Connors, Pete & Roger are firmly in a class of their own at the US Open but how do you rank the 2nd tier of legends:
Nadal 4 in 5 Finals, 3 Semis
McEnroe 4 in 5 Finals (Threepeat), 3 Semis
Lendl 3 in 8 Finals (Threepeat), 1 Semi
Djokovic 3 in 8 Finals, 3 Semis
Agassi 2 in 6 Finals, 4 Semis
I know Agassi with his 2 titles sticks out like a sore thumb but arguably toughest opponents in losses of Sampras (3) & Federer in finals and Lendl twice in semis as a teen.
And of course Lendl had 8 consecutive Finals which is the record for any Slam and again tough opponents.
And with McEnroe & Lendl there's a gap with winning 3 in a row and Nadal/Novak not even having a repeat.
1. Lendl
2. McEnroe
3. Djokovic
4. Agassi
5. Nadal
Controversial I'm sure but Andre has the 1 additional Final & Semi while facing an absolute wall in later stages. Nadal has the 2 quality wins over Novak but Anderson/Medvedev is below even a Todd Martin for Agassi while getting Lendl to 4 sets alone as a teen is massive. Nadal also got obliterated by Potro twice and Andy Murray. So yeah seeing Agassi still above.
