G.O.A.T.
Worst finals performances by Fed would be the ones he lost in less than 5 sets obviously.

08 RG
15 USO
07 RG
11 RG
06 RG

The 2015 Wimbledon final was the only other 4 set loss put of the 11 finals. But that was clearly a case of Novak just being too damn good. 15 USO Fed had more chances. And I still think 06 & 11 RG were winnable matches but shades of Chokerer.

W 2003

Hon. Mention: USO 2006

WORST:

RG 2008
USO 2015
W 2019
AO 2018

Not sure on the dishon. mention.

Nadal:

RG 2017

Hon. Mention USO 2010

WORST:

AO 2019
AO 2014
W 2011

USO 2019

Dishon. Mention: W 2006

Djokovic:

BEST:

AO 2019
AO 2016
AO 2011
AO 2008
W 2015

(not 100% sure on this list tbh)

Hon. Mention: W 2011 (I need to review the AO 2013 final, it could be that)

WORST:

W 2013
USO 2007
USO 2012 (I’ll attribute that to the wind
RG 2020
USO 2016

Dishon. Mention: USO 2013 or RG 2014, very tempted to say AO 2020

Though I was able to list some of their worst finals, note that the Big 3 have rarely played actual bad finals and even their worst ones are still pretty good... most of the time.
