Slams finals won beating a 3+ slam winners (at time of match)

My top 5 all time are tennis players. But should we add ping pong players too since we are allowing club players?

Honestly, I like his list. The GOAT Djokovic hanging out with the pre-OE greats. Your pathetic Fedal nowhere to be seen.

Djoker can play Rita and Martha for some extra cash.

I bow to his historian knowledge since he watched tennis since 70s. I only started watching since 2011 - IDEMO

When every Djoker fan started watching tennis.

When every Djoker fan started watching tennis.

But he was originally a Federer fan.

Spencer Gore... sometimes I wonder what precise moment made you hate Federer? It’s obviously not only about the player but the person. Something that made your anger boil deep inside of you and it never stops boiling, no matter how many threads you create...

So what was it? The MTO before fifth set in AO17 final? Federer’s remarks on Djokovic retirements early on? The finger wag? Wimbledon 2009 clothing? His nose? What made you who you are today Spence? Please, all of us are dying to know.

Miami 2017. That was the moment he must have realized if this guy isn't contented he will torch entire ATP tour with average age a decade less than him.

It was epic in Melbourne. Good enough in IW but the sh*t really hit the fan in Miami.

Edited for clarity:

It has been suggested that the future performance of players should have no bearing on the measurement of their current status. Thus, many people are claiming this is a weak era because Djokovic is defeating players who haven't got a slam winning record. It doesn't matter if they go on to win multiple slams, we are told, it is their tally at the time of the match that counts.
With that in mind, these are the Open Era slam victories won against players who had won 3+ slams at the time of the match:

It tells us slam finals won against opponents who had already won 3 slams themselves.

I am still a Federer fan - as a fan of tennis as a whole how can I not be a fan of such a great player!

It's pretty obvious.

Then he started watching tennis since he was born like ALL Fed fans.
