Signature Wins

It seems, at least among the best male tennis players, that there is an early win that shows that they are going to be very, very good.

For Boris Becker, he won Queen's and Wimbledon in his first and second tournament. For Wilander, he wins the French Open the year after Borg won. For Sampras, when he won the US Open, he knocks out Lendl and McEnroe, when Lendl was still playing pretty well, and McEnroe was on a bit of an upsurge.

For Roger Federer, a key win was beating Sampras at Wimbledon. Although he would lose in the next round and then lose early the next year, this showed that he would eventually win big tournaments over and again.

Will this be Djokovic's signature win? He's come out of nowhere to skyrocket to the top of the ranks?

We'll see.
