It's amazing that he only has 3 US opens.


In Novak’s defense, it would be 4 if not for a freak ball accident with a line judge last year. He was also up 1 to set to 0 against Wawrinka before Stan decided to go God Mode with his backhand in 2016.

I agree on the former. On the latter, putting aside that I think that French Final was the better example of "God Mode Stan", you can't really go down that road. It's a competitive sport and the other guy is there to win too.

See, e.g., Robin Soderling in '09 French or Del Potro in '09 Open. In both instances, the better player that day won the match.
