Poll: Connors, Lendl, Sampras, Federer, Nadal, ??? Who will win most US Opens in the 2020s?

[Spencer Gore]

In the 70s it was Jimbo. 3 wins, 2 RU
80s it was Lend (tied with Mac on wins but many more finals). 3 wins, 5 RU
90s it was Pistol Pete. 4 wins, 1 RU
00s it was Rodger. 5 wins, 1 RU
10s it was Rafa. 4 wins, 1 RU

We're a third of the way through the decade and we've had 3 different champions. Which player will win most US Opens in the 2020s?

 

[Start da Game]

it could well be alcaraz with 3 victories......i do not see anyone clearly dominating this slam like pete or even fed did......

Even Fed did? LOL. You sound like he didn't win 5 in a row and 40 straight matches.

Indeed. Federer's five wins in a decade is the record. Followed by Rafa and Pete on four wins.

 

[Hitman]

Why is Djokovic's name there? LOL

 

[DSH]

Sinner should dominate the US Open in this decade but he has to do starting this season.
What do you think, folks?

Alcaraz will challenge him, expect a good rivalry. Or do you think Sin will be unstoppable at both HC slams?

 

[Jonas78]

Poll only needs two options, but hard to say which of the two...

Because his most potent conquered rivals were old Agassi and young Djokovic.

OH SNAP. Add them to the asterisk pile.

Just like Djokovic won 18 out of 24 slams vs old Federer, Ruud, Tsitsipas, Berretini, Tommy Paul and Ben Shelton.

Old Federer happened to be 2nd best player in those matchups, '14-16. All of Djokovic's slams in the 10's were against strong opposition. Many of Federer's slams were against iffy opposition.

 

[messiahrobins]

Alcaraz will break the record at USO , i think it will be his best slam with the FO . Think he will win about 7 FO's and 6 USO's. AO will be his weakest slam and W i think he at best wins 3.

You forget, Stats are only allowed to boost Djokovic. If they favour others then stats are bad.

Old Fed being better than the next two gens isn’t the argument in favour of Djokovic you think it is.

 

[SonnyT]

Djokovic beat old Federer in '14-16 in 4 slam battles. When Djokovic got injured, old Federer suddenly won 3 slams in '17-18. Coincidence!

For me, Federer declined a bit from his '14-15 form.

Old Federer went 0-6 in slams. He was no better than Roddick or Hewitt.

 

[SonnyT]

Federer went slamless between 04-06, when he went 0-4 against Djokovic at slams.

Federer won 3 slams between 07-08, when Djokovic was injured.

Federer went slamless after 08, when he went 0-2 against Djokovic.

Federer's problem between 04-retired wasn't age, it was Djokovic. After 03, Federer would've picked up 5 additional slams if Djokovic wasn't there.
