Djokovic will never catch Nadal for Slam titles

The reason? Nadal is guaranteed to win a Slam per year however long he choses to play for. Oh, so you think because Djokovic beat him at the French Open once that it will ever happen again? History has told us that Nadal is unbeatable at the French Open. I honestly predict another 14 French Open's for Nadal, bringing him to a total of 27 French Open's and a total Slam count of 40 (throwing in some non-clay Slams as well). Djokovic has no chance to catch that because although he's quite good at the Australian Open, he is not absolutely dominant to the extent of being guaranteed the title like Nadal is at the French Open.

Those days are over, now Djokovic has broken Nadal at the French open too and Nadal's superhuman stamina on clay is all over, he will turn 36 next year.

Even Stefanos had the strength to push Nadal to 5 sets if Nadal had reached the final, those days of cruising without dropping a set are all over now.

2021 was the beginning of the end for Nadal.

Djokovic is still playing quite good and hasn't declined a lot, similar to how Federer was 5-6 years back when he used to put up superhuman performances.

Djokovic will be breaking all the records and Nadal is FINISHED.

Younger players still can't stop the big 3. Dominic Thiem was a fluke due to Djokovic getting defaulted. Expect both to win more. Hell people ain't even counting out old man Fed for Wimbeldon lmao. GOAT discussion never been more exciting!!

I think Nadal could probably still be one of the top 3 favourites at RG right into his 40s tbh, after this year it doesn't feel like the guarantee it once was though...

He's too close now. I don't see how he doesn't catch him with W, USO and AO coming. He's most likely grabbing at least 1 of those and good chance for more.

Nadal can probably win one or even two more RGs. Bad news for him is it gets much harder from here, as not only Djokovic, but Tsitsipas too, have played better claycourt tennis than him this year, RG included.

His stamina is already very questionable, and he'll be 36 next year.

We should never doubt a champion, as history has thought us, so lets just wait and see.

Djokovic is likely to win 2 out of the next 3 slams before the next RG, so he's looking good to eclipse Nadal and go to 21 Grand Slams. For Nadal, we'll have to see next year because Tsitsipas is improving every year, Thiem might get his mojo back, and Djokovic will still be there to challenge him hopefully.

Who knows. Another 14 i think unrealistic. Knowing Nadal though he will go through pain barrier to get his RG crown back and win another Major or 2 off clay.
So will federer. The mentally strongest will win slam race.
