"There are players who have had great careers and have not played in 36 Grand Slams": Stubbs marvels at Djokovic's astonishing Grand Slam record

Rennae Stubbs shared her thoughts on Novak Djokovic's incredible record of reaching 36 Grand Slam finals.
The former coach of Serena Williams praised the Serbian player for his outstanding performance in yet another Grand Slam, where he secured his 24th title, distancing himself further from Rafael Nadal (22 titles) on the list of Grand Slam champions.
In addition to his 24 Grand Slam titles achieved between 2008 and 2023, Djokovic has made it to 12 Grand Slam finals. It's remarkable that he has played in 36 finals, winning 66% of them.
Furthermore, it's worth considering that 'Nole' has appeared in the main draw of Grand Slam tournaments 72 times, which means he has reached the final in 50% of the majors he has participated in.
Rennae Stubbs discussed Djokovic's record and his outstanding performance at the 2023 US Open during a conversation with Catlin Thompson on her podcast:
"I think physically that was probably as taxing as you get. Beating Alcaraz in a best of five sets and that match was absolutely phenomenal. Medvedev’s tennis in that match was unreal,” said Stubbs about the final against Medvedev.
"You know when Alcaraz comes in and against a lot of these guys, they’re just not able to pass him like Medvedev is… he’s 20 feet behind the baseline, can still find the angle. I think he got the better of Alcaraz [because he was] just better under pressure from Alcaraz coming in," she added.
"Whereas Novak’s patience level is off the charts. He just waits and waits and waits and doesn’t panic, doesn’t get too overrode by the situation clearly because he's 36th… I think he’s [played] 36 Grand Slam finals. I mean that’s f*cking insane. There are players who have had great careers and have not played in 36 Grand Slams," Stubbs concluded.
