Sure, those three are equivalent to Sampras, Boris and Johnny Mac.Let's start with winning this one first. Shapovalov berretini and huhu are no chumps.
Who?
Meeh, Rublev 2021 losses;Until they lose to Djokovic. Then everyone calls them chumps.
Fed LOLNadal, Stan, Federer in his younger days. Fed still has the higest tie break win% for example.
I think Djokovic has separated himself from Nadal a bit in that department. Over a entire career though, I could agree with you. There's not much separating themSurely you have to concede that Nadal is up there with Djokovic? I find it hard to separate those 2 as mentality monsters.
Age, loss of physical ability, all these resulting in loss of form and confidance.He could win the next ten slams. Who could stop him in this field? None barring injury.

Nadal looked awful on clay this year and it's not like the competition magically improved.
Djokovic is still fit and in good shape, but there is a thin line between having his current results and reverting to his 2017 self. He can still keep himself and the field in check, but he isn't super dominant by any means.

Surely that's impossible
Neither does anyone else with two brain cells to rub together.I don't think it's possible at all

Djokovic finishes at 12-4-8-4.
He can and he will. The tour is soulless #ShangTsung![]()
Surely that's impossible
Done by early 2023? I don't know about that. His motivation will be to distance himself as far as possible from the other two. Finish with 22 or 23 and it'll still be, "let's get a round of applause for the greatest three players of all time!" Finish with 26 or 27 and it won't be like that.Do these guys even watch tennis? It's all about the hype train with them. I reckon Djokovic will win about 23-24 max. But who knows, let's say he does win the CYGS. That puts him at 21 slams. He'll probably be motivated enough to go for #10 at AO next year putting him at 22. Doubt he'll defend RG as he won't have the same motivation as he did this year. However, I still think he'll do well at Wimbledon next year with little competition on the grass, so that's #23. Players have found it difficult to defend their USO title, so he might not defend that one. So he ends up with 23 slams (or 24 if he wins back to back USOs). And maybe one last title at AO, but I don't see him winning anymore after early 2023. The next gen will have now gained experience in multiple grand slam finals and reach their physical and mental prime/peak while Djokovic will have aged 2 more years and so who knows if he'll have the energy or motivation to win more slams if he's already the clear leader (assuming Nadal doesn't win more than 1-2 slams).
I mean no of slams will stop being a bid deal once he crosses 21 which might happens in New York.Could he? Ok. Then what? He wins 26 slams. Nothing I’m the world changes for anyone buy him and his chasers.
Djokovic could cheat death.
If he wins one more this year and then two per year for five years, he gets 30. And he'll be 39.
I'm not going to say 30 'easily' but it's very possible.
