When Federer was asked after the AO 2017 final why did it take him so long to win that 18th Slam, he immediately mentioned it was mostly down to Djokovic’s amazing level. He felt he was playing very well to win the trophy in some events (Wimbledon 2014, Wimbledon 2015, US Open 2015, Australian Open 2016) but he was unlucky to run into prime Djokovic.
