Nadal has been on the tour for 14 years now, so in terms of mileage, he's almost as old as Federer. Started real young.

If you could translate poetry or art into the sporting arena, Federer is it. The most elegant sportsperson I've ever seen. I think that is partly why people love him so much.
I think Djokovic can still equal him, 6 behind is a lot but if he is committed to it he will go very close. Would obviously need to pick up a couple this year though.
To equal him Novak needs 6 Majors. No man has won 6 majors from the age Novak now is. He CAN do it but almost certainly won't. This includes Fed himself.
Sampras had the same athletic attributes, graceful and catlike reflexesIf you could translate poetry or art into the sporting arena, Federer is it. The most elegant sportsperson I've ever seen. I think that is partly why people love him so much.
Garbage logic.
Such a black and white determination means that Ali can't be considered the greatest heavyweight let alone the greatest boxer.
Djokovic is the more likely to catch him than rafa, he blew his chance last night. At best i can see him getting to 16. Djokovic could easily win at least 2 grand slams a year the next 2 to 3 years which will get him almost there.I don't think he will either, but I was sure he was gone and his days of going deep in tournaments were over.
I agree that Djokovic is the biggest threat to Federer's records at the moment. It's not some crazy thought that he could continue to be a major force in mens tennis for another 5 years or so and pick up 1-2 slams each season. But it'd take an unprecedented number of wins after 30 and he'd be at long odds to do it. At some point the younger guys are going to start winning slams and if 1 or 2 of them are destined to be greats of the game themselves that could shut the door for Novak. I mean surely there will be at least 1 or 2 greats of the game born in the decade after Djokovic and Murray.
I don't consider Ali either of those.
Hes defintely the best that Ive seen, record speaks for itself and hes the best to watch.
Maester with respect it is utterly unprecedented for any player now Djokovic's age to take 1 to 2 slams a year in the next 5 years of his career. No one has done it. No one has come close. It simply doesn't happen.
There's a formula?Feds can win 2-3 more. He now has the formula to beat Nadal and Djokovich
