How about 3 or more QF in consecutive years?

Interesting that Djokovic hasn't missed a QF since his breakout in 2007. Very admirable. Also interesting that Delpo has the same amount as Murray.

He lost against kohlschreiber at rg in 09. Otherwise, yes he s been extremely consistent

Safin got him in 2R Wimby '08.

Oh, nevermind, I thought it was all 4 quarterfinals. Still a nice feat though.

That distinction, still ongoing at 34, belongs solely to the guy in my signature.

How about a comparison of 4 grand slam quarterfinals per year?

3 seems like a convenient number to boost the number of people who qualify for the list.

IIRC, Fed's 34 straight (8 calendars and change) QFs is only 20 more than his
nearest challengers. Djok should move past Lendl into second alone in another six weeks.
