Djokovic's Final Slam Count

[uscwang]

16 +
3 AO + 1 RG + 1 WB + 2 USO

 

[Lebsta]

Hopefully he stays at 16 but likely he’ll get to 20 maybe 21 max

 

[Shaolin]

22

 

[TripleATeam]

I'm going to say between 20 and 23. 21 is my guess - 2-3 AO, 0-1 RG, 1-2 Wim, 1-2 USO.

 

[Nadal_King]

20 -9 Ao ,6 Wimb, 1 Fo, 4 Uo

 

[TennisFan3]

I would say if he does NOT get injured, he will be the highest slam winning player male or female. Federer is not the Target for Djokovic. The Target is 24 slams.

And then he retires at 25 slams. Unless of course he gets injured before.

But yeah, he will cross 20, even in the worse case. He will be at 18 or 19 slams at the end of 2020. He will be world #1 for the next 2-3 years at the very least.

 

[CYGS]

25+

 

[BGod]

Well he's a legitimate threat at all 4. Like 5 years ago it comes back to nextgen.

I think he's got 4 more personally. 2 AOs, 1 FO & another USO.

 

[TennisBatman]

I changed my vote from 21 to 24 due to Novak's excellent performance over the last few months!

 

[titoelcolombiano]

It all depends until what age we think he can compete for slams. Since Djoker 2.0 was born in 2011 he has averaged 1.6 slams per year, if he wins at that rate until the age of Fed's last slam, 37 that is eight more. The reality is though that, that winning rate may and probably will decline with age which is natural. I'd go something more like four more which will bring him to 20.

 

[Turning Pro]

19-21.

 

[ibbi]

Conservative estimate has to be 35.

 

[Mike Sams]

If Thiem, Zed, Med, and Tsitsipas rise to their full potential in the next 1-2 years, Djokovic will probably struggle to win anything more after this year. Maybe another 2-3 Slams.

The competition will rise before he can reach 20 I think. No doubt that the Fab 4 will be much bigger factors at Slams (Thiem, Tsits, Med, and Z).

Just changed my vote again today from 24 to 25.

Well done, Nole Djokovic!

 

[quirotkicks]

Even if that happens Djokovic would be the favorite at Wimbledon for awhile. All those guys suck giant balls on grass, majorly.

No more Wimbledons even though there is literally nobody but 40 year old Federer and Djokovic who can even play on grass but another French? Hilarious prediction. You do realize Thiem and the up and comers are all hopeless on grass court don't you.

 

[TennisBatman]

2021 end of season reboot!

The count stands at 20 for Djokovic, tied with Federer and Nadal.

 

[Fiero425]

2021 end of season reboot!

The count stands at 20 for Djokovic, tied with Federer and Nadal.

But Djokovic got there sooner than Fedal; matching or setting new records ahead of time!

 

[Jonesy]

I can't believe i predicted Nadal would win 25 .

 

[MichaelNadal]

Nadal will be lucky to get another 2 RG. Let alone 4.

And Ultronians love to try to act like we were cocky

 

[jondice]

Some of you guys are good little psychics!

 

[Deleted member 762343]

23 is the safer bet at this point.

 

[Nadal_Django]

25 is achievable and very realistic imo.

 

[Hitman]

Whatever the final slam count, he looks like the likely winner now of the slam race. Even at 20-20-20 his overal resume gives him the numbers he needs.

 

[DIMI_D]

I think he has another 2-3 min in him I don’t think he gets to 25 but if all goes his way possible still.

Min has 1 more AO and Wimby to come possibly another US.

Best case scenario is 2 AO,2 Wim and 1 US for 25

 

[DIMI_D]

Best case scenario for Nadal is 23. Depends if he comes back with full fitness if that’s the case prob 1-2 more FOs best case scenario and 1 outside clay which would be minor miracle these days. If he gets 1’more FO he that will be a great outcome

 

[tsp_207]

3 AOs + 1 RG + 4 WIMs + 2 USOs.

 

[Nadal_Django]

I see Djokovic as a natural surface specialist from now on. So 2-3 Wimbledon, 2 RGs and possibly 1-2 AOs on HC all very achievable imo. I think he is pretty much done in New York, but outside USO i think he has 5-6 more in himself imo...

 

[Hitman]

3 AOs + 1 RG + 4 WIMs + 2 USOs.

Steady now.

I think his game is certainly getting more and more attuned to grass than ever before, his play around the net and some of those pick up and volleys at SW19 were sensational. A truly all court game there which is ahead of the pack.

Yeah you're right. I'll revise my total. 11 AOs + 18 RGs + 14 WIMs + 17 USOs.

 

[Hitman]

More reasonable for sure.

 

[TheAssassin]

As strange as it may sound he might fancy his chances at Wimbledon the most. Although what he did in Australia this year was an important statement win. He's not going down easily there whatever the circumstances. Roland Garros is anybody's guess even if Nadal fails to bounce back. US Open too.

More stunning rides are coming though.

 

[TennisBatman]

Djokovic has proven the concept of his approach with two key elements that did not exist in the era of Sampras: 1) a playing style that consistently wins on all surfaces and 2) a physical training regimen that keeps his fitness competitive even in later years.

When Djokovic said that Nadal was "beatable" after their first match at the French Open in 2006, he was serious. The many long rallies that the two players created in their many matches gave him the blueprint for developing the best tennis strategy ever used so far in the men's singles game.

And Djokovic took a page out of Tom Brady's fitness playbook that may let him keep playing competitively well into his 40s, if not still winning slams at that age. His flexibility is unmatched, and his ability to play with great energy in 5-set matches is remarkable for a player of his age. I see their approaches to physical fitness as very similar, though being in different sports.

I downgraded my prediction for Djokovic from 25 to 24 due to the difficulties created by the pandemic. Wimbledon was canceled in 2020, and the rules were changed for some of the other slams that made it more difficult for Djokovic.

 

[DIMI_D]

He should theoretically have 2-3 more left at least 1 more SW19 and AO and he is still a threat anywhere else if things go his way for a couple more yrs minimum

 

[dapchai]

Novak is guaranteed 5 more AO and Wimbledon until age 38 (he is aging better than Federer who can almost win Wimbledon that age vs the GOAT) so I expect 27-30 slams minimum.

 

[TennisFan3]

I think between 26 and 30 at this point.
Worst case: 2-3 Wimbledons. 2 -3 AOs and 1 USOpen or French Open.
Best Case: 3-4 WImbledon, 3-4 UsOpen, 1-2 RG and 1 USOpen.

 

[Mivic]

I see 3 more AO’s, 2 more Wimby’s, 1 more RG and 1 more USO

This could turn out to be a very good prediction. Let's see.

 

[Cortana]

I would say if he does NOT get injured, he will be the highest slam winning player male or female. Federer is not the Target for Djokovic. The Target is 24 slams.

And then he retires at 25 slams. Unless of course he gets injured before.

But yeah, he will cross 20, even in the worse case. He will be at 18 or 19 slams at the end of 2020. He will be world #1 for the next 2-3 years at the very least.

Spot on.

 

[DSH]

21 or 22

 

[Shaolin]

I think 23 is possible now.

 

[tudwell]

Looks like I picked 24 in this poll (not sure when exactly I voted). That seems more likely than not at this point.
