The Quest -The Final Conflict

[Spencer Gore]

For the first time in 52 years we've reached the grand finale of a Quest for the Grand Slam.

Only four male players in tennis history have reached this stage (one of them managed it twice). Two of those players went on to seize the crown; two failed at the very last hurdle.

Will Djokovic seize his chance of tennis immortality or will he join the two men who came so near yet so far?

You like Fed, we get it.

It's interesting that Djokovic has had the greatest struggle of the players to reach the final. If he makes it he'll have done it the hard way.
