How would you allocate the following numbers of Major titles: 1, 3, 8, 12, 20

[FrontHeadlock]

Here's how I would do it:

• 1 Major: RG
  • It's my favorite Major, so if I had to pick only one, this would be it
• 3 Majors: RG-W-USO
  • I'd have one on each surface, the USO is more prestigious than the AO, and being an American I'd want my home Major title
• 8 Majors: 1 AO, 3 RG, 2 W, 2 USO
  • I'd have the CGS, and I'd show excellent surface diversity. I like RG the best so I'd take 3 there, and I'd want at least 2 at the USO because it's my home Major title so winning it a second time would be pretty sweet.
• 12 Majors: 1 AO, 4 RG, 4 W, 3 USO
  • CGS, perfect surface diversity, and I'd be only the second man with at least 4 titles at each of RG and W
• 20 Majors: 2 AO, 7 RG, 7 W, 4 USO
  • DCGS (I think this is kind of a made up term, but at 20 Majors I'd probably be annoyed if I couldn't win the AO a second time), I'd be the only player with at least 7 titles at both RG and W (a record that I think might never be broken), and I'd have almost perfect surface diversity. OTOH, I might want 5 USO to be tied for #1 there (I'd be #2 at each of RG and W, and #1 at USO).

[AnOctorokForDinner]

1 - Wimbledon
3 - 2 Wimbledon, 1 RG
8 - 4 WB, 2 RG, 1 AO, 1 USO
20 - 4x5

 

[Nadal_King]

1- Wimbledon
3- Wimbledon, Rg,Uo
8- 3 Wimbledon, 2 Rg, 2 Uo, 1 Ao
12- 5 Wimbledon, 3 Rg, 2 Uo, 2 Ao
20- 10 Wimbledon, 4 Rg, 4 Uo, 2 ao
I think winning 10 at one slam is pretty special achievement and therefore I chose Wimbledon as I would cherish it most rest it's all about cgs,dcgs and maintaining fair distribution

1 - Wimbledon. Most prestige.
3 - RG-W-USO - Surface slam, preferably all in 1 year. USO closer to history with 1 slam than at AO.
8 - 1 AO, 1 RG, 4 W, 2 USO. Career slam with multiple in one major outside Wimby, but a clear propensity for the most prestigious major.
12 - 1 AO, 2 RG, 3 Wimby, 6 USO. Outright record at one slam, plus double Surface slam and CGS.
20 - 3 AO, 3 RG, 8 Wimby, 6 USO. 1 outright record, 1 tied record, triple career grand slam and most versatile career.

12 - 1 AO, 2 RG, 3 Wimby, 6 USO. Outright record at one slam, plus double Surface slam and CGS.

Now this is interesting. Most people do not go down for any particular title, although I get your rationale.

 

[BlueB]

1 - anything, beggars are not choosers
3 - AO, FO, W, in the same year, to have a chance at CYGS
8 - 2x each
12 - 3x each
20 - 5x each

 

[Kralingen]

1, 3, 8, 12, and 20 US Opens. My Mom could come see me do it.

 

[Third Serve]

1 Cincy
2 Cincy 1 Basel
2 Cincy 2 Basel 2 Halle 2 Dubai
3 Cincy 4 Basel 3 Halle 2 Dubai
5 Cincy 5 Basel 5 Halle 5 Dubai

Only the GOAT has achieved the elusive quintuple career Slam

I wonder what 16yo Nadal's answer would have been.

 

[TripleATeam]

1, 3, 8, 12, and 20 US Opens. My Mom could come see me do it.

I'd love that - you don't participate at any other major, you just get the WC into the USO, win it, then go home until next year. Rinse and repeat for 20 years.

Greatest what-if in all of tennis.

 

[TheNachoMan]

1 - Wimbledon
3 - 2 Wimbledon and 1 RG
8 - 3 Wimbledon 2 RG, 1 AO, 2 USO
12 - 5 Wimbledon, 3 RG, 2 AO, 2 USO

I wonder what 16yo Nadal's answer would have been.

He did answer the first one: wimbledon

He also said he preferred plaing indoor hard or grass over clay! LMAO
