$1,000 Bet - Would you bet that Nadal has won his last Grand Slam or he wins 4 more

[McEnroeisanartist]

$1,000 Bet - would you bet that Nadal has won his last Grand Slam or he wins 4 more Grand Slams?

 

[Nostradamus]

what if he only wins 1 more slam ?

 

[DSH]

False dichotomy!

 

[Rosstour]

He could win 4 more in just the next 2 seasons.

 

[ChrisRF]

The least thing I know is that I would never take any bet that would imply Nadal not winning RG 8 months from now.

 

[Deleted member 770948]

Nadal said in an interview this year that he wants to retire with 25 slams.
And Nadal is known for underestimating himself, so I'm pretty sure he'll win more than 25.

 

[Phoenix1983]

Barring injury, he'll win RG until he's 40.

 

[recreationalplayer]

I would take neither bet. At least one more but four sounds like too many.

 

[Jonesy]

He will be winning slams until 40.

 

[TripleATeam]

Probably not 4 more, but definitely would take it over him staying at 20. He'll win at least 1 of the next 4 RGs, more than likely 2-3, let alone any other slam.

 

[DSH]

Barring injury, he'll win RG until he's 40.

Pancho Gonzales was a semifinalist at the 1968 French Open at that age!

 

[Le Master]

False dichotomy!

I don't think you guys understand. Think of it as a lottery. You have to commit to either scenario and you get $1,000 if you're correct. So which do you choose?

 

[Leandro2045]

I can really see a 38 year old Rafa winning Roland Garros + 2024 Olympic Gold in the Philippe Chatrier back to back.

And i'm not even joking, this is a real possibility with the modern technology all these elites athletes have.

What exactly is this modern technology you speak of?

 

[Nostradamus]

what if we are incorrect ? do we have to give you $1000 ?

 

[Daniel Andrade]

There are more options than that

 

[FrontHeadlock]

The odds of him not winning 1 more RG are really small so I think you have to go with 4

Do you see him playing 4 more years and participating and fighting for the gold medal in Paris 2024?

 

[octogon]

4 more almost feels like the lowball end of the spectrum if we give him a minimum of 2 more French Opens (no one is close to him there). Rafa himself is aiming for 25. And he is the kind of guy to give conservative estimates. If everything goes right and he has some more 2 slam years, a number like 27 is actually possible. And that would have seemed ridiculous not long ago.

So I'd take that bet in a heartbeat.

 

[USO]

what if we are incorrect ? do we have to give you $1000 ?

YES. He accepts bank transfers and money orders.

 

[TennisHockey]

What weird poll choices.
I would say Rafa will win between 1-3 more. 4 seems too much (but I can see Djokovic getting that much).

 

[nov]

So if i bet you that Nadal wont win 25 slams, you will accept right?

 

[Jonas78]

If i had to choose between 0 and 4 i would pick 0.

 

[Tennisbg]

I will not bet on 0 or 4. Why there is no option for 1,2,3? When you bet online you have every option available.

 

[nov]

Because 90% TTW swear their lifes Nadal gonnat win 25 slams but no one can bet on it.

 

[titoelcolombiano]

He's probably not winning 4 more so if they were the only two options, I'd go with no more but I think he'll end up with 21, maybe 22 if things go right for him.

 

[SinneGOAT]

Unless he keeps the physical exercise high into his late 30’s and 40’s possibly, I see him hitting the wall around 38/39, similar to Fed where you just aren’t what you were at 24/25.

 

[DSH]

22 will be Nadal's final number.
No more, no less!

 

[AceyMan]

What exactly is this modern technology you speak of?

It's called "the evolution of the human legs (and torso, and arms)".

Rafa has the latest goods.

/Acey

Y'all surely read that Swiatek's pop was an Olympic team rower (= strength / stamina / power-to-weight ratio, etc.). But, as they say, "You can't pick your parents."

Human beings evolving isn’t “modern technology.” Also, I don’t believe there’s any proof that humans have evolved recently that would make them better tennis players.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Well, he's still 34, too young to bet against him. He can win 4 more slams just from RG.

The gist of my statement blew by you like a Djokovic DTL backhand winner. Just. Wow.

 

[Nadal_King]

Nadal.will win 6 more slams- 3 Fo, 1 U, 1 Wimb,1 Ao

 

[Deleted member 758560]

22 will be Nadal's final number.
No more, no less!

21

 

[DSH]

21

 

[James P]

Neither are likely to me, but zero seems less likely than 4, so I guess I go big.

 

[Xavier G]

It can be hard to know when a player has won his last Slam, but I think it's more likely that Nadal wins four more than not winning any more at all, as long as he's in good shape. He seemed very motivated and his movement looked pretty sharp last Sunday.

 

[zagor]

Would bet on 4 more in a heartbeat. He could easily win 3 more FOs alone.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Can I bet with your money?

 

[UnderratedSlam]

What a strange choice.

Zero or 4.

How about 1 or 2. Can we bet on that?

 

[Le Master]

The gist of my statement blew by you like a Djokovic DTL backhand winner. Just. Wow.

If you’re talking about PEDs/gear, that also hasn’t really changed in the last 20 or so years besides sarms.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Neither.
He'll win 3 more.

 

[junior74]

Please, not 4 more...

Bamos!
