Novak Djokovic's Chances at Surpassing Nadal's Legacy?
Simple question in some regard.
Of Nadal's 14 Slam titles, 9 are from the French Open.
Djokovic has 7 titles with 4 of them from the Australian Open.
Djokovic however has 14 Finals to Nadal's 20. Including 5 at the U.S. Open and four consecutive (to Nadal's 3 overall). Djokovic has as many Wimbledon titles as Nadal with more opportunity to gain there yet. Meanwhile at the French Open, Djokovic continues to be pegged as the strongest competitor to unseat Nadal.
I think Djokovic, as always, has a fair shot in winning the U.S. Open. If he does that he's obviously the favourite in Australia. Winning those two titles before French Open 2015 would put him at 9 and behind Nadal by 5. Of course winning the 2015 French in that order would give him all four Slams at one time and a place with Rod Laver. It would give him 10 titles and what both Federer and Nadal never achieved.
The opportunity is there for him.
Getting to 15 titles is unlikely though.
