Another one or two, only Djokovic can beat him at the French Open still and that only happens when Rafa isn't fit enough, he beat Djokovic comfortably enough this year to suggest he has another few in him.

So epicccc
 
One French and maybe he can steal one more Wimbledon. No more hardcourt slams. It can’t be ignored damn near every tournament he steps on the court it’s an injury

Novak is not at the top now. And it will be a slow gradual decline from here on out. Sorry dude. :sneaky:
The last match he played was final of the Wimbledon... An he won. His last lost match was against clay king, on clay...
Novak IS top dog in tennis world, till proven otherwise. Off course, you can still blindly go with politically massacred rang list.

Now ranked # 7 he won't have the luxury of having cushy draws anymore. So now he'll actually have to play a little bit to get to a final. So yeah.... he's done. ;)

One can very well reach top 4 by playing other events. Paris masters and ATP finals can be good to improve some rankings.

0-2.

At this age his fitness and injuries is the biggest concern for me and it takes longer and longer to find his form. Every slam now is incredible and special. Realistically, I think it's something like:

0 - 50% chance
1 - 45% chance
2 - 5% chance

One more either in 2023 and 2024 - if he doesn't retire before then.

This is a tough one to call. Every year the last 3 uso winners have made it look like change is happening, but once the big 2 get on the slam stage, it's the same old slam wins for them . Nadal and especially Djokovic could both manage their schedules for the next few years to target slams. Djokovic has shown no signs of injuries like fed or rafa, while rafa is getting limited.

Nadal 0-3 overall not just rg, and Djokovic 0-5 (0 to account for unexpected events like injuries and sudden next gen surge - already regressed due to zverev injury and serve woes).
 
With Fed retiring, the era of the Big3 is now definitely coming to a close. With that being said, how many RG's do you think Rafa has left in him before he hangs up the Aero??
If he is fit good chance he wins FO2023 at least think he will win another W as well. And with Nadal you know he is that laser focused somehow he will find a way to break Courts record. I thought he was done but saw his meeting with the King of Spain yesterday getting an award and he plans on playing a few more years. He wants 25 Majors.

what a ****ing clown. He's only 7 because of all the artificial points dropped this year. He'll be back on top again next year. Braindead novak hater.

I think Nadal will be twice as good at next year's RG when compared to this year's RG, because since winning RG he's had treatment on his foot which improved his footspeed, plus one would assume he won't break a rib next year and miss 6 weeks :cool:
So there is no limit to how many RG he has left.
He's got other body parts breaking down. :rolleyes:

Who knows? I think it could be anything from 0 to 3. There's also the 2024 Paris Olympics at Roland Garros.

One at most. It’s not so much a function of Rafa, but rather the mental ineptitude of the nexgen. Rafa could be hobbled, sick or both and if he’s facing Tsitsipas or Zverev, those guys will probably find a way to lose.

Could be 0, 1 or even 2, however, i think it very possible if he doesn't win in 2023 then i think there is a very real chance he may nor win another.
