Andy Murray Latest and General Tennis Chat

Bit underwhelming for Djoko that he only managed one GS this season tbh.

But he ran into two players playing their best tennis of their respective careers. Wawrinka will never play better and neither will Nishikori. Nadal at Roland Garros won't be beaten by Djokovic. Could have been worse as he did his best to gift Federer the match at Wimbledon

Was Federer actually injured? The reason he had given was that he wasn't match fit due to playing for nearly 3 hours in the semi and that he wasn't fit for it at his age, surely if he wasn't actually injured he should have played the final, or am I looking at this the wrong way?

Roger Federer won the Davis Cup for Switzerland earlier.

He's now won the Davis Cup; Wimbledon, French, US and Australian Opens; the Tour Finals; and the Olympics (Doubles tbf). You can even throw a Hopman Cup in there.

I take it that "clean-sweep" is without parallel in tennis history?

Hopman Cup is an exhibition tournament and has no real value. Andre Agassi has won everything, Federer is still to win singles Gold at the Olympics. Djokovic is missing the French Open and Olympic gold, Nadal is missing a World Tour Finals trophy.

Rod Laver missed out on a World Tour Final trophy. They started in 1970. Emerson won everything that he could have won. Also players in the professional era used to skip the Australian Open due to costs and travelling there, Borg only played there once.

But to answer your question Andre Agassi has done it. Federer, Nadal and Djokovic all have something missing from their CV.
