None of the big 4 won a slam in their 30th year

[rografnovand]

Weird coincidence. Not one member of big 4 won a GS in the year they turned 30
- Federer: 2011 No slams
- Nadal: 2016 No slams
- Djokovic and Murray: 2017: No slams

And 3 of the Big 4 won a slam in their 31st year, right after going slamless in the previous year
2012 Wimby for Fed, 2017 FO and USO for Nad and 2018 Wim for Djok, leaving Murr to win the USO to fulfil the prophecy

Every now and then I think about how this is an amazing coincidence.

Fed was the only one who made a final and semis in his respective year.

True. Federer was playing really well in 2011, just stopped by absolute peak Djok and RG Nadal. And of course the chokejob in Wimby

It's acceptable with Fed as he was old at age of 30.

By 31 most professional tennis players are over their mid life crisis.

So they've all been on the same drugs?

Plot twist!

None of the Big Four effectively won a slam in the year they turned 30, but Fed did it when being 30 at Wimbledon 2012. Nadal missed that at RG 2017 for a few days, as he won it days after he turned 31.

By 31 slams, or 31 M1000’s?

Fed was already old many years ago.

31yo. Like Djokovic. Racked by personal crisis at 29/30, a happily married father of two and Wimbledon champion at 31.

yeah,, he first became old in 2008 during wimbledon.

The closest one to possibly win slams and make finals/SF in 30th bday year was federer
But as usual of that time, his mental fragility business against nadal in RG2011 final... (The best mounted chance to revenge Wim2008 & Ao2009 which were another mental failures)

And....
How did I forget this one????????????
The ultimate choke in the history of all tennis chokes....
USO2011 SF :- ROGER FEDERER VERSUS NOVAK DJOKOVIC

It's acceptable with Fed as he was old at age of 30.

Also acceptable for Nadal as he wasn't just old then but also losing in the first week of slams.
