Novak: gets to 8 slams, establishes himself as unequivocal top dog heading into RG with big questions likely swirling around Rafa, Murray, Fed etc.

Fed: Gets to 18, likely puts Nadal close to out of reach, achieves another phenomenal and legacy defining feat after all these years

Murray: 3/4th of the way to the career slam, back in the top mix, career has been replenished, could be at the top for many years to come with Fed and possibly Nadal fading

Nadal: Gets to 15, 2 behind fed and the DCGS. Gets another slam off clay which boosts his all time legacy (not just a claycourter) significantly. Establishes himself as the heavy favorite heading into RG (another multi slam season) and increases his comeback legend

A lot on the line for all of them no doubt...Probably Fed has the least pressure, least to prove.

I would have to say Rafa. 2 career slams is really something. Nobody has done it on the 3 surfaces. + 11 consecutive seasons of winning slams. Some mind-boggling stats there.
Then Novak or Fed for the absolute record at AO. No one has won 5.

True, good point!

And I agree, a Rafa win there I think would be the most noteworthy

They all have the same amount to gain -- which is winning a Grand Slam tournament.

By a mile, yes.

Your threads (and actions on the forum) deviate from the reality of the sport -- something I cannot and will not support. At least the people I suggested would win a Grand Slam today made the final of said particular tournament.

Yet, Nadal (or Djokovic for that matter) haven't made it past the first round and you're already talking about what meaning the win will supposedly have.

Far from the truth, and also quite irrelevant.

Why don't you look thru them ? :)

Then why respond and let me know it's not true. Face it buddy, you are bitter and unhappy searching for meaning in your snipey posts. No man who is successful in life, with women etc. posts like you :lol :lol:

Coming from a "man" who changes his display picture daily (of himself). Out of insecurity perhaps?

Why would a person want (plural) women? I am not someone who enjoys bedding several different women..

I'm happy with my current girlfriend, and I believe I will cut this conversation off now as it just shows how bitter and angry you are..

Nadal and Murray have the most to gain. Murray since he only has two slams and is ailing. Nadal since he's been losing so much recently and a double career slam would be quite an achievement.

They all have a lot to gain.

If Nadal wins it (and I don't think he will) things will be VERY interesting heading into RG this year...

Everyone. Federer: more distance between him and Rafa. Nadal: one step closer to catching the current GOAT. Djokovic/Murray: improving their place in history. Everyone else: breakthrough, showing that the big 4 are losing their dominance over the field

Not a bad thread. I think it would be true. I'm sure if Sabratha, at the end of 2013, would have made the prediction that Wawrinka and Cilic would win slams in 2014, you'd have made fun of him then, too.

Sabratha hankers after the transitional era way too much - the days of Hewitt, Roddick and Safin being at the top of the game are over. He needs to realise it ain't 2003 anymore and focus on the here and now.

I was just defending him against 125's down the middle onslaught of verbal abuse.

I would say equally important for Nadal and Federer with third place importance going to Djokovic.

Federer because it would be slam number 18 which would probably mean Nadal's realistic chances of surpassing Federer's slam count would be slim. Also Fed would win his fifth AO and would be AO GOAT of Open Era.

Nadal for the double career slam and slam number 15.

Djokovic for the AO Open Era record and slam number 8.

One thing is for sure, if Novak wins I will congratulate him heartily.
5 AO's would be a tremendous achievement and cement his status as a high-level ATG in my book, and this is coming from someone who is not really a big fan.

Being the GOAT at a major is something that two players in the entire history of the sport can currently claim (Federer x3, Nadal).

Novak has an opportunity for true, lasting greatness this January by becoming the GOAT at a major and showing he truly belongs in the ring with Fedal.

Federer is not the stand-alone GOAT at any slam though.

If one of the young up and coming player win, we all win. Because maybe, tennis do have a future beyond these giants.

He is the GOAT by tiebreakers at three though:

AO: (Extra final + 2 surfaces + 11 consec. SF + A title in straight sets)
WIM: (5 consecutive + 2 Extra finals)
USO: (5 consecutive when the next best is 3 + Extra final + that USO 04 F when he was essentially God)

Forget all of that, it is not the same thing. He shares the GOAT title at three out of the four slams which is no small feat but he is not the outright stand-alone GOAT at any of them, at least not yet. Let's try and be objective Federer fans shall we. ;)

I see what you're saying, but surely finals etc. are worth something if titles are tied.

Anyway, hopefully Fed himself can win AO 2015!

For sure they are but who besides obsessed tennis fans on tennis forums really cares about that? Historians look at tennis titles won so in that sense Federer is shared GOAT at three out of the four slams which is not bad.

Fair enough I suppose, although I could counter that us 'obsessed tennis fans' should know the best, as we know the most.
