I accept Nadal will likely easily take over with most wins in Grand Slams.

That's ridiculous. He won't overtake him full stop, let alone easily.

Why not. Even if he doesn't win another Wimbledon, he'll win another 8 French Opens. He is only 23!

He's 24, and he's not winning slams in his 30s. Absolutely no chance with the way he plays the game.

People are also assuming, like they did wrongly in 2008, that Federer won't add to his current tally. I'm expecting the great man to pick up at least a couple more before he calls it a day.

Nadal doesn't have to play well to win the French, he'll win 7 or 8 more of them. Federer MIGHT win 1 more, but he won't beat Nadal in a final to do it.

in the next 3-4 years he can atleast add 3 french opens and couple of wimbledons and you never knew what will happen in the other slams.While i agree with you, he might not last till 30s he can still equal pistol petes record.

I agree federer can win 1-2 more IF he gets lucky with his draw.He will NOT beat rafa in a grand slam.I hope rafa draws fed in the semi finals at US open.

he probably wouldnt..considering how unfortunate he was injurywise and his chronic knee problem prevented him from winning wimbledon last year and gifting fed another title.Should have won french open last year ago, but he was on one leg really..i am not giving an excuse, but roger has to thank his lucky stars that rafas injury helped him into greatness.

Please give me a bucket so I can vomit into it.

i am not giving an excuse

Yes. Yes you are.

Rafa only has himself to blame for his injuries, his style of play takes it's toll.

 

[Total Power]

Anyway I personally think that Rafa will still play and be competitive and probs make it deep into some slams but he has just looked so beatable the last 11 months whereas before he looked like an unstopable machine. I dont think he will ever win another non-clay slam. Just my opinion.

some real gold in this thread. Looks like i almost pwned everyone in this thread

It gets a bit messy having multiple threads on the same player. You won't go to the AFL club boards and find three or four threads on a player: Dane Swan, Swannie, King Dane, ...

Would be a lot cleaner to have one thread for each of the main players where you can slap or sledge them to your heart's content.

lol at nadal on the decline and not being able to win another slam again, except for maybe compete for the french

then he defends his wimbledon crown the first chance he gets to, and wins the us open straight after.

would absolutely LOVE to see the doubters quote themselves and then attempt some sort of defence.
