I honestly can't see anyone outside of those 3 winning a slam in the next 3 years, unless Janowicz goes crazy this offseason and develops a lot this next season. I could see him getting one in 2015 or 2016, but again, it's unlikely. Federer could get one more if he started doping, that's the only way I could see him getting any more.

Djokovic and Nadal are just too good. Djokovic had an OFF year and still made 3 GS finals, that's nuts. Nadal we know is having a historic season, he'll be up there for 3 more years. Murray slipped up recently, but he'll be strong next season.

Your right it is crazy. Maybe I'm being romantic with my Fed, Tsonga and rafa(2016) prediction.

It would certainly be fun if it worked out this way.

Djokovic wins 2 of the next 3 Wimbledons? Not a chance. He probably wont even win 1 more, he is the poorest grass player to win Wimbledon in the Open Era already. Even if Nadal continues to stink on grass like he has lately and Federer is done Murray will dominate there in the next few years then. Djokovic cant touch Murray on grass unless he blows up completely, otherwise all their grass matches will look like the Olympics and this years Wimbledon.

Good one. Perhaps W2015 goes to Murray. USO2016 to Murray as well. Janowicz is young and already has a WSF so he might just win W like you posted.

lol I wish. I'm gonna stay hopeful about this, but I'm not sure... Wimbledon really worries me, but you never know what's gonna happen!
 
I think Nadal will see this as his last good chance at the Grand Slam and will push hard to make it happen. I agree Wimbledon is the biggest worry for now but I see him hiring some outside help to help revive his grass name if necccessary.
 
don't think you cpuld estimate which slam will be one each year like this, maybe in number of slams:murray 4 more, del potro 3 more, others are hard to tell
 
Have no idea for women's (Serena will win around 5-6 of them though), so just doing men's:

2014

W - Nadal
USO - Murray

2015

Come on, if someone dreams of Roddick winning Wimbledon the last person they dream of him playing in the final is Federer (even a 33 year old one). Roddick fans probably have nightmares about Federer, similar to the nightmares Fed fans have about Nadal. Dreams are for happy thoughts, which for a Roddick fan is not Federer. It would be like a Federer fan dreaming of Federer playing Nadal in another Roland Garros final.

To be honest, four years later I still haven't been able to get over the 2009 final. I feel absolutely terrible just thinking about it. It's... I think it's so unfair. Still can't watch highlights of it even. I remember that I absolutely sunk for a couple of days after that match. Nothing could make me happy. I can't imagine how Andy felt. I don't even want to know, or how he feels today.
 
Don't really follow women's tennis anymore, so I'll stick to the men's side:

2014 Australian Open-Nadal
2014 French Open-Nadal
2014 Wimbledon-Nadal
2014 US Open - Federer (changed my mind on the calendar slam...I think Federer has one last magical run in him here to block Nadal and the debate will rage for the rest of history)

2015 Australian Open - Djokovic
2015 French Open - Djokovic
2015 Wimbledon - Murray
2015 US Open - Murray

2016 Australian Open - Murray
2016 French Open - Nadal (farewell)
2016 Wimbledon - Dimitrov (ah, what the heck)
2016 US Open - Djokovic


Federer 18 slams, Nadal 17...let the debates commence.
 
If Nadal was on the verge of the Calendar Slam and faced FEDERER of all people in the final, he would smoke him like a cigar. It would be a worse beatdown than the 2008 French Open final.

You don't think Nadal would feel the pressure?

Nadal feels pressure, contrary to popular belief around here. Remember 5-2 up in the 4th set tiebreak, Wimbledon 2008?

Oh he would feel the pressure in a big way if he was going for the Grand Slam and playing someone he has trouble with, say Novak Djokovic. Depending how he dealt with it, that could give the other guy an edge if it were an opponent like that. To be playing Federer in the final, especialy a 33 year old Federer, would be a relief and would aleviate alot of that pressure. Even Murray or Del Potro (the latter given his history of giving Nadal trouble) would be a less preferable opponent to his old pigeon Federer in such a pressure packed situation.

Anyway if Nadal is around until the very end, and Federer is still around, I predict he will "check out", whether that be by losing match points ahead of playing Nadal or losing inexplicably to someone he shouldnt ever lose to like Robredo. The last thing he wants is his slam H2H with Nadal to get even worse, even if that means Nadal catching/passing his slam record with inability to do anything about it.

Nadal after having one of the GOAT seasons will only win one more slam in his career? Djokovic after losing 4 out of his last 5 slam finals is somehow going to win 7 out of the next 10 slams?

In what world was that a good post?

There's a difference between agreeing with something that doesn't favor Nadal, and agreeing with blatant trolling. If that post was an intelligent comment with a slight but understandable bias (from a Djokovic fan), that's fine. But it wasn't. It was an obvious BS troll attempt from a DJokovic troll.

It was a terrible post. With you agreeing to it means that is your other account or you're just as much a troll as him.

On a basketball forum, I (and maybe another guy or 2) exposed 1 dude with 6-7 other ALTs on the forum. He basically made threads and used all those other accounts to agree with himself. It was sad, he would agree with complete trolls and in the end it caught up with him. What I'm saying is, you've been fed enough, you won't be fed any more from me troll :D

So you're saying it is 100% guaranteed that Nadal will win majors in 2014? It is completely out of the realm of possibility for him to not win any? Do you know something we don't? :shock:

I'm sorry to have offended your false "God" on his forum!

Please stop this trolling. My prediction is perfectly reasonable. If it does not align with your fantasies about Nadal it is not my problem. Omega and I are entitled to our opinions and it does not have to be Nadal worshiping. So please stop with this nonsense. Nadal fans are so unbearable :roll:

I explained my reasoning in several threads. Nadal has never managed two multislam seasons in a row. And he will not able to do that now when he is older. His knees will give in. He will not win more than 1 slam in 2014, probably 0 since he is due to have a slamless season after 9 years. After that he will be too old for another big comeback. So it is perfectly reasonable to predict that Nadal will finish his career with 14-15 slams, no matter how unlikely this looks to delusional Nadal fans from their high horse.

Djokovic on the other hand is due to have another exceptional season. Check the pattern I explained in couple of threads, I will not bother to repeat it again here. So everything is aligning for him. Also not to forget Serbia will likely win the DC this year like in 2010.

I could just like you call blatant trolling all these posters who predict Nadal will win AO after three years of Djokovic's absolute dominance, but I will not since I am not a tool like you and allow for different opinion.

So no trolling on my part, just facts and arguments. It is not trolling if you don't agree with someones opinion and not everyone has to worship your favorite player.

So please stop with this utter nonsense and start respecting that some people have different opinion and maybe see things differently than you.

Thank you.
