Djokovic is now same age as Nadal

[uncooling]

He just turned 26 and Nadal is still 26 until June.

So they're the same age for a few weeks and there's been people who think Djokovic will have more GS than Federer.

There are also people who think Djokovic will play another 8 years and Nadal will retire in 3 years.

How many titles Nadal has won when he was 25? how many GS?

What about Roger?

Now that's called a class difference!

 

[RF20Lennon]

I think Fed had 12 slams when he was 26.

 

[RidAH]

I'm sure everyone who overlooks the fact that Roger's 5-6 years older, have yet to hit 30 themselves. There IS a massive difference to mid-20's.

 

[NatF]

I think Fed had 12 slams when he was 26.

Federer won 11 of those in 4 years, half the time it's taken for Nadal to do the same...

 

[El Diablo]

There are some who might actually say Nadal is about a year older than Djokovic.

 

[Lukhas]

Age isn't the lone problem. Touring years and peak years are too. Nadal peaked very young, stormed in the Tour very quickly. While Djokovic, despite 2008's AO, wasn't that strong enough yet. Now Nadal plays less good (which is more than enough it seems) while Djokovic seems to enter his peak.

"Djokovic is now same age as Nadal".

Djokovic is ageing faster than everybody else. In a few years time he'll be older than Fed!

lol, come on now, we've been hearing that since 2011, how long does it take to enter his peak?
i say he's at his peak right now.

4 years 10 months + a couple of hours older than Nadal...

 

[ductrung3993]

What an insightful thread, I'd never know!

 

[tennis_pro]

4 years 10 months + a couple of hours older than Nadal...

Well, 5-6 years older than Nadal and Djokovic respectively.

 

[sureshs]

If Djokovic runs faster than Nadal, he will be younger.

 

[Mainad]

He just turned 26 and Nadal is still 26 until June.

They will be the same age for the first week of RG but by the time they play the final, they will be a year apart! :wink:

 

[Goosehead]

djokovic is the same age as nadal..for 12 days :neutral:

until as if by magic..nadal becomes a year older than djokovic again :shock::shock:

...whhhooooo0o0o0o0o0ooo00000o0o0oo000. :neutral:....(((((((((( S p o o k y ))))))))))))

Lol nice way to put it.

 

[ledwix]

If Djokovic runs faster than Nadal, he will be younger.

Yeah, maybe if he runs at ~1.5*10^8 m/s faster!

 

[sureshs]

Yeah, maybe if he runs at ~1.5*10^8 m/s faster!

You got it baby

 

[uncooling]

seriously, Djokovic already passed his peak which was 2011. Look at his performance in the last 5 tournaments.

He's also not young anymore, same age as Nadal, so there's no reason why we can expect him to have a better career than Nadal/Federer

 

[uncooling]

They will be the same age for the first week of RG but by the time they play the final, they will be a year apart! :wink:

that's a HUGE IF Novak can play a final

He can be stunned by baby Federer/Berdych

How many titles Nadal has won when he was 25? how many GS?

Yes. And they have also a gluten-rich diet, which is a testament to their intestinal fortitude.

Talking about a gluten-rich diet, I think Nadal gave Fed recently a nice breadstick which he dutifully ate without complaining too much.

Hey, TLW, did you hear about Cvac putting out a book about his phony gluten-free diet?

:lol:

That's hilarious. LOL. It is not a real book, correct? If it is, he's crazy to do that. Imagine if it falls on Nadal's hands.

It's real as far as I know. He's got to be kidding me with this pathetic book. I hope it bombs and winds up in the half off bins at the Dollar Store. Lol.

Could it be part on a multi-volume series? Next could be "Hypobaric Egg Chambers for Dummies".

 

[ricki]

Federer won 11 of those in 4 years, half the time it's taken for Nadal to do the same...

but Federer played all those lamers as Hewitt, Roddick and boms line Gonzales, Rios...

 

[jg153040]

Old Federer making a final on slow clay today without dropping a set is an amazing achievement by any standards.

 

[BeGreat]

Sampras-Federer-Nadal is an anomaly.

No way Djokovic will get more than 10 slams, if that.

After Djokovic-Nadal, who's there? No one seems to be rising to the ranks of winning slams.

When Djokovic/Nadal retire in about 5-7 years, tennis will be dead.

Yes, I am sure Nadal's book "How to PED yourself to victory in 7 month." will be much more successful.

 

[Feddy Kruegerer]

Don't be a goofball. If he just came from serving a silent ban, how would you expect him to come back juiced? That defies logic.
