Will Nole become the first player to have 5 consecutive seasons with 3 slam finals?

Currently, Federer has most consecutive seasons with 3 slam finals

That's 4. Nole has done it in

2011
2012
2013

Will he reach the final at US Open and then reach 3 finals in 2015?

Unlikely. Will Nadal or Djokovic ever reach all 4 finals in one season for once in their career? Federer, of course, did this 3 times.

You two truly deserve each other's company.

Even if Nole makes it 4 years it's not an equal comparison since Federer made 4 slam finals in 2006, 2007 and 2009.

Even if Nole makes it 4 years it's not an equal comparison since Federer made 4 slam finals in 2006, 2007 and 2009.

It would be its own record. If Nole reaches 3/4 finals 5 years in a row, it would be a unique achievement.

Fed reaching all 4 finals in 3 different years is a different and also unique accomplishment that shouldn't diminish a different accomplishment.

You can acknowledge someone else's accomplishments without getting insecure about it affecting Fed's legacy you know.

 

[The-Champ]

Nadal did 8 years of at least reaching 2 slam finals, if I'm not mistaken..

This is the answer

It would be its own record. If Nole reaches 3/4 finals 5 years in a row, it would be a unique achievement.

Fed reaching all 4 finals in 3 different years is a different and also unique accomplishment that shouldn't diminish a different accomplishment.

But the OP made a comparison as if those years are all equal when they are not. I mean Nole only won 1 slam in 2012 and 2013 while Federer won 3 slams per year. It's a huge difference, and trying to compare Nole to Federer without proper perspective is to undervalue Federer's achievements.

OP made no comparison about those years being equal. He pointed out a specific unique achievement Nole has a chance to achieve and offered information on what he would have to do to achieve it (reach 5 in a row since Fed has 4 in a row).

You deciding to interpret that as more than what it was and take it is as a direct comparison of the value of those seasons as "undervaluing Federer's achievements" is a perfect example of my point regarding your insecurity regarding his legacy. Otherwise you could just acknowledge it would be a great achievement instead of trying to put it down with a different achievement Federer has that does not relate.

Federer join Laver as the only player in the open era to reach 4 slam finals in a year.

Laver: 1969
Federer: 2006, 2007, 2009

:wink:

 

[Phoenix1983]

This thread is a bit premature since Djokovic hasn't even done it for 4 consecutive seasons yet.

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

Nadal did 8 years of at least reaching 2 slam finals, if I'm not mistaken..

not in 2009...

that will be impressive if djokovic does his 5x3F (straight).

 

[Noleberic123]

Yes he will. I don't see anyone stopping him this NA hc season.

2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 2014! didn't say consecutive

No. The new generation are coming and they are hungry.

For what? McDonald's? Sure as hell not tennis.

Silly comment. Think about the meaning of words before jumping in. They aren't good but they are hungry.

Raonic is a good example. He wants it, he wants it badly. His tennis just isn't good enough currently.

They all want it. It really doesn't matter.
