30 would be the immediate target.

The weak era has stopped, at least now, what with Carlos and Jannik.Yes, it is true that he is unique in taking advantage of the weak competition of the new generations.
I give him credit for that.
I remind people that Federer's last slam win over Djokovic was in '12, and Nadal's last non-RG slam was in '13. So much for people glorifying competition of the Big3.

Took the big risk, but I don’t think he will stop until 30-30+
A lot of people wrote him off looking bad now

It's pretty strong IMO.
Strong for whom? Certainly not Djokovic who just won 3 freebie slams with about as much resistance as a paper weight.

What were the last five strong slams in your opinion?

OK.
Some say it's easier to climb to the top than to stay there. That's applicable to Raz.
And since '11, Djokovic has been (much more than less) stay at No 1.

Highest ranking for Djokovic was number 1 every year except 2017 where it was number 2. It's much harder to stay at the top every week.

By the end of 2022, the last time Novak seated just at 21 one behind Nadal's record at the time i would have voted for 25-27 option, but now i voted for 28-30 one...this is his true upper limit, imho! If everything goes well next season and he stays healthy it's not hard to imagine yet another 3 slam season in 2024 (maybe not all 4 slam finals though this time) and maybe one, two or even three more beyond 2024! But i can't imagine him winning anything less than 2 slams in 2024 even under the context of Alcaraz improving and Sinner catching up...i still think it will take some time before they can become real roadblocks to grand slam titles for Novak...in my opinion even if he has 2 slam season in 2024 and not a 3 slam one, like i predicted and ends up at 26 in the end of the year he will still manage to at least edge out to 28 until the end of his career! Imho once again - my opinion! Agree to disagree and move on...

Both 25-27 and 28-30 are pretty safe predictions, don't you think so? At least 25-27 one is gotta be, if not 28-30 one (which btw i feel confident in...) At absolutely least there is no way in hell Novak ain't winning just one more grand slam title until the reminder of his career, if anyone think this is going to be the case - this is just laughable at this point! LOL I mean last year i understand how you would think so - but this year you have no excuses to doubt it! LOL

So you are saying you were sad in 2017 bcs Fed has won 3 more Slams ? Although he has won only 1 in 7 years before that.
The only reason Federer has won bunch of Slams is that prime Djokovic wasn't around. So Fed fans should shut it up, they always rooted for mediocre weak era vulture.

If my memory serves me correctly the oldest GS winner ( Ken R ) is about 37 years and 1 month . Novak turns 37 on the 22nd May 2024 so it will be fascinating to see what is to come of this.
It’s very hard ( for me at least ) to compare different times. Todays game looks very fast, brutal and physical compared to the old days and there are players coming up from everywhere on those hard courts and clay courts.
If Novak gets to 25 or 26 you would think that would be it right. Any more would be quite extraordinary, he is giving away almost 20 years of aging between him and a young star and that’s a lot when you need to win 7 in a row to take out a GS title.
While I could be wrong Australia is heading into an El Niño cycle which in Melbourne it means a more hotter weather and maybe more humid and less mild and that will take its toll if you are out there for hours ( remember Murray’s long match against Kokinakis that went 5 hours in mild conditions thus year ) . The last 4 years here has been very mild and manageable;

Djokovic only won 7 Wimbledon titles because he didn't face prime Federer. Otherwise he's a 1-2 title guy.

Same could be said about Federer. If he faced prime peak Sampras on fast grass in the 1990s he would have max 2 Wimbledon. And using this logic, I guess anyone who wins 10 Wimbledon in the future will be asterisked and his record won't be valid because he didn't face peak Federer? Then Wimbledon should be cancelled, there is no point to continue without peak Federer, right?

Prime Federer is mythical being from 2004-2007 that nobody could play from this era.
After that it's not tougher competition, but mono and father time.
Same for Nadal, he is only healthy when he wins and he wins only on clay. You can't compete against those "facts", if you do you are an idiot yourself.
The competition didn't change much in 08 compared to 07, Fed did have mono. 07-13 as a whole was the strongest era of the last two decades, Federer remained ultra competitive up until 2012 where he reached number 1.
