Poll: How many more RGs for the Nadal?

[Standaa]

already done this thread once back in 2017 after Nadal won la decima. feel free to check it out here: tt.tennis-warehouse.com/index.php?threads/how-many-more-rg-titles-do-you-predict-rafa-will-win.595669

fast forward three and a half years, he's sitting at 13 titles, more than the vast majority of people predicted he would add to his tally in said thread.

so, time to make another one of these. how many more for the Nadal?

 

[BackhandDTL]

2 more RGs and a non-clay slam(W and USO looking promising for Ned).

I think he finishes at 23.

Agree 2 more RG plus a US.

 

[StrongRule]

At most 2 more, but I will not be surprised if he already won his last slam. I really don't like his mental strength recently. Looks like he is really getting old now. He can't deal with the young players anymore. (while just a year ago he was dealing with them much better than Federer and Djokovic)

 

[BackhandDTL]

I think Wimbly even better chance. Next gen catching up on fast court.

Nadal in 2018 proved he can hang with anyone on that surface. W 2019 was a letdown because he couldn't return or hit with depth.

But Id like to think Ned can do better.

Another interesting possibility he wins the Aus and becomes the only one of the big3 to have each slam more than once.

Would be good if he did do well at Wimby next year as I would be in with a shout of getting tickets.

 

[Red Rick]

It's 2 more RG. Like it was this time of the yea in 2017, 2018, and 2019

 

[BeatlesFan]

One AO title in 16 years on tour doesn't bode well for Rafa ever winning there again. That ship has probably sailed, just as Fed never won the USO again after 2008.

 

[La Pavoni]

I'm going to say 1. I think he wants to retire to the yacht and leave when he knows that he's still on top. I think he's going to time it to perfection and not sour the legacy by going on too long.

I agree it's unlikely but he got close in 2017 and it would be a marvel if he could.

 

[3loudboys]

Rafa also was serving for the match in the semis at the Tour finals on Saturday. He may go all the way in Turin.

 

[ADuck]

Not sure, somewhere between 10-13 more I think.

 

[Yugram]

2 at the very least, 5 at maximum.

 

[Deleted member 770948]

Its going to get easier as Thiem slows down.
And Nadal already served out 2 breadsticks in their 2019 RG final....
So who else will step up to the plate? Djokovic is doomed, Thiem is getting older.....I don't see anyone coming for Nadal's blood.
And Medvedev almost lost 63 64 to Nadal on indoor hardcourt (if Nadal served out the match).
And Tsitsipas can't beat Nadal on hardcourt....

 

[TennisFan3]

I would say between 0-1 RG more. He is getting older and started to wear out in longer matches.
For a great champion such as Nadal, it would not be apt to hang around on clay and get beaten. Once he loses a 5 set slam match in RG, I think he will retire soon after.

Nadal's legend at RG will live on for eternity. It seems a statistic right now because Nadal makes it look easy.
But once he retires, we will look back at awe on his tremendous achievement. Youngsters in the next few years (and even decades) will try, but will NEVER come close to matching what Nadal has accomplished.
There will be one record in Tennis that will live on forever. There is a king of clay - and then there is a God of clay - Nadal has transcended to the later..

 

[weakera]

He just needs one more slam but I'll be greedy and say 2 more at RG. Outside chance at 3.

 

[Deleted member 770948]

How many years before Nadal plays the long match at Roland Garros?
He's dropped a total of 3 sets in the last 4 French Opens, and no 5-setters.
Nadal getting older doesn't change anything.
Whereas Thiem getting older will change things, and make it even easier for Nadal.

This is the biggest moment in TTW history.

 

[Cortana]

I say 6 or more.

 

[StrongRule]

This is the biggest moment in TTW history.

At most means that it might be 0, 1 or 2 with positive probability. Right now it looks like 0 has the biggest chance.

Djokofan, posters like you have dreamt of Rafa's retirement since at least 2005.

what do you think, octo? how many more RGs for Rafa?

You admitted that there's even a possibility he wins another. This is a breakthrough.

 

[Centrius]

Hopefully this year was his last one.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

I wouldn't be surprised if he gets 4 but if I have to guess then 2-3.

 

[Mike Sams]

I think at least 6 more. But not in succession. He'll win the next 3, lose 1 due to injury, then win another 3.
Retires with 26 Slams.

 

[Bartelby]

The Next Gen on clay is even far less promising than the Next Gen in general.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

2.
One next year because Nole will be focused on Wimbledon and Thiem is no good in finals and everyone else is just meh on Clay.
One in 2022 because he'll be retiring that year and will want to go out on top.

 

[Bartelby]

Hopefully this year was his last one.

 

[Bamoos]

Possibly another 2-3 RG

Maybe 1 more real tennis slam (Wimbledon) or a blue clay slam at USO.

 

[Centrius]

I think at least 6 more. But not in succession. He'll win the next 3, lose 1 due to injury, then win another 3.
Retires with 26 Slams.

 

[heftylefty]

I can see Rafa winning two more RG, but the pack and Father Time are closing in.

Are you trolling?

what do you think, octo? how many more RGs for Rafa?

wow, didn’t realize you were serious

 

[Yugram]

They are further and further away, if we judge by 2020 RG numbers.

 

[r2473]

Not sure, somewhere between 10-13 more I think.

I’ll take the overs

 

[Phenomenal]

I don't want to put any limit because ı just dont like. Every year he is getting older and his movement getting worse despite his extraordinary achievements still winning the tournament with only losing few sets for 3-4 years. So ıdk maybe he won't win ı hope and believe he will win few more ı hope 3 or more but 2 is maybe realistic. I think thiem has a power he can do it if rafa's performance drops but other than him atleast this year ı dont see anyone maybe novak if rafa plays worse and he plays better.

 

[Beckerserve]

Agree 2 more RG plus a US.

Exactly how i see it.
The beat down he gave Novak will give him a 2 set head start against every player at FO next year and the following year

 

[Arak]

I like to believe he can win two more, but judging from recent form, he might not win any.

 

[DismalFuture]

Nothing would surprise me anymore at this point. He'll probably keep hoarding them until he can't walk anymore or isn't allowed to play on the tour anymore.

 

[Wander]

0-2.

 

[Nadal>>>>>Federer]

I have stopped trying to guess. At this point he could win it in his 40s and I wouldn't be surprised anymore

 

[Poisoned Slice]

1 more , 5 more, I don't know, no. All I can say is that it is unlimited budget and an emotional situation. Best of luck to Andy.

 

[terribleIVAN]

Word is the French won't allow Fed's 20 slams record to be broken on their home soil.

Marksmen with rifles will wait for Rafa should he enter the main draw next year.

The French have always been considerate and classy

 

[junior74]

It's ombeleebel that an injured person who happens to play tennis is so much better than all the uninjured persons who happen to play tennis on this particular, and natural, surface, which is for real men only.

Soon Rafa can do what he likes the most; fish from his humble boat.

2 more, tops.

IIIII do not think...that winning the Rrrroland Garrrrros is impossibel. For sure it's the true that if you gonna play the good tennis, then anything is possibel on this suffrace, no?
