He missed the 'sitting freaking duck' immortality boat - for freaking good? Duh!!!!!!!!!
Just pitchker Djokovic has won the Calendar Slam AND the Golden Calendar Slam (in the same freaking season).
Now pitchker him losing both. Not enough?
Try this:
Nobody who was competing knew how to even spell 'Slam' forget 'tennis'.

In the era of The Big Four, there have been 7 different years
where one of them has won 3 Slams in a given year and lost the 4th:
2004: Federer...lost to 3-time FO winner Gustavo Kuerten at the FO.
2006: Federer...lost to Nadal in the FO Final.
2007: Federer...lost to Nadal in the FO Final.
2010: Nadal...lost to Andy Murray at the AO.
2011: Djokovic...lost to Federer in an FO Semi-Final.
2015: Djokovic...lost to 3-time-Slam-winner Stan Wawrinka in the FO Final.
2021: Djokovic...lost to Daniil Medvedev in the USO Final.
If DM, who at the age of 25.5 has been past the 4th round in a Slam only 5 times,
ends up a one-Slam-wonder, history will almost certainly view Novak's missed opportunity harshly.
