[AnOctorokForDinner]

Epic LOL at Nadal having more slam titles than Zverev has slam quarters at their respective ages

 

[Djokodal Fan]

Just shows that Nadal is a freak!

 

[Booger]

Zeddy just won the biggest tournament of his life and you guys roast him lol.

WTF stats are wrong for Djokodal (should be 1 final for both at that time).

 

[BeatlesFan]

Just mentioning Zverev in the same breath as Rafa and Novak is a stretch. They're two of the three greatest players to ever hold a racket, he's a nobody in contrast.

 

[tennis_pro]

seriously?

 

[BeatlesFan]

Zeddy just won the biggest tournament of his life and you guys roast him lol.

He already won it in 2018. Did that propel him to slam glory?

 

[Deleted member 629564]

Thanks, I fixed this.

 

[-snake-]

0 slams with no Fedal around and just Oldovic as the man to beat.

 

[Nadal_Django]

The guy can easily have a 3 Slam season in 2022. He is showing scary peak.

Yes three Berrettini Opens is a safe bet.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Wow I just realized that 24yo Bull and Djoko were more accomplished than 24yo Zed is. Thanks op didn't know that.

 

[Booger]

Norrie won an M1000. Anything is possible in Mug Era.

 

[Kralingen]

Don’t forget that Zverev has an advantage over the two though. He leads them both in breadsticks received from RaoMUG (3)

to be somewhat fair to him tho, the nature of the Big 3 is that they are truly special outlier players and basically everyone else will fall short in comparison.

 

[MeatTornado]

Woah no way he's not as good as 2 of the greatest players in the entire history of the sport.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Wake me up when he wins a slam. Lots of bums have won the year end title. LOL. Its a year end exhibition after a long season when guys are tired.. Plus it was played on a very fast court. A surface none of the slams are played on. the season really ends after the US Open for many guys. Many guys are looking for a time off after Flushing.

 

[skaj]

And soon after than Rafael loses his physical edge and everything starts going slowly downhill for him.

 

[ghostofMecir]

The guy can easily have a 3 Slam season in 2022. He is showing scary peak.

loooool You’d probably get 20/1 odds that he wins two. Put money on it.

 

[RG GOD]

And soon after than Rafael loses his physical edge and everything starts going slowly downhill for him.

Well, he has 88 titles, 20 GS, 36 M1000 and 5 Davis Cups...not bad.

 

[Jonesy]

How about Murray?

 

[tudwell]

It’s just filthy what Nadal achieved before even turning 25.

 

[Forgive Me Father]

same for everyone against Nadal so these comparisons are unfair.

 

[Forgive Me Father]

And soon after than Rafael loses his physical edge and everything starts going slowly downhill for him.

when was that "soon"? This year?

 

[skaj]

when was that "soon"? This year?

And when did you start following tennis? This year?

 

[Forgive Me Father]

And when did you start following tennis? This year?

You can feel free to tell us when things started going downfall for him any time now.

 

[Pablo1989]

Nadal is completely crazy.

@Yugram so bruh my point is proven that peak zverev is not nearly comparable to ATGs.

 

[The Big Foe fan]

He already won it in 2018. Did that propel him to slam glory?

Did propel him to lose from dual set and a break lead over a struggling and clearly inferior player that day.

 

[The Blond Blur]

Youngdal was so stacked! @MichaelNadal

 

[Midaso240]

Just shows that Nadal is a freak!

Borg would be better yet, he was pretty much finished as a top player before his 26th birthday

 

[Bender]

Borg would be better yet, he was pretty much finished as a top player before his 26th birthday

Nadal with 9 slams by age 24 is mighty close if not better considering that by 2011 he had won all four slams. Granted, things were very different back then, with the surface distribution, surface speeds, equipment, etc.

Djokovic ruined that party by GOATing in 2011, but had Nadal solved Djokovic for that year then he'd have ended the year with 11 slams with back-to-back three slam years, adding a third Wimbledon and a second USO (defending both titles), as well as winning IW, Miami, Madrid, and Rome.

Those would put him well past Borg in a direct comparison IMO.

 

[socallefty]

In any competition, it’s not just about how you start, but mostly about how you finish.

 

[topher]

Borg would be better yet, he was pretty much finished as a top player before his 26th birthday

Borg had what, 10 slams including 3 channel slams.

Rafa had 9 slams, career grand slam and 2 channel slams.

I’d say Rafa was pretty close to Borg’s mark, if a tad short.

 

[Sudacafan]

Nadal should trade his entire career for the couple of Z’s YECs.

 

[StilltheGOAT]

Yes three Berrettini Opens is a safe bet.

Can you please elaborate what (insert player's name) Open means?

 

[topher]

Nadal should trade his entire career for the couple of Z’s YECs.

True, on the other hand nothing beats the Battle of Surfaces championship:

 

[Sudacafan]

Yes, but that was so kitsch and anaesthetic.

 

[Sudacafan]

I understand that is a cakewalk open full of mugs.

 

[topher]

Yes, but that was so kitsch and anaesthetic.

In the end it’s a preference in numbing agents. Lack of WTF, Olympics, slam top 10 wins. Pick your poison and ponder the pain.

We owe so much to Fedr.
So many people are unaware of this, looking away.
Sad, very sad indeed.

Very true, but who begat the Barilla-maestro? His Pistolness, Big Papa Peter.

Let us consult the immortal Spencer Gore, he’ll tell the origin story. #BudgeGOAT

Sampras is a BlackBerry compared to The Big Three.

 

[InsideOut900]

Well, Fed barely made 9 quarterfinals by age 24 too, granted in 5 of those he won the title in the end

 

[Rosstour]

Wake me up when he wins a slam. Lots of bums have won the year end title. LOL. Its a year end exhibition after a long season when guys are tired.. Plus it was played on a very fast court. A surface none of the slams are played on. the season really ends after the US Open for many guys. Many guys are looking for a time off after Flushing.

Lots of bums? Bums like Agassi and Jimbo?

Here's the list of players who have won it more than once.

2: Zod, Borg and Hewitt - total bums

3: Mac, Becker - clowns for sure

4: Nasty

5: Djok, Sampras, Lendl - absolute muggery

6: Federer (biggest bum of them all)

I guess there's no Rafa on this list because it's a mickey mouse tournament for bums and he was too busy winning Slams, being insanely dominant while in a wheelchair, and doing butt shots for Armani Jeans

 

[Bubcay]

We are missing Federer in the comparison (it would be interesting if he was added too), but Rafa was an absolute beast in his early years... Djokovic took a while to really mature, but when he did........

 

[MichaelNadal]

And people seriously ask why Nadal can't keep up now? LOL, dude was a freaking beast way earlier than most.

 

[StilltheGOAT]

I understand that is a cakewalk open full of mugs.

Ohh ok Thanks!

 

[ElChivoEspañol]

Nadal is such a freak of nature, God had to nerf him a little, if he had a healthy body he would've destroyed the circuit.

 

[Kralingen]

Crazy thing for Rafa in this one is that he had barely played his best HC tennis yet. Sure the AO ‘09 and USO ‘10 runs were excellent but he wasn’t yet that consistent on the surface. Of course the deal with the devil he made included exchanging grass for HC success.
