In response to the poll, 44%.

Federer has a 1% chance, the rest none.

I agree. Djokovic and possibly others are going to stop Nadal from winning anything other than Roland Garros, and even if he was absolutely the best player in the sport right now, I would still think his chances are remote just because I don't think he'll play long enough due to his style being so hard on his body.

im afraid there is no short story to this http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=282818

none that would do it justice anyway

He has no chance. Period.

He could get to 16 or 17 GS if Djokovic2.0 didn't exist (and it is a bit shocking to think about it) but 20 GS is just too much for everybody.

I think he will end up with 11 or 12 GS (it depends on Djokovic2.0 heavily).

LOL, thanks, that whole thread can be read many times over. 4 months 26 days to the Real Slam!

On topic, IIRC since Rafa hasn't won the Real Slam yet, so getting from 0 to 20 is impossible.

Evan77 · 03-16-2012, 07:39 PM

the silliest thread ever... 20 GS, whatever

Pushmaster · 03-17-2012, 04:32 PM

Not impossible, but he'll have to figure out a way to beat the Joker in order to get there.

If Federer dominated the Nadal the way he dominated the field, he'd have 1 more W, one more AO(09) and one more RG (2011). I don't think he was a better player at any other RG against the field than Rafa, and Djokovic was better at AO 2012 against the field I think, though that's a close one.

Correction, if Federer dominated Nadal the way he dominated the field, he would have 4 more RG Titles, if not 5. Since Nadal beat Fed at 3 straight RG Finals 06-08. (Nadal beat Fed at the 05 RG Semis if you recall, and I'm pretty sure Fed would've beaten Puerta.)

So if you add that all up, Federer would have 22 Slams right now, possibly 23.

zero zero zero

Is this a thread in probability theory?

kiki · 03-19-2012, 02:54 PM

In such a weak era, he can win them...and he can always enter the WTA field, where he has not to fear an Evert,Seles, Graf or Navy...

kishnabe · 03-19-2012, 03:05 PM

He has at least 16 more chances at slams.....he could get to 20.....but Djokovic, Murray and Federer would stop him more than 8 of 16 events.

More likely for Nadal to win 5 more slams.

JustBob · 03-19-2012, 03:52 PM

Why do Rafa fans have such silly lofty expectations? The fact that someone with such average raw/natural tennis talent has been able to win 10 slams is already an astounding achievement.

ZeroSkid · 03-19-2012, 04:26 PM

Probably 15, 20 is impossible, not even Roger can get that many

Winners or Errors · 03-19-2012, 04:38 PM

0%. He's at 10. Are you saying he's going to win another 6 titles at RG, because that's what it will take for him to get to 20?
