When the Big 3 are untouchable

Federer vs Roddick AO SF 2007, 6-4 6-0 6-2


Nadal vs Almagro RG QF 2008, 6-1 6-1 6-1


Djokovic vs Ferrer AO SF 2013, 6-2 6-2 6-1



A dedication thread to the Big 3 when they are playing god-mode tennis. I'm sure there were other times when the Big 3 played at that absurd level...go ahead and post them below. Slams only and one match per player.

The bolded was not the final but the fourth round and before Djokovic had done anything of note.
As for the bonus blowout this was more due to the fact that Nadal was subpar and not that Djokovic was untouchable. How untouchable he was one could perfectly see in the final against Stan.

Not really untouchable but that's because Nadal in 2011 wasn't a Ferrer, Roddick or Almagro. The guy was going to have another 3 slem season with 5 masters crown. It took some of the moast ridiculous levels of tennis to stop him. Rome and Madrid level from Djokovic is absurd.

Only slams though...

Novak Rafa AO 2019. Total beatdown.
But the degree of difficulty for Djokovic was extremely low, because Rafa was recovering from ankle surgery and was unable to play athletic rallies (that is why he ended the points so quickly in his first 6 rounds to avoid retrieving).
"....because of the things that happened to me in terms of surgery, then what happened in Abu Dhabi, I was not able to work that much the defensive game. I worked a lot on the offensive game, but not that much on the defensive game.
To play against a player like him, playing the way he played tonight, I needed that defensive game to finally have the chance to be offensive, no?"
