I honestly never thought of how similar their careers have been and wanted to share some numbers with you guys:
Another similarity is how they've often won their slams in bunches
Serena won 20 of her 23 slams in 4 separate streaks:
5 titles from RG 2002 to Wimbeldon 2003
5 titles from USO 2008 to Wimbeldon 2010
4 titles from Wimbeldon 2012 to US open 2013
6 titles from US open 2014 to Australian open 2017
Novak has won 18 of his 19 slams in 3 separate streaks:
5 titles from Australian open 2011 to Australian open 2013
6 titles from Wimbeldon 2014 to RG 2016
7 titles from Wimbeldon 2018 to RG 2021
- They're the only 2 players to win all 4 slams in their 20s and their 30s
- They're also the only 2 players with 100+ weeks at #1 in their 20 and their 30s
- They're also the only 2 players to achieve the NCYGS since Laver
- They're they're only 2 players to get disqualified at the US Open because of a lines person
