When noteable upsets occured in the semis, or close calls in the semis, etc..... Who do you think wins each of these:
Men
2010 U.S Open- Federer vs Nadal, had Federer converted match point vs Djokovic in the semis.
2011 French- Nadal vs Djokovic, had Federer not taken out Djokovic in a pretty big upset in the semis.
2011 U.S Open- Federer vs Nadal, had Federer convereted match point vs Djokovic in the semis.
2012 Australian Open- Murray vs Nadal, had Murray won super tough 5 setter vs Djokovic in the semis.
2013 Wimbledon- Del Potro vs Murray, had Del Potro won his tough 5 setter vs Djokovic in the semis.
2014 Australian Open- Federer vs Wawrinka, had Federer been able to win his semi over Nadal.
2015 Austrailan Open- Wawrinka vs Murray, had Wawrinka won his 5 setter vs Djokovic in the semis.
2017 Australian Open- Nadal vs Wawrinka, had Wawrinka won his tough 5 setter vs Federer in the semis.
Women
1991 U.S Open- Capriati vs Navratilova; Seles vs Graf; had Capriati or Graf won in their tough semi final losses. Dont bother with Capriati vs Graf as Graf always wins that match up.
1995 French- Martinez vs Sanchez. Had Martinez won her very tough semi vs Graf which she likely wins if she converts at 3-3, 0-40 but missed 3 returns.
1997 French- Hingis vs Coetzer; Seles vs Majoli; had Coetzer won super tough semi vs Majoli, or Seles won very close 3 setter vs Hingis in other semi. Seles vs Coetzer is meaningless since that match up is a Capriati-Graf type obvious. The other two are tougher calls given how poor Hingis was in final, and how great Majoli played in final.
1997 U.S Open- Spirlea vs Hingis. If Spirlea converts match point vs Venus in semis.
1998 French- Sanchez vs Hingis. Had Hingis not lost in a big upset to a hot Seles in the semis. Of note Sanchez is 2-18 vs Hingis including an abysmal record on clay.
2000 French- Martinez vs Hingis. Had Hingis not lost to Pierce in an upset in the semis. Martinez has bad record vs Hingis, but a good record on clay, and won their last clay match.
2003 Australian- Clijsters vs Venus, Had Clijsters convereted match points vs Serena in the semis.
2003 U.S Open- Capriati vs Clijsters, had Jen who was 2 points from winning her semis with Henin 11 times won and faced Clijsters in the final.
2015 U.S Open- Serena vs Pennetta- If Serena does not fall to Vinci in mammoth upset in semis.
2018 Australian- Kerber vs Wozniacki. Had Kerber converted match point vs Halep in the semis.
