Declining Djokovic means Nadal is primed for multiple Slams in 2017?

[thomasferrett]

As everyone knows, Djokovic is Nadal's biggest nemesis.

Djokovic isn't having great success in this part of the season which is normally his most successful swing. Nadal isn't having great success at the moment either, but, unlike Djokovic, that's normal for him at this time of the year... Which indicates that Djokovic is declining more than Nadal.

Murray is playing well, but Nadal's proven that he can beat Murray in Slams regardless of how badly he is playing and how well Murray is playing.

So, with Nadal's biggest obstacle out of the way, is he primed for multiple Slams in 2017?

Nadal has lost to Brown, Fognini , Verdasco, Pouille in his last 4 majors.

He is primed for multiple slams in 2017 if Berdych, Brown, Fognini, Verdasco and Pouille are all out of the way.

More likely it means Murray becomes favourite for the slams, with Federer 2nd favourite (apart from Wimbledon where he will be favourite)

Assuming Fed returns to his AO / W 16 level or better.

Djokovic is not only problem for Nadal

I wonder what a motivated from this decline talk and hungry for titles Djokovic will do come the new Majors season?

Since winning his last slam, Nadal's lost to Nole only once at the majors. The other losses were to Kyrgios, Berdych, Brown, Fognini, Verdasco, and Pouille.

Nadal won't be winning any more more majors because the balls are bouncing too high.
