All are inter linked currently djokovic has better chance obviously but say rafa comes back wins 2-3 slams and target gers tougher for novak and nadal maybe gathering more weeks at no 1. So novak, nadal one us interlinked but roger one is really tough now to catch up but atleast if that gets better for roger it means below 2 might never happen.

Can't say. For all you know, these might become permanent "flaws".
We are in an unprecedented time where they have not been competitive for months now. They are no spring chicken any longer and they might be considerably rusty for a while.
It's definitely going to be interesting when play resumes. But we have to wait and watch. This is the intervention the "Next Gen" needed to do some introspection and get some fire in their belly.
Whether that will happen, remains to be seen. Though I would never bet against the Big 3.

If Nadal gets 1 more YE1 and ties the record it will be the ultimate counter to any complaint about his weeks (just like if he ties the USO record it will be the ultimate counter to any complaints about his supposed HC shortcomings).

Is Nadal's bigger flaw his weeks or the lack of WTF? I think Nadal's weeks in context are pretty solid and he has 5 YE 1 too.

I think his indoor results are one of the reasons he didn't get many weeks as #1 (he's not top5 in the Open Era) so the two things are linked.

Nobody beats Rafael Nadal 17 times in a row (and counting), except for Fedovic outside clay :) A flaw?

I don't think it matters much. It just seems weird, because he has been #1 almost 1 year during that "streak".

Djokovic’s having 17 slams is not a flaw. Losing 3 times each to Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka is more upsetting

is nadal the only male tennis player to loose 3 consecutive GS finals (2011 Wimb, 2011 US Open and 2012 AO) all of them to djokovic

on the other hand Fed appeared in 18 GS finals out of 19 consecutive GS finals 2005 Wimbledon to 2010 AO except 2008 AO

during this streak fed never lost 3 consecutive finals and lost 2 consecutive finals only once 2008 FO and 2008 Wimbledon

@Lew II being 10-21 against opponents 6 years younger, when they avoided Fed 15 times in GS during Fed prime isn't a flaw.
cause in Wonderland reality, they did avoid Fed at those 15 GS he won, didn't they?
unlike Fed who took the greatest and mightiest player to the tiebreak of the 6th set at W 2019 when the majority of TT warriors said he has zero chances if the match will last more than 3 sets.
