Got to admire Lendl's consistency in doing it for seven consecutive years!

Also interesting that Nadal did it exactly 30 years after Borg every time.

Nadal's career is almost a copy of Borg's career, in terms of what they achieved in a specific time frame. Borg retired in 1983, so....

 

[Hood_Man]

It's fascinating to see Lendl's records appear again and again in these sort of consistency stats.

Seven consecutive years! Even Mr Federer failed to do that 8)

 

[Fedex]

Federer and Lendl's stats are staggering.

 

[Deleted member 307496]

Lendl did have a very consistent career.

Murray - 2012

Wrong, Murray = 2012 Roland Garros QF

OP said at least 3 semi-finals reached. Murray reached all 4 in 2011 and 3 in 2012.

i said, "Players Who Reached 3 or More Grand Slam semifinals in one year"

Murray reached 4 (which is more than 3) in 2011 and 3 in 2012.

Djokovic did it as a teen-ager in '07.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Idiot Djokovic missed on 2020 and 2022

 

[DSH]

Djokovic did it as a teen-ager in '07.

You should know that your idol turned 20 before RG 2007.

 

[Hitman]

You should know that your idol turned 20 before RG 2007.

Still younger than your idol. Lol

 

[nolefam_2024]

Still younger than your idol. Lol

But @DSH is factually right. Nole didn't make a slam semis before turning 20.

 

[Hitman]

But @DSH is factually right. Nole didn't make a slam semis before turning 20.

Did I dispute that?

 

[DSH]

Still younger than your idol. Lol

And what does that have to do with the above?

 

[Hitman]

And what does that have to do with the above?

That he still did it before your hero.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Nadal reached slam semis on all 3 surfaces at the age 21. And final at age 22.

Djokovic did the same at age 20 but final happened at age 25.

 

[DSH]

That he still did it before your hero.

I don't have them, unlike you, but it's good to know that saying something factual affects you a lot.

 

[nolefam_2024]

I don't have them, unlike you, but it's good to know that saying something factual affects you a lot.

Djokovic is not HIS hero.

He is YOUR world number 1.

 

[Hitman]

I don't have them, unlike you, but it's good to know that saying something factual affects you a lot.

You mean how Djokovic factually has more slams than your idol affects you? Yeah.

Nadal is hero, idol, we know this. Hey, its all good though. Enjoy.

'putting Nole in Rafa's side on clay, and Nole in Fed's side off clay'

 

[socallefty]

Amazing that Djokovic won 3 Slams in four years over a long period of 12 years while making the final of the 4th Slam in 3 of those 4 years. Versatile player.

Yes, these listed years are among the most competitive, if not the most competitive years in all of tennis.
