We've all speculated before on how ridiculous Federer's numbers would look if Nadal hadn't been born.. 20+ slams, at least 2 calendar year slams, 320+ CONSECUTIVE weeks at #1, 30 masters shields, etc.
But I haven't seen this one done.
What happens if Djokavic hadnt' been born?
My thoughts:
Nadal has 13 majors... he gets 2012 AO, 2011 Wimbledon
Federer wins the 2008 AO and we get 2, Fedal USO finals.. 2010 when Nadal was playing out of his mind (i'm guessing Nadal still wins that) and 2011 USO - which could've been an extremely interesting match, but I'm guessing Federer would've won that with Nadal leaving his uber serve at home.
Also I'm guessing Federer would've had a 70% chance to win the 2011 AO.
So, Nadal gets 2 Additional majors, Federer gets 2 more AO's (making 6 in a career) and a 6th USO and has 20 majors.
