1 more WB and 1 more USO.I would be surprised if he wins more than 1 title at each of these 2 slams.

I'm surprised that you're still not surprised
I said 22 minimum 25 maximum. He will get atleast 16 slams to play and he can easily win half of it if he kepes the same level which I think he will . Why you think Djokovic won't play at very high level when all players are playing in their 30s?
Nadal is done something we can all agree upon
22 minimum? This poster will disappear soon enough when this unrealistic expectation seems far out of reach. Ah, newbie fans watching tennis for 3 years. 22 minimum—lol.

You realise he has won last 3 slams and he has won mon in his 30s than Fed has. He hit peak in 2011 and since then he is on tear . You are too dishonest if you're including 2008 aswell. He 4wimbledon , 3 us open and 1 rg since 2011. That's 7 and half year.
Other than the guys who are, of course. He's probably the least vulnerable at the slams outside RG though.He done because Djokovic owns him and noone is beating Djokovic. He's still playing at high level tennis though.
Come on my ignore.I don't think it's dishonest to count 2008 to 2010: 1W, 1F, 4SF, 4 QF and a 2nd round exit to Safin, it's not like he wasn't playing at all or playing badly. I could have started with his 2007 USO finalist run. At Wimb 07, he was in SF, he was even winning against Nadal even though he was injured, so yes, he was already contending at slams at that time, because he was already good before 2011, you should know it.
But it also shows sometimes you are a contender but there are other contenders that stop you, because they were better on the day or on the season, it happened then, could happen again.
I like Djokovic, i think he'll win more slams but like Sabratha, i'm more realistic about his chances than you are. 32 isn't the best age to win 7 to 10 slams. Laver won his GS at 32 and then, stopped winning slams, so even if Djokovic wins RG, he's not poised to win everything else after. You should know it too, especially after 2016-2017 happened.
Easily win half? Are you being serious? Between 2011 and 2016 he played 24 slams. He won 11 of them. That was his most dominant period and he didn't even win half of the slams he played then. It is insanely hard to keep up a high enough level to win half of the slams participated in for 4 years straight. In fact I believe only Federer has pulled it off during 2004-2007.I said 22minimum 25 maximum. He will get atleast 16 slams to play and he can easily win half of it if he kepes the same level which I think he will . Why you think Djokovic won't play at very high level when all players are playing in their 30s?

Celiac Yearns for Gluten Spree?Nadal will win only if Djokovic is out of pic so he's almost done. Cygs incoming
The 2 year slump is pretty much irrelevant for his most dominant 4 year period. That's why I ignored it.How easily you ignored some of the most important factor like Murray ,Wawa and even Nadal is not as good as 2013. Also, you ignored 2 years of slump due to injury and personal issues. He won last 3 slams and if he continues this form he will easily win 8 out of 16 .
I don't like dishonestySome people don't like when they are reminded with reality. Funny considering your signature.
Let's see. I don't see anyone stopping him when he's in this form and fully motivated. He need just 2 years of 3 slams a year out of 5 to get 21 and that's not difficult you know.The 2 year slump is pretty much irrelevant for his most dominant 4 year period. That's why I ignored it.
He has NEVER continued to keep up his form for 4 years straight. Why do you believe he will in his 30s? He has won the last 3 slams before. And he didn't keep up his form then. Why would he now?
He might do it, who knows, but it certainly wont be easily.
Who will stop him?he doesn't have 2 masters to stop him like Fed had1 more of each max. Actually definitely 1. Maybe 2 at Wimbledon.
I'll ask again. Why do you think he will keep this form for such a long period when he hasn't been able to in the past?Let's see. I don't see anyone stopping him when he's in this form and fully motivated. He need just 2 years of 3 slams a year out of 5 to get 21 and that's not difficult you know.
When all 30+ players are playing at high level tennis now, why do you think Djokovic won't ? He just need 2 years of 3 plus slam out of 5 years window and that is not tough even if he has slump /injury for a year in that window.I'll ask again. Why do you think he will keep this form for such a long period when he hasn't been able to in the past?
Which 30+ player has been playing at "win half of slams participated in" level over a 4 year period?When all 30+ players are playing at high level tennis now, why do you think Djokovic won't ? He just need 2 years of 3 plus slam out of 5 years window and that is not tough even if he has slump /injury for a year in that window.
Who said he needs to be in form over period of 4 years? He needs just 2 years where he can win 3 out of 4 slams.why do you think he won't have 2 brilliant year plus a good year out of 5 years?Which 30+ player has been playing at "win half of slams participated in" level over a 4 year period?
Calling these accomplishments easy is actually quite an insult. I doubt Djokovic would tell you his 2011 and 2015 were easy to pull off.
Good point, afterall this is the weakest era of all time.Who will stop him?he doesn't have 2 masters to stop him like Fed had![]()
Good point, afterall this is the weakest era of all time.
I think he can win 1-2 Wimbledon by end of 2020 and 1 USO. Someone else will take him out there one year. Probably wins AO next year too.
8 AO
1 RG
5 Wimbledon
4 USO
Is my prediction. 18 slams, leaving him clearly as the number 2 greatest of all time behind Federer.
Feel free to bookmark this if he surpasses my expectations.
Since 2014 Wimbledon onward it’s been pretty weak. Old Fed who’s proven he’s no match for Nole BO5 and washed up Nadal who only gave Nole one decent match in 2018 at Wimbledon. Aside from that his main rival has been journeyman Wawrinka.It's not weak when you own 2 goat candidate.its weak when you have virgin finalist and not even a single all time great, let alone a goat candidate in your era.meh don't remind me of those titles won against nobodies
Nole doesn’t own anyone apart from Old Fed and Murray.It's not weak when you own 2 goat candidate.its weak when you have virgin finalist and not even a single all time great, let alone a goat candidate in your era.meh don't remind me of those titles won against nobodies
Nole doesn’t own anyone apart from Old Fed and Murray.
2007-2012 Fed was 6-5 at slams vs 2007-2012 Djokovic.
Nadal has always owned Djokovic at slams.
How so?Nadal has always owned Djokovic at slams.
And 3 of those win were against baby Djokovic , see how you spin the narrative ? It's 5-3 if we take Fed's win over baby Djokovic . Anyways , Fed got owned badly by both of his masters that's a fact 18-9 in slams. Also Fed +Nadal +Murray greater than Titans of 03-07 and you're a deluded fanboy if you think otherwise. I'll ignore you nowNole doesn’t own anyone apart from Old Fed and Murray.
2007-2012 Fed was 6-5 at slams vs 2007-2012 Djokovic.

