Nadal will make His10ry

[Skeletroll]

He will secure La Decima at the French Open this year and cement himself as the best clay counter of all time. No one can stop him on clay, he will do what everyone thought was impossible, and win 10 titles at the single Grand Slam event.

1. He's already cemented himself as the best.
2. I predict that he won't just so that if he doesn't I get to bump this thread.

Nadal long ago cemented himself as the best clay courter of all time. Once he won his sixth FO in 2010 and surpassed Bjorn's tally, he was clay GOAT. What he's done since then has merely raised the clay bar so high it's doubtful anyone will touch his clay records for a very, very long time.

 

[MichaelNadal]

He sure will, whether people try to create jinx threads on a forum he never reads or not

 

[K-H]

You're predictions are always wrong. I thought Nadal would get 10 at RG. Now that you're predicting it, I have doubts.

 

[Hitman's Gurl]

As long as he doesn't beat Roger along the way I don't mind.

Jinx threads. They are even more ridiculous than Jinder Mahal being number 1 contender.

I can't believe Vince allowed that to happen. That's just patheti-sad

I watched a video about it and it makes sense lol. They are trying to tap into the HUGE market in India. It's dumb from our perspective, but that's one hell of a big market.

Last time I predicted someone winning a tournament they withdrew with food poisoning. Let's hope that doesn't happen to Rafa

I think he'll win it for sure, but as a few have mentioned, he's already cemented as the greatest on clay. He's already in a completely different stratosphere, his achievements will go unmatched for quite some time, if ever.

No joke, but I actually predict that Lucas Pouille will win Roland Garros.

Murray and Djokovic will lose in the early rounds, and Rafa will get knocked out by the first decent player he faces.

I think that Pouille will win by default.

Donskoy to win

Donskoy > Fed > Nadal if we go by H2H this year.

 

[Tennisanity]

Armstrong was also considered the greatest at one point.

 

[Druss]

Whether he wins RG No10 or not, he has already established himself as the clay GOAT, well and truly, it's not debatable.

Unless medical technology gets REALLY good (such that careers can easily go into your 40s or you can stay in peak performance all year long without a problem), I doubt anyone will touch his records, even after a very, very long time. 10 FOs is basically an entire career of dominance over a major. If Nadal hits that, then achieving that only ties him. If he doesn't, then not even Nadal of all people could achieve such a ridiculous feat, just make us contemplate the realistic possibility of it being achieved. Nobody has had an entire career of dominance over a single major. Even if this sets a precedent, I really doubt it'll be matched. If you miss 2 titles in your prime, it's basically already an impossible to achieve feat. Not only that, you basically have to start early so you can get the count up early before your legs start slowing down.

10x Monte Carlo, 10x Barcelona, 10x(?) Roland Garros. I don't use the word "impossible" often, but I don't see how anyone will ever repeat this feat.

Rome, then Roland Garros and Nadal will have won the Red Slam
