See new title.

Edit: Initial title was completely wrong, which explains answers below. Delete thread, ban OP (please don't).

Plenty of players have beat them in one year.

 

[_Veli_]

He did it like the last 3 years or something. Probably several players have. I think you misunderstood.

Wawrinka AO 2014....

Oh I see, it must be at the ATP finals?

 

[Chokehater]

WHAT?

 

[Borkob90]

This is the fourth year in a row that he managed to do it. 2017 Nadal in Rome, Djokovic at RG. 2018, Djokovic in MC, Nadal in Madrid. 2019, Nadal in Barcelona, Djokovic at RG and WTF

 

[Cloren]

I don’t understand this stat. Federer did it last year? Thiem last year too?

 

[Martin12]

I guess this must relate to ATP finals only.

 

[YellowBall88]

So, my initial title was complete bollocks. Thought it sounded too insane to be true.
Sorry guys, I was so hyped up after the match, that any sane natural scepticism was deactivated.

In ATP finals only

Probably. Federer is the only one who has ever done it until today, but that's because Nadal skipped TMC/WTF in 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018, while Novak skipped it in 2017. So there weren't really many chances to achieve that feat.

Nadal didn't skip the tournament in 2016, Djokovic didn't skip it in 2017. They did not qualify in those respective years.

edit: correction - Nadal qualified as alternate

You are wrong. Nadal qualified in 2016 as number 7. And there is not much doubt about Djokovic being able to qualify in 2017 if he wasn't injured.
