Lol if djoko couldn't even get through fedr in RG11 how was he going to beat Ned in the final. Also how is getting straight setted at the US open a near miss.
 
Nadal

AO 2010
AO 2012
AO 2014
AO 2017
Wim 2018

Djokovic

USO 2007
AO 2014
USO 2014
USO 2020

Maybe I’m forgetting something on the Djokovic’s side. Not interesting to do for Federer as he didn’t deserve most of his Slams any way.
 
Lol, Djokovic choked away RG15, W13 and RG11? :rolleyes:
USO 2016 wasn’t a choke/loss to opponent he shouldn’t have either. Maybe we can say that it had something to do with his physical condition at that point in 2016, but it’s different story.
 
I'm not quite sure this is how it works...
But anyway - for Federer and Nadal can keep as is in the OP, for Novak I would remove the straight set losses and US Open 2016
 
Some of these are more down to the opponent than anything else. You can’t win em all :cool:

the only clearly obvious one is 2019 Wimbledon
 
Federer

2009 AO
2005,06,07,11 RG
2008,19 Wim
2009,10,11,15 USO

Djokovic

2014 AO
2012,13,14,15 RG
2010,12,13,16 USO

Nadal

None
He already overachieved heavily with the help rigged draws and favorable scheduling.
 
Fraud:

AO 2005
He wouldn't have won RG 2007, but he would have made it a heck of a closer match
AO 2009
USO 2009
USO 2011 (maybe)
USO 2015 (maybe)
Wouldn't win W 2018 but would reach the final
W 2019

Ned:

W 2007 (he didn't choke this one, but it was close)
AO 2012 (that BH stings)
AO 2017 (also didn't necessarily choke out of the lead; when your opponent is hitting 23 winners in the same set, there isn't much 30 year old Nadal can do)
W 2018

Djovak:

Wouldn't win USO 2007 but would have made the match much closer
RG 2013 (though in fairness, he wasn't actually ahead for most of the match; blowing the fifth set lead, though...)
USO 2012
USO 2013 (maybe)
AO 2014 (close match)
 
And he might have lost one of them. Ridiculous to hand a guy a trophy when he's 4 matches away from doing it.
All that I'm saying is that he was the most heavily favored guy in a long long time outside of Nadal at RG and it took a freak event to keep him from winning it imo. Honestly him being out is all I care about though. Adios Novak ya know?
