How many slams will Nadal have by the time Djokovic reaches 20 (if Djokovic reaches 20)?

[Deleted member 770948]

If Nadal wins the 2021 AO - which he very well could because he's reached the Final FIVE times and been up a break in the 5th Set twice - it could very well prevent Djokovic from even reaching 18 until 2022!

We'll know a lot after 2021 AO, because we'll see if Djokovic can still win his favorite slam.

At 2020 AO, Thiem led Djokovic 2-sets-to-1, so Djokovic has nowhere near the advantage over the field that Nadal has at Roland Garros.

That is the key to his slam race - who can defend their territory - and I think Federer can reclaim Wimbledon based on what we saw last year, and now that Federer has his batteries recharged....

And I'm not going to try and predict how many slams Nadal will win in 2021, because I always underestimate him, he's a contender everywhere whereas a few years ago I thought he couldn't win Wimbledon.

Well once AO is canceled and changed to clay and Rafa wins that and FO he will have two.

Then WC will cancel and we will have another clay slam in place of it. There is 23. Then they will move the FO to replace USO and he will win 24.

You don't know what you're talking about.
There are losers all over this forum obsessing over GOAT, which I never do (because tennis will never have a GOAT, its impossible to prove).
This is purely numerical, nothing to do with fan wars or who is the better player etc.

47 slams.

Will Nadal will 47 slams in his career or more, or not that that many?

I seee my Nadal winning 47 slams. He will plays the next 15 years and win every French Open to give him 17 there. He will 2 out of every 3 Auastralian Open, US Open, and Wimbledons to give him 10 of each. I think that makes 47, yeah 15 + 10+10 +10 =47. So will my Nadal win 47 slams in his...
