Nadal non clay slam wish list

[DIMI_D]

If you could choose only 1 non clay slam to win before Nadal ends his career which would it be?

AO - double career slam
Wim- first person open era 3 surface champ
US - tied for open era record

 

[jondice]

Aussie for sure. Just because he's had so many chances and come so close. I'm fine with his Wimby and Open results.

 

[tennis_pro]

I cant choose, let it stay as it is.

 

[MichaelNadal]

I really can't decide lol. Wimbledon barely.

USO. I want him to get the joint leader tally thing so when people say he's no good outside Clay I can say...'Say what?'

 

[Enceladus]

The poll is missing the "None" option.

 

[DIMI_D]

The poll is missing the "None" option.

Those days could be over that’s why it’s a wish list

 

[DIMI_D]

he is coming for the King Salmon

 

[DIMI_D]

Same mine use to be AO maybe I have come to terms that it won’t happen but Wimbledon would be epic

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I'm cooking some salmon at the minute.

 

[beast of mallorca]

AO it is, for the double Career Grand Slam

 

[aldeayeah]

AO, to break the mummy's curse.

 

[Hitman]

AO, to break the mummy's curse.

Nah, he sold his soul to the devil to get that AO 2009, he's been paying for it ever since.

 

[StrongRule]

Probably USO. Though I'm afraid he really missed his chance when he skipped it last year.

 

[StrongRule]

Why would anyone choose Wimbledon over AO and USO? At this point another Wimbledon title will not add anything to his legacy.

First man to have three slams on three different surfaces....record would stand test of time amd breaks the tie with Wilander.

Plus it’s the most prestigious of the slams tbh

USO to be record holder there as well as FO.

Plus Novak will have to win 2 more FOs to equal this achievement

 

[DIMI_D]

Being outright in 2 slams say he somehow managed another 2 USOs would be mammoth. I believe Borg is the only man to hold this distinction in the open era being the outright leader at one stage in 2/4 slams?

 

[Hitman]

Plus Novak will have to win 2 more FOs to equal this achievement

Hence my point. This would not be equalled for a long time,

AO is an irrelevance for Nadal. Least prestigious slam still even though its my fav to go to. USO would mean a record for Nadal but W is the most prestigious slam so i can understand why people may say W

could we make a 'nadal slam stripping wish list' thread instead?

(of course with an 'all of them' option... why do you even ask???)​

Nadals 4 USOs shut his haters up for good. USO 2019 for me was his biggest slam. To have the record would be such sweet icing

For me all slams are equal. If Federer's best slam was RG we would be hearing that it is the most important slam.

I think the players were asked this question in 2010 werent they? A poll was done and it was 1. W 2. FO 3 USO 4. AO.
Certainly i remember someone saying endorsement wise one Wimbledon in a year is better than winning the 3 other majors same year. Think 1988 was cited. Edberg had all the attention despite Wilander bagging the other 3

Yes probs but even so it has the history oldest tournament, same location and the same continuous surface.. But I agree Fed fanatics would argue black and blue it’s more relevant is the shoe is on the other foot..

US Open 2019.

That player poll is interesting 1 Wimby and 4 AO is obvious but between FO and US is razor thin, back in the early 90s easily the US due to the American dominance - Agassi, Sampras, courier etc

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

The last one he won, thank u plez.

 

[Hitman]

The last one he won, thank u plez.

Looks like a fair minded Nadal fan feels the same as you. LOL

US Open 2019.

 

[DIMI_D]

What would you guys be super happy with career wise from here on out until retirement, surpassing your expectations career wise
- 22 slams
- 1 TF
-Another YENO1
-50 more weeks at world number 1
-40plus masters
-100+ career titles
Etc?

 

[MadariKatu]

I'd go for the AO, for the dcgs. Then Wimbledon, because it's been very long since last time, and the 3x surface slams. Last would be the USO. It would be cool for him to share the record there, but comparing to the other two, other than the overall gs record, it wouldn't add much when looking at all the slams as a whole.

 

[Jonesy]

I feel he can win any of the 3 for the next 5 years.

 

[TheNachoMan]

peak grassdal was epic. I’d like to see him win another Wimbledon, or at least be in the final again

 

[Mediterranean Might]

I voted AO for the double career slam, but honestly any of them is just amazing

 

[Mainad]

Why USO (4 titles already) over Wimbledon (2 titles)?

Wim- first person open era 3 surface champ

My Nadal non-clay Slam wish list:

 

[King No1e]

Why would anyone choose Wimbledon over AO and USO? At this point another Wimbledon title will not add anything to his legacy.

3 Wimbledons wouldn't do anything for his legacy? Just 1 more Wimbledon (or AO) title would do more for his legacy than 5 more RG's.

 

[ChaelAZ]

I just want him to grab that elusive AO, having been so close.

 

[Cupcake]

It's not on the list and is 'a clay slam', but I'd vote for the French Open. It's the next one and would give him 21. From there it's all gravy. He's not getting any younger.

 

[StrongRule]

3 Wimbledons wouldn't do anything for his legacy? Just 1 more Wimbledon (or AO) title would do more for his legacy than 5 more RG's.

I assume you are just trolling. 1 slam worth more than 5?

 

[StrongRule]

Why USO (4 titles already) over Wimbledon (2 titles)?

Because if he wins 1 more USO he will tie the all time record there. On the other hand, what big records can he beat in Wimbledon? No difference between 2 titles and 3 titles there.

 

[USO]

3 Wimbledons wouldn't do anything for his legacy? Just 1 more Wimbledon (or AO) title would do more for his legacy than 5 more RG's.

And Djokovic can win 5 more AO and it will not do anything to his legacy compared to 1 more FO or 1 more US Open.

 

[helterskelter]

People keep posting these polls that have objectively right answers, and yet many posters answer them incorrectly. Thank you for edifying the TTW-reading public on this one.

 

[Tenacity]

And Djokovic can win 5 more AO and it will not do anything to his legacy compared to 1 more FO or 1 more US Open.

In that case, does that or will it diminish what Nadal has done/continues to do at RG? No, and only insane person would say otherwise.

You contradict yourself so much because of that crazy hatred you have towards a tennis player. Think about it.

Obviously you didn't read the post that I was quoting.

 

[BeatlesFan]

USO,,, so when people say he's no good outside Clay I can say...'Say what?'

You can already say that. He's won more US Open's than Lendl and is tied with McEnroe, both of whom were obviously far superior HC players to Rafa.
