One telling stat in the Open era is how many majors the men win when they have reached 30 and over. It is one of the reasons why I certainly don’t see Novak coming back to beat Fed’s 20 slams and why it’s unlikely, but not impossible for Rafa to do so. If the trend below is anything to go by Roger’s AO and 20th could well have been his last slam or he may win 1 more.
However, records are there to be broken and as we are seeing the trend in the ATP to older winners, do you see the below trend changing?
Laver - 4 (1 AO*)
Rosewall - 4 (2 AO*)
Federer - 4 (4 Majors where 128 man draw/7 rounds of best of 5 sets)
Agassi - 2
Wawrinka - 2
Connors - 2
Nadal - 2
Sampras - 1
Newcombe - 1
Ashe - 1
*But AO pre 1988 was not 128 man draw and 7 rounds of best of 5 set matches.
