I'm so happy it's very likely that I'll be wrong. 
Ajde, Nole!

Yeah people always bring up well djokovic won 16 slams in 12.5 years he’ll never win 5-6 more in 3-4 years. But he has won 15 since 2011 which is 15 in 8 years with him going awol for 2 of them.
If he keeps up his level for even 2 more years I think he’ll finish on 22/23

Do you believe that Mickey D's would sponsor him at that point?

It's only been a year and he's already surpassed my vote (15).
Can't say I ever imagined another 2011/2015-esque streak from him at this age.

With his mug draws that he's consistently getting all the way to the finals, Djokovic can blow past the 20 Slam mark. It will probably happen in 2021. He's the favourite for US Open and Australia, isn't likely to win French with Thiem and Nadal there, but a likely favourite for Wimbledon and US Open next year if he's staying in the same form he's currently in. So probably in AO 2021 he will have his chance to pass Federer. But that's quite a long way away still. And there's also the possibility that Andy Murray could return to his best by next season while Zverev, Tsitsipas, Thiem etc could finally make a significant step forward to being bigger factors in the Slams and if Del Potro recovers fully and Stan starts getting his mojo back and making deep runs. I don't think I can see Djokovic beating guys like Wawrinka and Del Potro back to back on hards or Thiem and Nadal back to back on clay or Murray and Federer back to back on grass, etc. It might take more mental strength than his otherworldly level of belief can handle. LOL

Are you ready to bring it up again?That's why I am saying you are on a high.
I will bring this one up again some time in the future and maybe you'll realise when you come down from the high.

Damn good prediction. What would you say about his chances for next 4 slams?

Wins at least 1 HC and likely Wimbledon. RG unlikely but he has a chance there.
By end of 2020 should be on 18-19 slams at least unless someone steps up to beat him.

That's 10-11 more Slams. LOL
I don't think so. Even his god-level motivation won't carry him that far. He's going to lose a lot, mentally and physically, as he gets towards the 20 mark. Being realistic, there are quite a few Slams he should've lost and was lucky to scrape through. USO 2011, AO 2012, Wimby 2018, Wimby 2019, etc. And many other Slams where he was in 5 set wars and barely managed to scrape through including Wimby 2015 against Anderson. Not going to get easier for him as he ages.

I dont think he'll win 10 more, either. Every single one is a bonus, if he brakes the record evrn better...
However, you can't count every 5 setter as a match hecshould have lost. He lost quite a few that he should have won, so the story equalizes at the end.

Yes. 2021 not so impossible.
I'd bet an even grand Nadal doesn't win any more USOs.

In Slams Djokovic is dominating Tennis. Since RG18 he has won 5/7 Slams which is as good as his 2015-16 run. Unbelievable really that he has replicated his best Slam streak at this age. May even get better.
Well he certainly has exceeded my or anyone else' expectations. In 2014 when he had 7 Slams i thought he would end up with 11-12. I could not see 2015-16 coming. Then he suddenly jumped to 12 in short period and slumped for two years. I thought his days of domination are over. Again he came back to win his 13th Slam in Wimbledon 18, then i expected him to win 3 more - no domination but picking here and there. Then again he surprised winning 4 out next 6 Slams takin total to 17. With him nearing 33 and bunch of young players improving fast I predict a small window left for him to win Slams. May be year or two. Physically he looks fine enough to play at least for couple of more years. So my prediction is 19 (Min) - 22 (Max).

Rookie
10 Australian Opens
1 French Open
8 Wimbledons'
4 U.S Opens
23 slams. Or only 9 Australian Opens for 22. Wimbledon I see being his most dominant and successful slam in the coming years since the field there is garbage, nobody is good on grass anymore. Nadal is past his prime on grass more than any other surface, and Thiem and the younger players all suck on it. Even if the young players truly take over they will probably all suck at Wimbledon. Wawrinka always sucked on it even in his prime, and Murray who is one of the few true good grass players of this era is finished as a real contender. That leaves Federer as his only competition and Djokovic has the big mental and age edge in that match up and will probably continue winning any of their big matches. And nearing 40 it is questionable how long Federer can even keep reaching Djokovic in the semis or finals of Wimbledon.

Technically his best slam streak was 4/4 and/or 5/6. Good chance he could've made it 6/7 if his shoulder wasn't hurt in NY.
So he's nearly replicated it, but not quite.

Losing in four sets doesn't indicate that you should have won it lol.
Then a lot of opponents at RG against Nadal in a final should have won it lmao.
Definitely all his finals against Wawrinka and Murray are finals he should have won, given the fact that he's much better than them.

I wouldn't. He seems to have the same great karma there the way he has bad karma in Australia. I think he wins 1 more there at some point somehow.

I think it is going to be a much higher number than many are predicting/hoping. More than I want honestly, as I am not a big Novak fan and prefer both Nadal and Federer. Some are thinking with their hearts rather than their brains, although honestly any tennis prediction these days is hard. Who predicted Na Li to win 2 slams, Kenin to win a slam, Federer to win 3 more slams after 2016, Djokovic to go 2 years without a slam after RG 2016, Nadal to have a major resurgence with 5 more (and counting) slams and two more YE#1s after 2016, Nadal to have said resurgence but suddenly start getting owned by late 30s Federer for the first time ever off clay.

I think he may have 1 AO in him if draw works favorably like 2020. Definitely 1 wimbledon since his serve has improved tremendously along with matured grass game. I say anything above 18 is a bonus. But 18 seems realistic
Ive got Nadal winning two more FOs and a USO. So Nadal on 22.
Djokovic will aim for 10 AOs no question and i think will get it. I also think he will target Federer 8 wimbledons as on grass he seems almost unbeatable.
Ive got Djokovic on 22. So my prediction is Nadal 22 Djokovic 22 Federer 20.
Nadal and Djokovic past 2 Majors have shut down Next Gen. That makes it harder for them to break through.
