Top 3 Career Achievements by each of the Big Three

[clout]

IMO,
Federer:
20 majors
237 cons. weeks at number one
Being number one at age 37
Honourable Mentions: 5+ slams at 3/4 majors, winning 11/16 slams between '04-'07, cons. 3 slam title seasons, and reaching 10 cons. GS finals

Nadal:
11 RG Titles
Youngest Career (Golden) Slam Winner
Winning 11 titles at 3 different events
Honourable mentions: 81 match win streak on clay, multiple slam titles on each surface, h2h record vs Federer and winning 3 straight slams in a calendar year

Djokovic:
Nole Slam
43 match win streak
2011 and 2015 seasons
Honourable mentions: positive h2h record vs Fed and Rafa, and winning all 9 masters

I disagree for Federer's 3rd achievement. In my opinion either 10 consecutive slam finals or 23 semifinals deserves that. I mean, jeez, that's 2.5 years of finals and almost 6 years of final 4 status. Insane. Being #1 at 37 is certainly an achievement, but who's to say that won't be more easy to achieve now and in the future? 10 finals and 23 semifinals in a row will never be easy.

Also, "2011 and 2015 seasons" is not an achievement - it's a statement that those 2 seasons were good, but there's no unique thing there. Federer had 2006 and 2007, which I rate very close to 2011 and 2015, and they were consecutive.

I think definitely the 9 masters + career slam is his 3rd achievement. Either that or 31 wins over top 10 players in 2015.

I doubt it will be really. Players are able to play at high levels in their early 30's not late 30's. 37 is not the new 30.

I'm going to mix this up a little bit. I will look at achievements that completely boggle my mind.

Federer:
339 match wins in slam tourneys. At 7 wins per tourney four times a year, that's 12 entire years worth of wins.
won two slam titles on different surfaces without dropping a set(2007 AO, 2017 Wimbledon)
record 34 consecutive sets won at Wimbledon(two separate times; has 3 of the top 4 streaks)
record 30 consecutive sets won at AO

Nadal:
incredible 81 match winning streak on clay- Wow!!
86-2 record at Roland Garros.--insane. Borg's 49-2 record seemed unbreakable, yet needed to go 37-0 just to tie Nadal's stint
16 wins in slam semis. This is unreal.
10 straight years of winning a slam title

Djokovic:
NCYGS
Started out season 43-0
16950 points in 2015
reached 3 consecutive finals at all 4 slam events

 

[Towny]

Federer:
11/16 slams
18/19 finals
237 consecutive weeks #1

Nadal:
Winning 9 out of first 10 RG, 86-2 record overall
81 match win streak on clay
10 years in a row of winning at least 1 slam

Djokovic:
NCYGS
43 match streak from 2010-11 beating Fedal 7 times combined
All slams, masters and YEC won at least once

Not to mention obviously incredible achievements such as 20 slams and 11 RG titles. It's honestly insane what these three have accomplished. We all have our favourites, but I can't help but marvel at the magnitude of their achievements

Maybe not, but it is certainly easier than it used to be. I'm not saying it will be common, just more likely to occur than 10 consecutive finals and 23 semis.

 

[D.Nalby12]

Nadal -

11 titles at one clay event
10 titles at another clay event.
10 titles at just another clay event.

Vamos.
