Federer has been in the most slam finals with 26, but has lost his last two, and three of the last four--nine losses in total. He was once 17-7, and now is 17-9. He has the record for winning his first seven slam finals, by the way. His first final loss in a slam was Paris in 2006 to Nadal. Incredibly, since Paris in 2006 (Federer won the Australian before Paris that year for his seventh straight major vitory, by the way), Roger has won 10 majors to Novak's 9 and lost as many finals as Novak (8). Since that Roland Garros in 2006, Nadal has won 12 majors and lost 6 finals. So, for ten years these guys have been right there with one another. Roger has been in 19 finals, while Rafa has made it to 18 finals since Roger's first loss in a grand slam final (to Rafa on clay). Novak has been to 17 finals since that time. Rafa has since then won two more majors than Roger and three more than Novak. It has been ten years since Roger first lost in a major final. Just food for thought.
