The dust has settled on the four Grand Slam events of the 2021 season.
World number one, Djokovic stood in front of the finish line and regrettably lost, watching the first post-95 Grand Slam champion Medvedev lift the crown and also announcing the failure of the annual Grand Slam miracle.
However, the four Grand Slams alone won three crowns throughout the season, and also equaled the record held by old rival Federer, who won three Grand Slam titles three times in a single season.
At the same time, the four Grand Slams have all reached the final, which also increased djokovic's number of times to enter the men's singles Grand Slam finals four times, also side by side with Federer, and the two share the best in history.
Today, the Great Qin Gecko takes a look at the eight gods in the history of men's tennis who have reached the most Grand Slam finals.
Eighth Man (15 times): Roy. Emerson
Former Australian great tennis star, with 12 Grand Slam singles gold cups and 16 doubles Grand Slam titles, is the only male player in history to win a Grand Slam in singles and doubles.
Emerson's 12-seat Grand Slam Singles Gold Cup was once considered an unattainable record in men's tennis until 2000, when it was broken by Sampras.
Unfortunately, Emerson's 12 Grand Slam titles were won before the Open era, which also affected his historical standing.
In terms of the number of times they have reached a Grand Slam final, the Australian has a total of 15 times. Won 12 of them, only 3 times, and the probability of winning the championship is as high as 80%;
Seventh Man (16 times): Bjør. Borg
Swedish legend Borg is one of the most talented players in the history of men's tennis.
Having won the French Open and Wimbledon titles for four consecutive years, this ability to switch between clay and grass is the only thing in the tennis world.
Borg has reached 16 grand slam title battles, winning 11 of them, ranking 7th on the list;
Sixth Man (17 times): Rod. Laver
Australian celebrities are absolute legends. His two annual Grand Slams became miracles that would be difficult for future generations to complete.
In the just-concluded US Open final, Laver came to the final venue to once again witness the failure of the younger generation to challenge the annual Grand Slam record in front of him.
17 Grand Slam finals, 11 of which, Laver is a living fossil in men's tennis;
Fifth Man (18): Pete. Sampras
Like Emerson, Sang's record of 14 Grand Slam titles was once considered an unsurpassable record.
But now, it has been far away from the three Fernards, the new kings have alternated, and the tennis world has blossomed.
In terms of the number of times he has reached the final of a Grand Slam, Sampras has done it 18 times, of which 14 have completed the summit, with a winning percentage of 78%;
Fourth man (19 times): Ivan. Lendl
Former Czech ball king, he was the absolute ruler of the mid-to-late 80s.
Having ascended to the year-end ball throne in the four years of 1985-87 and 1989, the ATP world ranking number of first weeks is 270 weeks, also ranked fourth in history, and has won 94 singles titles in his career, the third person after Connors and Federer.
In terms of the number of times he reached a Grand Slam final, Lendl had a total of 19 times. However, he has only won 8 of them, and he is also the only player on the list to win less than 50%.
Third person (28 times): Rafi. Nadal
Although Spain's king Nadal is only ranked third on the list, he is 9 times higher than the fourth-place Lendl, who also has 20 Grand Slams with Feder, and although the number of finals is not as good as the two old opponents, the probability of winning the championship is higher than theirs.
He reached the final 28 times and won 20 titles. Only lost to three players: Djokovic 4 times, Federer 3 times and Wawrinka 1 time;
First man, double kings side by side (31 times): Federer and Djokovic
Djokovic lost this year's US Open final, but still caught up with Federer in the number of Grand Slam finals.
Both are 20 wins and 11 losses. Federer's 11 losses were also due to 3 people, namely: Nadal 6 times, Djokovic 4 times, and Del Potro 1 time;
Djokovic's 11 losses have been done by five players: Nadal 5, Federer 1, Wawrinka 2, Murray 2 and Medvedev 1.
