0%. No one currently playing on the tour has any chance to get to 20.

In response to the poll, 44%.

Rafa has a better chance of getting 20 Slams (from Djokovic) than you getting serious comments.

He has a 42% chance of making it to 20 slams. 20 slam finals that is. Even then I wish there was a lower choice for that one.

Making it to 20 slams is in the 0 to 1% percent area. Meaning you have a better chance of hitting double zero in Vegas.

Actually I believe he has already surpassed that - he has gotten into 31 slams so far IIRC.

His chance of winning 20 slams is <1%

He's nearly 26, he essentially needs to repeat his career up to this point to do that.

Beat me to it. As we well know around here he so far has 0 true slams.
Chances are he won't be getting any.

Isn't the correct answer supposed to be: 'Connors in five'?

BTW, celoft, do you really think it's so laughable to imagine that Nadal could reach 14 Majors?

20 majors? That implies Nadal has currently won half the number of his eventual career majors.

Let's see Nadal get number 11 first, eh?

I say he will get about 15 slams, 20 seems impossible with Nole around

Rafa is looking extremely fresh and has not dropped a set all week. Nole OTOH was exhausted at AO and is still carrying his fatigues.

Rafa will have a great 2012, even better than 2011 or 2010, but won't win any more majors. With some luck he may one day win one more major but 11 will be his max.

Therefore in conclusion, 45.5%.
