Roland Garros (one final, lost to Nadal)
Wimbldon (1:1, beat Nadal and lost to Murray)
US Open 1:3, lost to Federer, Nadal and Murray, beat Nadal)
Discuss...
His only Slam victories outside AO, so far, where when he beat Nadal in the finals in 2011, when Rafa was utterly hopeless against Djokovic 2.0 (7 losses in a row).
We'll have to wait and see whether it's just a meaningless coincidence, or a real sign of problems to win Slam titles outside AO, when he has to face tough opposition in the final.
RG was hardly surprising,at US he was never the favourite, save against Murray and that one had wind,with which he struggles regularly.
The only surprising,uncharacteristic performance was Wimbledon this year.
I don't see this stat as something particularly meaningful about his final showings.
The only person Murray could beat for his first grand slam was Nole. That has to say something. Even the old, grandpa Fed handed him his ass at Wimbledon. But Nole .... I am done with that jack***.
I'm quite sure he'll end his career with more wins than final losses at the US Open.
First loss there was his first GS final, against Federer who was still in his good times (this was even before 'mono').
Second one was his first GS final after 2 slump years, against Nadal who was having one of his two best years ever, hitting everything in from both wings, and serving like he's never done before (or after).
Third one to Windray, but mostly because he underestimated him and played half-arsed for 2 sets, gifting them.
Only one of those 3 opponents is still a factor, and Nole has 5x more hardcourt slams than him...
I don't think so. He would need to win 3 more USO to end up with a positive record of 4-3 there. Federer, Sampras and Agassi, the best hc players of the past 2 decades, were not able to win 3 USO after turning 26. I doubt Djokovic will either.
Federer is 1-5 in RG finals! Did you know that? Lets keep this turd of a thread rolling
Actually I just realised he's 1-6...insane!
Must be the worst clay player in the world...ever! But outside RG he's pretty good.
Djokovic is also 0-1 in finals in Croatia ( I always thought he had a poor showing there ).
