Nadal will rack up points at american hard courts and on clay. Nadal though will i think hardly play after Uso anymore so he is relying on 2/3rds of season to be no.1. If Djokovic is fit and plays a full schedule then Djokovic looks like he will be no.1 for a while as he is top 3 in all conditions anywhere.Have to think Nole is getting this. He’s threatened by many at slams but I don’t see any other player with the consistency needed to be #1. At least for a while.
Waiting for Feds LC points to get him back.Is this an inevitable march?

Don't forget Match for Africa coming up against Rafa. Should be 1500 points.ATP has decided to award 2000 points for every victory during the Federer-Zverev exhibition season

Time for the Rolex Media to spin new ways of keeping the GOAT myth going...Djokovic is closing in on all Fed records.
Nadal never backs up his big years and no one else has a shot. Nole will crush this record
Keep blaming Nadal I'll blame Hewitt Roddick and Baghdatis thenNovak was a lock for this when he won Wimb 2018 SF against Nadal. Why are we talking still about this ?
237 consecutive weeks to start, then he was #2/3 for like 99% of the following 12 years LOL.Just GOAT stuff. All those hewitt-roddick-baghdatis competition number 1 weeks are fading away quickly.
Ironically it'll be right around Laver Cup if he holds on to it.On which date will he surpass Federer this year?
Keep blaming Nadal I'll blame Hewitt Roddick and Baghdatis then
All three Big 3 are in action that weekend at 500s. Novak and Roger at Dubai, Rafa at Acapulco. Novak is defending 0 points, Rafa 45, and Roger 500.Would Nadal be #1 again if he wins Acapulco?

Nadal is Djokovic's age LOLThere will always be Novak won most of his majors when Federer and Nadal got old story
Fed took it from Roddick LOLThe LOL is the one who lost the No 1 to freakin Murray and 36 year fed
Djokovic can't be the GOAT.I don't see how he can't be GOAT regardless of no. of slams?
Nadal is Djokovic's age LOL
Fed took it from Roddick LOL
Fed didn’t lose to Roddick
And Nadal won like 9 majors before Djoker got his second . Nadal has overlap with Fed more than Djoker
Because it's importantNovak was a lock for this when he won Wimb 2018 SF against Nadal. Why are we talking still about this ?
Federer is properly fukced. His both greatest records (Slams and Weeks) could get broken this year or next. Djokovic could break Weeks record while both Nadovic are in striking distance to break Slam record. Unless Tennis gods pull some miracle, Federer' legacy is in big danger. At this moment it looks certain Weeks record will fall this season.

LMAO nothing compared the career inflation years filled with mug slams on slow ass courts.Just GOAT stuff. All those hewitt-roddick-baghdatis competition number 1 weeks are fading away quickly.
One thing is certain, neither Nadal or Djokovic are the GOAT nor will ever be based on inflating stats in 30s.When it's all said and done--the big three retiring, Fed will have no major records left. Can he still be considered GOAT? Though Fed has one ace up the sleeve. He can try to break Connors career singles titles record by poaching challenger and futures titles.
Ned isn't defending a whole lot of points starting from here to Rome. Provided he stays healthy (which is a big if lol) I can see him grabbing back the top spot. Then again, Djokovic also has even less points to defend up to Madrid.

@Raphael NadalRafael Nadal.
As Federer fans we must be fair. We cannot say "Djokovic and Nadal will never win anything when they are over 30 because that’s way too difficult" at first, and then if they indeed win downplay their achievements. Either it is a great and difficult achievement or not. There is no such thing as "inflation". Either a player has great domination AND longevity or not. All Slam titles are equally legitimate, since they all mean that there was no better tennis players in the world for that 2 weeks.One thing is certain, neither Nadal or Djokovic are the GOAT nor will ever be based on inflating stats in 30s.
Nadal is clay GOAT that’s about it. Djokovic slow court GOAT.
