Final slam tally : Nadal 26, Fed 21, Djoker 18

In 2016 I considered Djokovic had amazing opportunity to become goat. All he had to do was win next 3 slams after he won FO. Had he done that he would have;

- won 1st modern era calendar slam (male) on 3 surfaces
- 1st player ever, man or woman, to win 7 slams in a row.
- become goat of AO with 7 titles (he's done that now)

Too bad for him that was the moment he fell off a cliff (by his standards) & didn't win a slam for 2 yrs. Timing is everything in tennis.

And everyone thought Nadal is done long time before. But now all TTW forum think Nadal ir gonna dominate and Djokovic is done :))) Its just absurd, champions like Novak will come back. Djokovic actually showed what is true dominance in 2016 before injuries stopped him and he will have most slams, only injuries again can stop him.
 
Nadal will win 3 more FO, 2 more USO, 1 more Wimbledon and 1 more AO

Fed will win a miracle 9th Wimbledon beating Djoker in 2020 final 63 64 64 (he should retire on the spot, prob won’t)

Djoker will win 1 more AO and 1 more USO

Djoker will struggle most v new gen types eg Tsitsipas (will win about 8 slams himself)

Great troll post! Novak the 5 time Wimbledon champion and winner the last 2 years running wont win another Wimbledon but Nadal who hasn’t won it for 10 years will win another one
 
More like wishfullistically. What if Nole hasn't won a Slam since age 36 and still hasn't surpassed Nadal's Slam tally? Will he keep playing till he is 86 years old despite not winning any more Slams after age 36? Will he keep playing 50 years without winning a Slam?

Djokovic will win 3 or more slams per year. Nadal is winning two or three more in his career. Fder is winning nada.

I can see a few of them flying now. Crazy how this prediction came to be a reality, as Djokovic would indeed have MULTIPLE 3 slam winning seasons after that post was made. Nadal did win three more as it stands, and Federer remained on 20.
 
Rafans kept writing checks his body won't be able to cash. You can't be super confident knowing Rafa's body is a toast. The commies kept saying it for a decade but the only replies we saw was look at 2013, what a comeback. Well it's more than 10 years now.


When you kept saying Novak will win nothing or barely something, it already showed your desperation as Novak was winning a lot in 2019. Since Wimbledon 2018, won 4 out of 5 till Wimbledon 2019. And was injured in USO 2019 or who knows.

So please stop lying..
 
Listen, 3 FO on its own is pushing it, but I could accept that as a legitimate prediction. 7 slams is nothing short of ludicrous.

A handful of FO and maybe 1 slam outside RG, that's a prediction. This is a pipe dream. On top of that, you have Fed beating Djokovic in single-break straight sets in a Wimbledon final - where Djokovic has beaten Fed 3-0 to date, with 3 of the last 5 sets they played at Wimbledon being tiebreaks. Not as bad of a pipe dream, but seems optimistic at least.

Then you have Djokovic winning only 2 more slams, which is entirely within the realm of possibility. No flights of fancy for our resident Serb?

Then you predict Tsitsipas will become an ATG with very little evidence. Come on, man. If Tsitsipas is going to become an ATG, he'll need to be able to beat a 34+ year old Rafa at slams, let alone let him win 7 more.
There are bad elements of the society who kept wishing harm on Nole. And it was only for Nole. Rafans and fedfans joined forces post 2018 just like they did post 2010. Because they knew the tide was shifting.


Now this particular guy seems like a troll. But who knows about that. What we saw in reality was the straight set win Nole put on him as early as ATP cup 2020. And the calendar slam prediction was taken away by Thiem in AO qf. Even if he had beaten Thiem, he won't have a prayer vs Nole who just pasted him in ATP cup finals. It had been already 9 straight set losses vs Nole and coincidentally after that loss they never even met outside clay. 4 matches played on clay though.

Crazy things indeed have happened that blocked Novak from winning more. Yet, i don't think that prediction was crazy, the level was there, he was the most complete player and still refining his game.

Best thing going in his favor. Winner at all surfaces and Nadal winner at RG. It's always been the difference maker.
 
I remember these times when Fedal fans said Djokovic would struggle with the next generations of players. Apparently the likes of meddy/Zverev/Tsitsipas would be too much for him.

