If Djokovic somehow makes it past Medvedev, Thiem, Sonego, Rublev, Zverev, etc. then yeah Nadal will beat him in the final.

 

[Deleted member 748597]

He can, but he probably won't. Also, that's not enough for Rafa to end the GOAT race.

 

[PerilousPear]

The better question is will he win even one set, let alone 3.

Never. Because there is no race.

He can, but it wouldn't be easy. And yes, such a victory would officially end the GOAT race.

 

[aldeayeah]

Can they both make the final? If they can, all bets are off.

People said that of 2017 AO, and it was exactly as dumb as what you're saying.

Not comparable.

If Nadal defeats Djokovic in an AO Final he builds a 4-slam lead, likely to make it 5-slams at the French Open, completes the career double slam, completes the Djokovic slam (victories over Djokovic at every slam), moves to 11-6 h2h at slams and 6-4 in slam finals and 3-3 h2h in slam finals OUTSIDE of Roland Garros.

It would be over. (That's probably why it won't happen, too good to be true).

Fed also built a 4 slam lead over a Nadal in his 30s that hadn't won a slam since 2014.

The other statistics are kinda meaningless IMO.

It's very comparable.

It's not comparable because Nadal is epic, and Federer was always destined to be caught and surpassed.

 

[aldeayeah]

Ah, ok, it's a matter of Nadal exceptionalism then. Carry on.

No, it's just not worth further pointing out the self-evident differences to someone who refuses to see them.

 

[aldeayeah]

I'm a Nadal fan since before he won his first slam. That doesn't mean I'm delusional.

If you were a journo and said that to Nadal in an interview, he'd rightly chew you up and tell you not to take anything for granted.

Rafa and novak won't reach the finals. they are now OLD and has been pass by young guns. Thiem will be in the final for sure. Thiem will most likely play against Tsiisipas in the final.

That’s probably enough to end the GOAT race. DCGS with 22 slams (AO + FO)?
