There's no Federer curse.

It's just that the US Open hasn't been defended since 2008, so 17 years, now.

It's like I saying the "Borg curse", because no one can win a Grand Slam more than five times in a row... even Nadal at RG.

And even since the Big 3, Sinner and Carlos have already defended the other three.
Sinner AO 24-25
Carlos RG 24-25 and Wimb 23-24.

And it was pretty recent everywhere last time
AO Djoko 20-21
RG Nadal 19-20
Wimb Djoko 21-22
except... US Open. 07-08

Only the US Open is still holding out.

AO Agassi 00-01, Federer did it in 06-07, 6 years later.
RG Kuerten 00-01, Nadal 05-06, 5 years later.
Wimb Sampras 99-00, Fed 03-04, 4 years later.
US Open Rafter 97-98, Fed 04-05, 7 years later.
Thank you!
