A bit late, but I don't follow tennis or this forum for a long time, I show up from time to time.
So, congratulations guys, you did it, Nadal under all doubts has managed to win 20 majors and may even surpass the record one day.

Enjoy guys, you did it, it was your personal effort, you have finally equalled Federer fans who helped Federer to win 20 majors.

Celebrations are in order!!!

Lol, fans don't have anything to do with either Fed or Nadal's success.

Thankyou Jack!

This means a lot to me as all this hard work being a Nadal fan is finally paying off. I'd also like to give a special thanks to my mum who allows me to watch TV in her basement, as without her this would not have been possible.

Now now, let's not go too far. Fans buy tickets and watch players and cheer for players, they give them motivation and the drive to win, without fans there are no tournamnets, just 2 guys hitting a yellow ball. Players need us a lot more than we need them.

Fedal are our employees. I wish people looked government the same way, they are here to work for us, not we cheering our leaders, they are our servants.

Octobrina, thanks for your personall effort cheering for Rafa and make him better, he posed tough competition for Federer and made tennis interesting. I know some fans won't be admiting it, but tennis would be very boring if Fed won everything.

Yeah, short term, it's nice, but long term, competition is great. As a Fed fan, I look Nadal as a salad. Don't like him, but I know that he is good for me long term and for my health and growth.

You're right, upon further inspection this is why Djokovic is more prone to being demotivated than Federer and Nadal. Us Fedal fans are just larger in number and collectively we are better bosses. Perhaps if Djokovic had more fans he would also have 20 slams, so maybe we should appreciate Djokovic more for what he has accomplished with less fans.

I guess that is subjective. They do share, they pay taxes and then we build roads and other stuff with that.
There are countries far worse than America in that regard, but there are countries who are better, so it's very subjective.

Exactly, we are smart and willing to work and share with Rafa fans, that's why we all have more, that's why we have 40 majors combined. And it costs us nothing, just being a bit nicer to each other. This is intelligence.

Team work is how things get done, nobody ever achieved anything on their own.

I wish you lots of opportunities to enjoy eating the salad.

I've heard that in Ukraine the president has same point of view and he formed a party, and won the elections.
it's a pity that it didn't work out as intended though

Think Djokovic would disagree with that part.

You are incredibly correct
I remember following tennis actively from about 96 until Federer started cleaning up and eventually i would tune in to see if he is finally going to beat that spanish dude on clay and when Rafa started challenging on grass, we got a rivalry and tennis world became interesting again.
Watching Federer beat up on Blakes, Hewitts, Roddicks simply got boring.

Yeah, it sounds crazy at first, but we need decent amounts of stress in our lives to be happy and healthy. Don't know why that is.
Balance. All those Rafa fans insulting me and all those Fed losses, it just made me mentally stronger.
