! It may even be the first time ever!

There is no Big 4. Only a Big 3.

C'mon, don't exclude Federer just because he's a has been.......:twisted:

 

[Mayonnaise]

C'mon, don't exclude Federer just because he's a has been.......:twisted:

You misunderstand. Nadal, Djokovic, Murray are the big 3. Federer is the gigantic 1

 

[Anti-Fedal]

C'mon, don't exclude Federer just because he's a has been.......:twisted:

Well I guess you could argue its a Big 2 nowadays considering Fed is nearly at that Old Agassi stage.

 

[beast of mallorca]

You misunderstand. Nadal, Djokovic, Murray are the big 3. Federer is the gigantic 1

I know that he has a gigantic nose......GNOAT :twisted:

 

[unclenimrod]

I would be very surprised if Nadal beats Raonic. If he doesn't need to play him he'll likely get through…but Raonic has a pretty clear look at the final this year. He will beat nadal in 3 tie breaks if he has to. Fed, meanwhile, will have to deal with Stan probably. If it's Lopez he's through…If it's Isner its a toss-up though he tends to handle the big servers better than most. Has he ever played Isner on grass court?

I think it's the top half's tourney to lose…Djoker or Murray, though I would love to see one of the younger guys pop through. Dimitrov or even Cilic. Tsonga is always a wild card. In any case it is by no means a done deal that any of the top 4 seeds get through.

At least it doesn't stink of butt sweat like Nadal's does :twisted:

Do you use Federer's big nose to smell Rafa's tush ?:twisted:

I don't think Nadal is on this forum. You should send him a mail if you're so curious :twisted:

How ? What do you want me to ask him ?

 

[Mayonnaise]

You seem to be very interested in a certain "smell" aspect. Maybe that? Who knows, he might even offer to meet you :twisted:

 

[beast of mallorca]

I see you haven't passed English comprehension in school I said, "Who knows, he might even offer to meet you." :twisted:

 

[MichaelNadal]

I get the joke of it all really with the whole buttpicking thing, but seriously.... if you've ever adjusted your undies.. no matter how many times in a day, if your fingers smell, you might need to work on your cleanliness. The bp thing is funny, the smelly fingers thing? Speak for yourself :lol:

Thankfully, I haven't heeded it. You just have to settle for looking longingly at Nadal doing it :twisted:

It's obvious who your post was directed to You were in such a hurry to defend the guy and insult me that you didn't care to comprehend what I was talking about :lol:

Right, you're the only person here that does the old' smelly fingers thing. Did your post remind me to say what I said? Yes! Was it directed towards you specifically? No. I know how to use the quote button, it was a statement referencing ANYONE who says that because it doesn't make sense unless they stink when they pick their undies. But it's flattering that you want my attention dear! I'm talking to you now, I wasn't before... know the difference

 

[beast of mallorca]

Now, now, now...........nobody was insulting anybody, amiga. We were all playing around, ok ? No hard feelings, ok. Jest n all :twisted:

Neither was I even talking to him in the first place. He seems desperate to be in the mix with the old timers here, I'm actually flattered.
