Djokovic, Nadal and Federer: The semi-final breakdown
Jun 6th 2019 1:34PM
Remarkably, it has been seven years since Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer all reached the semi-finals of the same grand slam.
But the trio have made it to the final four of this year's French Open, ending a run of 27 majors that has seen at least one of the sport's greatest stars absent from the penultimate round.
It is only the 12th time that Djokovic, Nadal and Federer have simultaneously made runs to the semi-finals at a grand slam.
We look back at the previous occasions and see who has the best record.
