Will Nadal have any rival to challenge him? - Page 5

Nadal and Federer are two great players. Im sure Federer and Nadal will win for a few more years before the next generation takes over.

Nadal will not be on the tour for long because of his playing style.

The real question is, will Novak and Murray have rivals? Excluding themselves.

Nadal is the greatest. So, no.

It's ashame how people only go with the times. Nadal might have seemed invincible, but I knew Federer would overtake him for the number 1 slot again.

Nadal is only 19 and he can very well dominate the circuit for atleast 10 or may be even 15 more years. During this period, if he continues to annihilate his opponenets in the way he does right now which is likely the case and maintains the same form, he would end up winning atleast 35 - 40 grand slam titles. In fact he would win anything and everything that he enters. Don't be surprised but it's very well a possibility. I am not sarcastic but I am stating the obvious fact. No body has ever dominated the game with such an authority as this guy does. So tennis is heading towards a single man domination for the next 10-15 years with no real drama. That's what I feel. But it would be good if some youngster (Monfils, Gasquet or Young) rises up and at least throws him a challenge if not beat him though it would be highly unlikely. I don't like Nadal's dominance because of his brash, arrogant and ruthless personality and Nadal's fans can happily enjoy the game for the next 15-20 years where the game will have only a single winner in every tournament. Frankly, I can't think of anyone who can beat Rafa. He is beyond human. Federer fans and fans of other players can better stop watching tennis. Other players can only compete for runners up.

I know this post is more than 3 years old but I have to comment on something. There was never any chance that Nadal would be dominating the game 12 years from now and he certainly wouldn't be on the tour 17 years from now.

Even the youngest players on the tour like Ryan Harrison will be retiring if they haven't already retired in 17 years.

Del Potro will win the hard court tournaments from here on since Federer is an old man, Roddick will win Wimbledon and Nadal/Soderling will win RG. Murraylol is going nowhere.

what do you mean by this thread? being that nadal has struggled since the start of Roland Garros everyone is a threat. He doesn't play the same, I think he needs to go back to his pirate pants and his cut off shirt, the inner tiger in him is caged.

Nah, his knees are just screwed up dude. He wasn't going to last long anyway. He'll win a few more grand slams.
