I don't think you can definitely assume Nadal will not increase his slam count. At the slams he did well against everyone except Djoker. Unless others start beating Nadal as well, especially on clay, or he gets injured, he should add to his slam count with a bit of luck such as someone else beating the Djoker (see FO 2011).
 
Never. I think Nadal will finish with 12 and Djokovic with 8 at most.

I hope Djokovic catches him, though! lol

Interesting to see that post from 2011. As we know, all of them have progressed.
And the question by OP is still valid.
This year Djokovic will catch Nadal and next year will cross him IMO

AO 2020? unlikely...WC 2020? possible, but like you said depends on whether Nadal wins them or not...My money would honestly be on WC as well, but that is only because i truly believe Novak will come back to defend his AO title again in 2020! But we'll see what happens...

In your dreams. Djokovic will never catch Nadal. Maybe two more slams.

Next gen players will catch Djokovic before he catches Nadal.

I agree there is a very real chance this happens. I mean,Djokovic must have suffered the most losses to NextGen of the big 3? He's lost to Chung,Khachanov,Zverev,Tsitsipas,Thiem...
 
Hood_Man said:
I don't think he will. 6 more majors is just an astronomical figure, it's one and a half times as many as he has now. And that's just to get to 10.

If he was 22 and just getting going I might think otherwise, but he's 24, he's got a lot of miles on the clock already and been playing at a high level for almost 5 seasons. He reached his first Major QF in 2006, that feels like a lifetime ago.

I can see him beating McEnroe though, and quite possibly he could be #1 all throughout next year.

In retrospect to think Nole would win another 6 slams after 2011 did seem like a lot. Yet so far he was won 11 more!
 
It’s hard to tell because we obviously can’t predict the future and tennis is an unpredictable sport. There are too many factors to take into account and too many unknowns.

I think he will most likely win one more GS this year (Wimbledon) and that’s it. At his age, I doubt he will be dominant, consistent and motivated to the point where he will win another NCYGS let alone a CYGS. Obviously I could be wrong. But if he does surpass Nadal, I’d say it will most likely happen in 2020. I’m gonna say USO 2020.

Why did you say that? He has 20 and is very likely to overtake him now.

Where is the poll option for : "It will not happen" ?
Nadal owns the FO and some of the others are going to start winning slams like Murray and Tsonga, so I do Not think the Joker man will surpassing Nadal.

Tsonga, really??

Djokovic can't even finish a tournament nowadays, he will be lucky to win one more slam (probably in the next 3 years sometime when he gets an easy draw) and it would only be hardcourt. Djokovic time is over. He made the decision to push his body past its means. Fedal will resume dominance at Wimbledon in 2012 and Nadal as always wins Roland Garros.
Click to expand...
The only people who pushed their body past its means were Federer and Nadal. Fedal time is over. Djokovic will continue dominance at Australian Open in 2022 and as always win it.
Born to play said:
Dude, even if he does get 10 slams, which he wont. Rafa still will win a lot of slams.
For Nole
2012: 0
2013: 2
2014: 1
2015: 1
8 slams, he can be damn happy with that.
But he wont win RG. Rafa will win it for the next 2/3 times.

He can be "damn happy" with 8 slams?? He "wont" get to 10 slams?? He's on 20 and could easily win a few more.

When all 3 are retired, Federer will have more slams than Nadal who will have more slams than Djokovic.

Federer will have the least slams actually.

People underestimated Djokovic

People grossly overestimated Djokovic generation, the next generation and the next-next generation.

Even after 2011 people underestimated Djokovic. I have no problem if it was pre 2011 as it was hard to predict the level he got too

If Djokovic doesn't play AO, and Rafa comes back from injury and is in good form by RG that could become a very interesting slam.

If Nadal is in good form at RG he will win unless he meets Djokovic who plays great.
RG20 was what happens when Nadal plays great and Djokovic terrible
RG21 was decent/good Nadal and great Djokovic

If Djokovic is not there Nadal better come to win it. I don't trust MedZed to win a slam without challenges, they will low their guard and we may end up gettting DeMinaur as a slam winner.

I don’t think that happens with Med based on the last 2 slams. Nadal if fit would have the best chance ever to win another AO if Djokovic isn’t there though
 
I don't see Nadal winning AO 2022 if he plays. He's been out for an extended period and he is at his least successful slam. I'd love to see it but my expectations are low. I think he will gear up for a tilt at RG and the potential to take the outright slam lead.

Djokovic has utterly dominated Nadal at his very best, and with Fed not being around much longer to take Djoker out for Nadal, Nadal's slam count will probably not increase any time soon. He is essentially doomed.

Djokovic couldn't even dominate the most injured version of Nadal, a foot injury so bad that Nadal shutdown his season, and Djokovic still needed to win a 98 minute 3rd Set....
Djokovic is doomed, if Nadal's foot improves even slightly....

Revisionist history. He was fine until he ran out of gas in the last set and also said the foot did not affect his play. He has never said his foot affected his play. He was also moving just fine until he ran out of gas.

Seriously, what are you gaining from praising the element of hindsight that you had no idea was going to happen in the first place?

Nothing really, I just like seeing the predictions of people being so sure of what will happen and speaking with such certainty, only to end up completely wrong and then sweep their predictions under the rug like it never happened. :-D
 
What a epic bump.
It took longer than expected because both of them increased slam count regularly. But finally djokovic catched up with Nadal.
And he should cross him in AO 21.

If not, FO 21 would decide who will cross whom

He is essentially doomed. Given these facts, we can now begin making predictions as to when Djoker will pass Nadal's slam count since Djoker has no one that can beat him at a slam other than Federer.

Current slam count: Djoker 4, Nadal 10.
Slam gap = 6

Djoker is only 24 and has a one year advantage on Nadal in this regard, and probably more so in terms of fewer years playing peak tennis. Considering peak tennis play, Djoker is probably 3 or 4 years 'younger' than Nadal.

Thus, I would say Djoker will possibly tie Nadal at AO2014. i.e. he will win 2 slams in 2012 and 3 in 2013. I doubt Nadal will win any more slams so the gap probably won't widen.

Any other guesses?

OPs prediction all went wrong.
In 2012 both Nadal and Djokovic won 1 slam each.
Count 2012 : nole 5 nadal 11
In 2013 nadal won 2 and djokovic won 1
Count 2013 : nole 6 nadal 13
In 2014 both won 1 each
Count 2014 : nole 7 nadal 14

So this prediction went badly wrong.

However by FO 2016, Djoker reached 12 with nadal stuck at 14. He was very close then.

But by 2018 FO, Nadal had reached 17 slams and nole was still at 12.

Then the epic second dominance of novak started

It's funny to see how extremely wrong people were 12 years ago and then even with the benefit of that hindsight, how wrong people were 4 years ago.
