Final slam count of current top 10 (women and men)

[granddog29]

What would your predictions be for the final slam count of the current WTA and ATP top 10. I will bookmark this thread and bring it back in 3 or 4 years time. Here are mine:

Novak Djokovic- 9 majors
Rafael Nadal- 20 majors
Andy Murray- 6 majors
David Ferrer- 0 majors
Tomas Berdych- 0 majors
Roger Federer- 17 majors
Juan Martin Del Potro- 1 major
Juan Wilfried Tsonga- 0 majors
Richard Gasquet- 0 majors
Stanislas Wawrinka- 1 major


Serena Williams- 25 majors
Victoria Azaernka- 6 majors
Maria Sharapova- 4 majors
Agniewska Radwanska- 1 major
Na Li- 2 majors
Sara Errani- LOL
Marion Bartoli- 1 major
Caroline Wozniack- 0 majors
Angelique Kerber- 1 major
Jelena Jankovic- 0 majors

 

[Crose]

I think you're being generous for Rafa and Serena. Just can't see Serena getting 8 more slams, and 7 more for Rafa will be extremely tough.

Djokovic - 10
Nadal - 18
Murray - 5
Ferrer - 0
Berdych - 0
Federer - 17
Del Potro - 2 (I truly believe he's one healthy run away from another slam)
Tsonga - 0
Gasquet - 0
Wawrinka - 0 (kills me to say it, I love his game)

Not gonna do the WTA side, don't watch enough women's tennis to make a good list

 

[granddog29]

Nadal is harder to say but Serena sure as heck can get 8 more slams. She is such an athlete she can easily play another 5 years, especialy if she stays injury free, and other than Azarenka there is practically nobody on the horizon who can even challenge her for the moment.

My thinking on Serena is she either ends up with 19 or 20 majors or 25 and I will explain why. Once she gets to 21 (if she does) she will constantly receive extra incentive and motivation from being just 1 away from something huge. When she is at 21 she will be one major away from tieing Graf, and when she gets to 22 will be one major from passing Graf, when she reaches 23 she will be one major from tieing Court's official all time slam record, and when she reaches 24 she will be one away from breaking it. That extra incentive and tantalizing target so close would ensure she keeps going all the way through that bridge until she gets there. So for Serena it will either be 19 or 20 or 25, nothing in between.

I could see Nadal winning another 3 hard court majors, another 1 or 2 Wimbledons, and other 2 to 4 French Opens.

I have a feeling this will happen at at least one slam in the next few years.

Federer can't wait for that. In a few years he will be 35. He has to get lucky next YEAR, fed's age can't keep up with his tennis. He isn't exactly an agassi so im honestly gonna say 2014 is his last chance for a slam

She might have the incentive to keep going, as you say (the motivation to tie or break the next record)...but actually executing and winning those slams is different. Wanting to and going to are vastly different.

For most people this is true, but not really of Serena. In her case it has always been about motivating herself and how much she wanted it. Desire and commitment have really been her only career rivals. If she wants it bad enough and has enough of a target that close to her, I dont see her not getting it. Add to that the womens field not only now, but what seems to be coming up, isnt strong enough to stop her if she simply wants it enough. JMO.

I'd be surprised if she got through another 4-5 years without at least one injury that takes her out of the game for 6 months+. She's always had a history of it,so why not in her 30s?

Well, I agree and disagree. I agree that she, out of all the women, has the best chance to "will herself" into a win if she wants it badly enough. But don't tell me she didn't want to win that USO final against Stosur, or that she didn't want to smack away Sharapova in that 2004 Wim final. I'm sure she wanted to win those matches as well.

In fact, since Serena HATES to lose...we do know that she wants to win every single match she plays. Well, last I checked, she has over a hundred career losses. And as great as her current "streak" is, she still lost 4 matches this year (I'm sure she wanted to win those too). Choking/mental fragility played a part in Serena's loss to Sabine this year (IMO she got nervous), even though Serena is supposed to be mentally strong. And injury is a part of the game too, so that could cause Serena to lose a match (like versus Sloane this year at AO), if not take her out of the tour for months.

It's not as simple as just Serena wanting to win. She's not above freak losses.

 

[Tenez101]

Sorry, just don't see him getting it together for 7 matches in a row again. 2009 is looking more and more like an anomaly. I'd love to be wrong though.

Of course she cant win every title she wants to. If she could she would just choose to win the next 20 slams and retire with 37. However she doesnt have to win every slam to reach 25. She always has another chance, unless she really fades with age but indications are she is going to age better than anyone in history has. I do think with the target in front of her if she reached 21, the next big target always being one away would ensure she keeps going until she reaches 25. You can disagree, but that is how I feel. I am sure her final slam count will either be 19, 20, or 25 with those the only possabilities, and I will stand by that.

 

[granddog29]

I missed the 'sarcasm' disclaimer.

Well most people in this thread are picking Nadal to win 18 or 19, and Serena over 20 so obviously my choices arent far off the norm. I think believing Nadal wont reach 17 as you stated you feel is more delusional than thinking he will get to 20 at this point. I cant see him not reaching atleast 18. As for Serena, well 25 could end up being way off, as I conceded she could even end up as low as 19 or 20, but anything is possible with the current womens game, even at her age.

Nadal and Serena

Nadal is harder to say but Serena sure as heck can get 8 more slams. She is such an athlete she can easily play another 5 years, especialy if she stays injury free, and other than Azarenka there is practically nobody on the horizon who can even challenge her for the moment.

I could see Nadal winning another 3 hard court majors, another 1 or 2 Wimbledons, and other 2 to 4 French Opens.

