"Played in the final of 50% of the grand slams played over whole career

These are the 2 I'm most impressed by. Sick!
He did a lot this year I have to tip my hat.

...And since we are mixing women in this anyway, i would add tying Graf's 8 YE#1 finishes as well! Winning each of the 9 elite HC events at least 3 times each (achieved that by winning his 3rd Cincinnati!) is also worthy of note!

Congratulations Novak ... mind boggling numbers and consistency of elite level performance.

Have to agree with @MichaelNadal that the slam stats are unbelievable and most impressive.

Scary thing for the rest of field trying to catch him is he has 2-3 more good years ... maybe more, and the list is going to grow.
I don't think he has more than 3 years. But 2 good years I think is most likely.
