Who cares about pre modern era?Do you think he can do 2 calendar year slams to tie Laver?

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.
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)
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?
All he had to do....All he had to do was win next 3 slams after he won FO.
Nadal will win 3 more FO, 2 more USO, 1 more Wimbledon and 1 more AO
Seems very short changing of what that year was
Djokovic will win 3 or more slams per year. Nadal is winning two or three more in his career. Fder is winning nada.
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.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.
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.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.
Best thing going in his favor. Winner at all surfaces and Nadal winner at RG. It's always been the difference maker.Crazy things indeed have happened that blocked Novak from winning more.

YesI 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!

I agree. Hypocrisy at its finest.Now that he has been fighting back against those younger player, all of a sudden the titles are inflated...
That's all there is left now.I agree. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Dubious '22 AO was the only non-clay slam Nadal won in new decade.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 struggle most v new gen types eg Tsitsipas (will win about 8 slams himself)
20 nole won one but W did not hold and he was DQ at USOI 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.
Tsitsipas as "the next big champ" did not age well.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.
Djokovic completely crushed the poor guy. Federer too. Tsits in the end was more competitive vs Nadal than others. Ironic.Tsitsipas as "the next big champ" did not age well.
Heh....never had a chance of happening.Fed 23
Ahh, back when there was belief on the next gen.Nadal will win 3 more FO, 2 more USO, 1 more Wimbledon and 1 more AO

What next gen. Fed was playing with inferior group himself.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.Ahh, back when there was belief on the next gen.
This is when the OP revealed that it was a troll post.new gen types eg Tsitsipas (will win about 8 slams himself)
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.It’s hilarious to see all the u turns many Fedal fans have did on the next gen since then.
The thread didn't require any necroposting especially with the 26 Slam prediction. However, this poster possibly hit the nail in the head with this prediction.Nadal has a small chance to match the 22 Majors of Steffi Graf.
That would be his limit.

Wow quoting a 4 year post on an anonymous forum.Heh....never had a chance of happening.
Good god what in the world is this?Nadal will win 3 more FO, 2 more USO, 1 more Wimbledon and 1 more AO

They are hopeless. Fans were patient but finally gave up on the 90s born players.Ahh, back when there was belief on the next gen.
Right, but Fed was already too late to vulture many slams in the the career inflation era since he's 6 years older. Djokovic inflated a whopping 12 slamsWhat next gen. Fed was playing with inferior group himself.
He’s arguably the worst Federer fan and one of the worst TTW fans on here. All he does is praise Federer, defend him constantly and tear strips out of Djokovic and Nadal.You are ridiculous troll pathetic polluting ttw for years. Djokovic did better than your Federer. Now keep polluting

Your history is hollow because numbers alone have no meaning without context. Don't judge a book by it's cover.We will throw stone. We have the entire history of tennis along our side. What do you have.
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.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.