Yes - I think 20 is being very generous to Nadal. I think he has his work cut out for him to win 5 more to pass Roger. Just look at it. He has only 1 more slam available for him to win at the age of 27. So even if he wins it - he has 4 more after that. 4 Slams from age 28 onwards - has anyone done it in the open era?

With regard to Serena - I agree there are significant numbers for her coming up.

19 - Means that she would be the top american slam winner

23 - Top open era slam winner

25 - Top tennis history slam winner

She is coming up to 32 years of age in a few weeks. I think on average she will win 1 slam a year for the next 3. I will throw in another for good measure. That is 4 more slams - I think she will finish up around 17 + 4 = 21. So less than Graf but the top American Slam singles winner. I just think that 6 more at her age (to be top open era winner) is asking too much.

Federer won 4 majors starting from the 2009 French a couple months before he turned 25. If Nadal won the Australian, and started his 28+ run of slams by winning the 2014 French it would only be 2 months older than Federer was at the 2009 French. Too small to be anymore than nitpicking.

Yes I think Nadal can easily match or exceed Federers record at that age. When you get older and you lose some of your physical superiority fight becomes most important, and Nadal is easily a greater fighter than Roger has ever been. The up and coming field is also poor, so the field Nadal will be facing is likely much weaker than the one older Federer was facing, Nadal has a greater advantage on clay over the World than Federer has anywhere, and Djokovic and Murray will be almost as old as him. IMO Nadal already went through his big physical decline in 2011, and will pretty much stay where he is now in that regard for several more years anyway; but Djokovic and Murray are due for theirs soon (and in the case of Djokovic it has already started) which is one reason Djokovic especialy is only becoming easier for him at this point.

BTW Agassi won 5 majors aged 29 and older.

Well I'm one of the biggest Serena fans there are, and I would really like to see her get 25. But I don't know about her automatically being a lock for 25 just because she somehow manages to win 21 slams. If she can reach 21 quickly (within the next 1.5 years maybe), then as her game starts to decline (there is that possibly, as tennis can be unpredictable), she will have some "time" to slowly eke out one more, then one more, then one more etc. If it takes her like 3 years to get to 21...then forget it (most likely). She may always have that next target, but eventually she will likely sputter out and run out of time. For example, she may get to 22...then 23...then *sputter*.

Well if she gets to 23 she is the GOAT anyway. Nobody considers offical record holder Court as anything in the GOAT debate for women. Graf has other stats over Serena but when you throw in the stigma of the Seles stabbing, and Serenas longevity which is already by far the best in history, and her peak level play and overall game which all experts agree is superior to any women, she would easily overcome any case Graf has against her with more slams.

Thanks - forgot about Agassi's late run. With regard to Serena - she is 32 not 29. So it is only going to get harder for her. I reckon she has around 4 more in her.

People who think Nadal will end at 17 or less also tend to think Federer is not done with the slams...

Are these two things related? or that is how you identify the Fed'turds...lol

Novak Djokovic- 9
Rafael Nadal- 16
Andy Murray- 5
David Ferrer- 0
Tomas Berdych- 0
Roger Federer- 18
Juan Martin Del Potro- 2
Juan Wilfried Tsonga- 0
Richard Gasquet- 0
Stanislas Wawrinka- 0

This looks fair and balanced. I would give one of Murray's Slam wins to Djokovic, though so Novak 10 Murray 4.

Much like Serena, If Nadal gets to close to the slam record, his sheer will and determination is going to put him over the top to take it.

So in that respect Serena and Nadal will probably both break the record. Once again, barring serious injuries

That's what I think too. That's why I didn't put any number for Nadal. IMHO if he's healthy he'll end his career with 1 or 2 more than Federer. Nadal is humble but he knows how close he is to setting a new record.

Novak Djokovic- 11 majors
Rafael Nadal- 16 majors
Andy Murray- 8 majors
David Ferrer- 0 majors
Tomas Berdych- 0 majors
Roger Federer- 18 majors
Juan Martin Del Potro- 2 majors
Juan Wilfried Tsonga- 1 major
Richard Gasquet- 0 majors
Stanislas Wawrinka- 1 major

perhaps optimistic in some regards, but I think:
-Fed gets it back together for a last run (a la Sampras) (Wimbledon, probably)
-Nadal has maybe 2 full years left (2 French and maybe 1 other, an AO if I had to guess)
-Djokovic and Murray are the major rivals for the next 4-5 years splitting most majors and alternating 1-2 with Djokovic getting closer to 2011 form and Lendl now pushing Murray beyond simply getting a slam but winning consistently and challenging for #1 (one guy gets 1, the other gets two, one of the guys below gets one)
-Del Potro, Tsonga, and Wawrinka all make a run at some point post-Federer and Nadal (especially DelPo, the dude is still young!) I would especially put money on the first two if the US open speeds up slightly in reaction to recent years.
-Ferrer and Berdych could definitely make a run, but it would take some luck. Ferrer would need 1-2 top guys to get upset at the French, and Berdych would need to put on a Soderling/DelPo-esque run at a fast event painting lines with groundies (Wimby or US)

note: I still think Isner makes a run at some point, especially with his improved fitness recently. (though this could be wishful thinking)

addendum: I don't much care about the women's top ten, though I think Serena has Evert/Nav/Graf in her sights.

That would be 4 future slams for Djokovic and 2 for Murray. I think Murray is more likely to win more future slams than Djokovic though. Murray has a way better chance at Wimbledon than Djokovic. At the two hard court slams I would give them about equal chances in the future. Djokovic has more chance at RG, but with Nadal around he will be lucky to even win there once.
