Novak goals for the future?

Outside chance, but his next goal after taking the Slam lead ought to be the total men's singles titles (Connors record). He could win maybe 4 more titles this year (let's say), which would put him at 88, 21 behind Connors' 109. Three years of 7 titles or four years of 5-6 titles could get the job done.

It's a good goal, but I don't like the idea of playing a bunch of 250s to up his total quantity.

30 Slams is Novak's goal. Think about it. What better way to put himself completely out of reach?

"Yeah, Roger's got 20 and Rafa has 25... but I've got 30"

He plays for six more years until he's Fed's current age, he's got 30 easily.

26 slams and he can rest.

He doesn't really play them. My meaning was for him to continue racking up more titles in general. Four slams plus usually about 7/9 masters plus ATP Finals is 12 tournaments a year. He historically, since 2011, has participated in only 2-3 ATP 250/500 tournaments a season, so that means about 14-15 tournaments a year, something that's doable. He can rack up 5 titles a year on that schedule.

I think his only goal right now is to break that GS record. I'm pretty sure he will retire right after Fed and Rafa if he holds that record. Motivation plays a huge role in his game and these two rivals motivate him to play this good.
