A player beating another player at 4 slams is amazing
A player beating another player at 4 straight slams is crazy
A player beating another player in 4 straight slam finals is unthinkable
A No. 1* player beating the No. 2 in 4 straight slam finals is just fantasy



I still think Rafa is the favorite in Roland Garros, but by GOD.. if he gets beat a fourth straight time, I think the consequences will be crazy.

* I know Nole was No. 2 at wimby, but he became no. 1 right then.

For some reason, I don't see a Djokodal final happening at the FO. One of them may be in the final but not both.

Murray vs Federer FINAL at the French would be epic...
Murray could even possibly get his first slam win there....
Federer needs to get to the FINALS at the very least to defend his points...

I know, I can't bear to think of Nadal losing one more time to Joker, esp at RG.

I'd really like to see a CYGS in my lifetime, although I know it won't "look" any different from winning 4 in a row, or missing one in between. But still....

Maybe it's time to start talking about a possible Roger slam. If Nadal and Fed both make the USO final this year and Nadal wins,he will have beaten Fed at all of the slams on every surface. Does that float your boat,dude? :lol:

The consecutiveness of Nadal's failures is a far more impressive feat, but just keep doing your thing if it helps you feel better.

Alternatively, if Nadal beats Djokovic at the Australian, he will have beaten him at each of the four slams.

As you can see I didn't start this troll thread. Too bad you didn't say the same thing to the Fed fan who made this thread to just keep doing their thing because it helps them feel better. :lol:

Why be nervous? If Nadal makes the final against Djesus he will lose. It's that simple and entirely expected. Nadal is incapable of beating Djesus,so don't be nervous and just watch him get beaten by the same guy 1,454,685,345 in a row. Lol.

Bc it will basically mean the end of his career. Won't be a good day for me.

I don't think that they will both be in the final UNLESS Isner, Almagro and Delpo are not in either one of their quarters.

And does anyone know if Soderling will be back in time for the FO or not.

That's the spirit! Rafa would be so proud of you.

You'll feel exactly how the Fed fans feel before a Fedal match. However, Nadal is still young and still has plenty of chances to win more. Sooner or later he'll get some wins against Joker.

If Djoker makes the final at FO, there is no doubt Nadal will tank the semi. Guaranteed.
It depends on the order of the semis. And I'd like to bet with you that he wont. Losing at RG against Joker is not as bad as it sounds. Maybe for fans, but not for him.

Why ? I remember avidly following tennis matches at least from 1980 or 81, so I must have been a fan from before that. What's with 1988?

p.s. okay wait, i get it. Ms Graf. DUH !

People must feel like they're standing next to a living legend (in the class of Einstein or Elvis in their prime) when they go near Rafa with all the consecutive slams he's winning and all. He's the most powerful person on planet earth!

The proper name is Rafail Slam.

And, what, a player beating the next highest ranked player 7 straight times, regardless of tournament designation, is chopped liver?

Rafa Slam? It's already offered on the Denny's menu...a Spanish omelette with enough habaneros and jalapeños to require frequent towelling off between bites, excessive compulsive alignments of water bottles between courses and fervent buttpicking on the walk to the men's room after dining.

Djokovic became #1 just before the finals against Nadal at Wimbledon actually.

Hold on! Let's not get carried away. There are 3 clay Masters tournaments yet to go before RG. Who makes the finals and who wins and carries momentum and confidence into RG has yet to be decided.

Too many people here jumping the gun, esp our dear Ms Congeniality. :)

Hey sentinel,what's going on??:)
So,you are one that's financing your pup's spaying?? :)..I hope they all are fine..
Yes, I am paying for it. Big cost. The pups have been operated upon and are recovering, the mother is scheduled for surgery today. I've been on tenterhooks for the last 3 days.

Nadal is a very humble person with very humble upbringing. He doesn't minds being runner up to such a good opponent on such a great run.

What is all this excitement about a "Rafa slam"? It's rather mean if you ask me, to be excited about someone's repeated loss. The Nole retirement slam was maybe sort of funny the first time one heard it, but this one just isn't.
