my take on this current tennis world is this
rafa nadal can win 2024 USO and can take djokovic 's slam record
look at djokovic 's last three slam loss , 2024 ao at sinner - 2024 french open withdrew ( probably lose at alcaraz at final ) - 2024 wimbledon final at alcaraz
and novak djokovic had surgery least twice and leg is not healty

most important thing is still two slam margin for novak djokovic for slam record
at slam , alcaraz can beat him , sinner can beat him , medvedev can beat him

rafa is not done yet , i feel like
2024 USO will be true test for how rafa will win another slam

If they ban running in tennis and its like the over 50's walking football they do, then he has a shot yes.

I'm stoked that Federer is coming back. But I'm even more stoked that McEnroe is coming back to pass Lendl, Connors, and Agassi in the slam count. Hopefully, McEnroe can pass Borg in the slam count to end that debate altogether.

Here's where the Open Era slam count will end up:

Alcaraz 35
Djokovic 30
Nadal 29
Sinner 21
Federer 20
Sampras 14
McEnroe 12

i am serious man
novak djokovic will never win another slam , his leg is way worse than i expect
It's not just Novak who will play the US Open, there are other competitors you know? I was serious too, playing right-handed could destabilize his opponents.

This is what happens when extreme fanboying and vicarious glory hunting prevent somebody from moving on.

if he struggles this much on his favorite surface, on his favorite court, under his favorite playing conditions (hot and sunny day) against someone he owned on this very same court, what makes you think he's going to be in a better shape at the USO? the competition on hard courts is toughest so Rafa will find it very challenging to reach final stages of a slam, let alone winning the event.

his declined movement will only be exposed further on hard court. his days of winning big titles are sadly behind him

Still big doubt he is even planning to participate. In any case there is absolutely zero chance he wins USO in the state he is. He is simply not ready to be competitive at the highest level, and certaintly not in consecutive bo5 matches against top players. It'd be a big success if he gets through the first couple of rounds.

What would be a positive sign for everyone who wants Nadal to keep playing for another year is if he just participates and gets a few rounds cause if he does that it would to me seem he wants to keep playing and get back to a respectable level again to give himself opportunities to be competitive for a one last time.

If only I could find seven Dragon Balls this would be my one tennis wish.

I just want Nadal to play this years US Open since I'll be going this year.

You guyz all making fun of OP like he’s on drugs. But it’s really not as far fetched as it seems.

Go back and watch Sampras losing to George Bastl in 2002 Wimbledon and tell me he wasn’t slower and fatter than 2024 Rafa.