Now they did a complete 180 on that score. Write off Djokovic at your peril folks!

Now that he has been fighting back against those younger player, all of a sudden the titles are inflated...

Dubious '22 AO was the only non-clay slam Nadal won in new decade.

Djoker lost Wimbledon in straights. You must think he was the new Sebastien Grosjean, who lost '04 WB SF to Federer in straights.

20 nole won one but W did not hold and he was DQ at USO
21 nole won 3
22 nole was baned from AO and USO and won 1, rafa won a very * AO
23 nole won 3

Tsitsipas is the real deal. I saw him court side in Sydney in January and chatted with him and some coaches during the week - I have his autograph and pics/videos I can post. Right then I predicted he’d beat Federer at AO If they met before the final. He’s the modern Borg. I predicted big slam totals for Sampras and Nadal before they won one, and Tsitsipas is the next big champ. Forget about Medvedev/Kyrgios.
Tsitsipas as "the next big champ" did not age well.

Ahh, back when there was belief on the next gen.

It’s hilarious to see all the u turns many Fedal fans have did on the next gen since then.
Well, some slack needs to be cut. I think many of them showed fairly good promise. Who would guess Tsitsipas would actually walk backwards with his BH and ROS? Not to mention the spoiled kid, phony philosopher wannabe attitude. Works for most of them.
 
The post was pretty delusional. Putting myself back in end of 2019 mode, and Djokovic had just won 4 of the prior 7 slams yet this guy predicts 7 slams to 2 in favour of Rafa. Rafa has never dominated like that and there was nothing to indicate anything of the sort. You could say maybe 5 to 4 or 3 or something but Novak was the only one with the potential of that type of dominance (beating Rafa at RG is a MASSIVE swing and an easy way for Novak to make up 3-4 slams in 5-6 slams played). I guess he got drunk off those 2 USOs back then.
 
Funny another thread bump let's guess who? Let's Bump another thread on how Nadal was essentially faking his injuries and was coming back just in time for the 2023 Clay season. The same poster kept repeating the same nonsense despite the NY Times reporting he was likely out for the remainder season. Talk about both shooting yourself in the foot and having egg in your face. :rolleyes:
 
It's not even the Rafa 26 slams prediction.

Tsitsipas would have Djokovic's number and win 8 slams? Is that guy gonna win even a single slam? Is he even gonna beat Djokovic again lmfaoo
 
We will throw stone. We have the entire history of tennis along our side. What do you have.
Your history is hollow because numbers alone have no meaning without context. Don't judge a book by it's cover.
The more context provided, the greater discernment
 
Numbers are the truth. Your eye test game fell flat by mid 2010s. No one will care about eye test now. Roger had rabbid fans when he was playing but he quit. Only numbers matter and the rabbid fans your peers mellowed down or quit.

No it's not. Numbers alone is not enough to form an accurate/reasonable judgment or decision. If data without knowledge, discussion/debate doesn't even exist. Context is important, it enable us to make sense of judgement.

Without context, it's like saying Rosewall has 23 majors, so he's a better player and more accomplished than Laver. Or Russel is vastly superior basketball player than Wilt simply because he has 11 rings. Of course, no serious fans(except fanboys like you) agree with this
 
I see a certain Federer cheerleader crying because he--in no measurable--way is a GOAT in anything. He never had the ability to win the GOAT-defining Grand Slam, so he's forever in the "Best of the Rest" category, only he's not at the top of that list, either, because other players--male and female--have more majors than he does. Oh, I know...I know a certain TTW member is still locked in a combination of wild anger and pants-soaking heartache because the propped-up, laughable myth of Federer being a GOAT never met the historically recognized criteria, and now, this certain Federer cheerleader soils yet another thread with:

"Federer am GOAT. HE be am like Jordan. Nevermind My Dearest Love Federer not havings the most am slams and Jordans no having the mostest NBA championships! Believe in advertised hype! CAPICHE?"

"Djokovic am be vulture of titles.."

"career inflation! I dont care if no one officially recognizes it!!! It am must beee used against Joker to prop up Federer!! WAAAHHH!!"

Rinse and repeat the obsessed fan BS.