How so?![]()
It's funny when a Roger fan complain about weak era Djokovic had to beat Nadal to win his last 2 slams and that's tougher than beating any player from 03-07 . Look at finalist and semifinalist that Djokovic faced to win his slams.its not even close.Since 2014 Wimbledon onward it’s been pretty weak. Old Fed who’s proven he’s no match for Nole BO5 and washed up Nadal who only gave Nole one decent match in 2018 at Wimbledon. Aside from that his main rival has been journeyman Wawrinka.
He has a clear path but I don’t think the field will suck as badly as it has since 2015/2016 forever so I see 2019/2020 as his window before he declines further and next gen takes over.
Have been hearing this since 2015 btw I don't have any idol. I'm an objective tennis fan who likes to watch DjokovicAfter AO 2020, your idol will cease to be the "indisputable" favorite.
.
Many versions of Roddick, Hewitt, Safin, Old Agassi are tougher than 2019 AO Nadal.It's funny when a Roger fan complain about weak era Djokovic had to beat Nadal to win his last 2 slams and that's tougher than beating any player from 03-07 .

Djokovic is still 31 and in this era of tennis ,players are playing at very high level In their 30s. With us open literally playing like australian open I see Djokovic dominating there for atleast 3 more years and be a contender till 35. With Murray out of pic I see noone Challenging him at Wimbledon if he makes it to second week of tournament. Guys, how many us open and Wimbledon Djokovic is going to win before he calls it a day .I think 6 us open and 6 -7Wimbledon . Discuss
I'm not so optimistic although Novak is looking invincible right now in GS. He has had ups and downs all his career.
From 2005 AO to 2010 USO, he won 1 out of 24.
From 2011 AO to 2012 AO, he won 4 out of 5.
From 2012 FO to 2014 FO, he won 1 out of 9.
From 2014 WB to 2016 FO, he won 6 out of 8.
From 2016 WB to 2018 FO, he won 0 out of 8.
From 2018 WB to 2019 AO, he won 3 out of 3.
Another winter is likely coming for him. We just don't know how soon and how bad/long.
I'll be happy if he wins 1 more WB and 2 more USO.
What a reach. Hewitt never reached past 4th round after turning 30, while Roddick and Safin retired around that age. That's how good they are in comparison to Nadal.Many versions of Roddick, Hewitt, Safin, Old Agassi are tougher than 2019 AO Nadal.
What a reach. Hewitt never reached past 4th round after turning 30, while Roddick and Safin retired around that age. That's how good they are in comparison to Nadal.
Old Fed, Murray, Wawrinka all weaker than 05-07 Nadal on clay yes by FAR.Yes Fed ,Murray , Wawa weaker than Virgin finalists and oyher nobodies of 03-07 . What a deluded troll you're
I was directly comparing 2019 AO Nadal to some of those guys. He swept aside a bunch of mugs then his real level was exposed vs Nole.What a reach. Hewitt never reached past 4th round after turning 30, while Roddick and Safin retired around that age. That's how good they are in comparison to Nadal.
Murray is around Hewitt level.And 3 of those win were against baby Djokovic , see how you spin the narrative ? It's 5-3 if we take Fed's win over baby Djokovic . Anyways , Fed got owned badly by both of his masters that's a fact 18-9 in slams. Also Fed +Nadal +Murray greater than Titans of 03-07 and you're a deluded fanboy if you think otherwise. I'll ignore you now

I think your calculations are wrong...Good point, afterall this is the weakest era of all time.

Youngsters can continue to improve and his own level will drop.
