I tip my hat off to the Nadal; thoughts on Slam Race

[Rago]

Based the current numbers, 20 slams and it'd be difficult for me to rate Federer higher.

Posted this last year; I'd rank Nadal ahead as the better player when comparing his career with Federer's at this point.

Slam distribution is not something that should be held AGAINST him; in fact, such kind of domination on one surface only makes him even greater.

100-2 at one slam will probably never be witnessed again during our lifetimes.

Federer is the worst of the big three at playing tight matches against anyone on tour (weird for such a great tie break player); Djokovic going for walkabouts at the US Open and playing flat finals after a 5 set semi are hurting him in the slam race as well.

I think Djokovic will tie Federer but he needs to play better than he did at AO this year.

Nadal will probably finish his career with at least three more slams.

Very crafty of Nadal fans to group together US and AO when both surfaces play differently.

P.S. It doesn't matter anyways; a slam is a slam.

I hate everything tennis now. Will lead pickleball to take over all local courts. Will rise in the ranks in United States society for the sole purpose of putting an end to tennis.

Yeah, that poster is a caricature at this point.

Fed‘s is clearly the most balanced. If Rafa wins Wimby or AO again then there’s no debate really
