Who will be the first to win one slam 8 times?

[veroniquem]

Hopefully Nadal. 8 RG titles for 1 loss would be otherworldly and would be consistent with his other godly clay records.

 

[Ellipses]

Will Nadal's moment of truth come at RolandGarros2013, judging from his clay-court performances at Vina del Mar 2013?

Probably should have waited until Nadal actually, you know, won the tournament before using it as an exemplar.

 

[6-1 6-3 6-0]

Judgement day.

 

[6-1 6-3 6-0]

Looks like our question has been answered.

I suppose the only question now is, will RFederer even win a slam 8 times in his career?

If he defends his Wimbledon title in a few weeks

 

[Sorana fan]

History. Nothing else to say.

 

[mariecon]

convenient for Nads that the clay season comes before the grass season.

 

[6-1 6-3 6-0]

And the Max Decugis troll argument is now obsolete. :lol:

You think if the converse were true, that it would make a difference? :lol:

Hard-courts, RNadal's worst surface, are at the start of the year. Did that ever stop RNadal from dominating the clay-court season?

Grass-courts, RFederer's best surface, are after the clay-court season. Did that ever stop RFederer from dominating the grass-court season?

Read the title of this thread. You did start it didn't you? :roll:

Yes Nadal is the greatest Clay Courter of all time and one of the greats for all surfaces.

Deserved....so happy I was born in the era I can watch Fedal.

 

[6-1 6-3 6-0]

Read the title of this thread. You did start it didn't you? :roll:

Again, do you think the location of the grass-court season would make a difference?

You think RFederer is winning Wimbledon in his pathetic form? :lol:

 

[Disgruntled Worker]

More impressive than winning Roland Garros 8 times is LOSING ONLY ONCE in sixty matches!

 

[forzamilan90]

You think Nadal is winning it?

I think Nads will be taking another looooong break very soon.

 

[Bender]

I hate to admit this, but recently N_S_K here actually has had a lot of his outlandish predictions come true...

I'm not nadal_slam_king, but what makes you think any of these predictions were 'outlandish'?

well this one wasn't exactly a stretch after Nads won his 7th last year and RG comes before the grass season so chances are he would win his 8th before Fed would have a chance to win his 8th at Wimbledon. A chimp could have predicted this one.

 

[Backbored]

I think we have a winner.

 

[6-1 6-3 6-0]

A chimp could have predicted this one.

Evidently, you didn't even think RNadal would win Roland Garros 8 times (and by extension, be the first to win a slam 8 times)-

That's 3 now. The following people were wrong:

-RF-, 850beast, augustobt, cknobman, Clintspin, Cup8489, dudeski, GodNovak, Humblumb, imajica77, mariecon, MAX PLY, Murray2012, North, peRFection, R.Federer, swordtennis, vive le beau jeu !, Wuppy, xan, axel89, cookie1212, flyinghippos101, GasquetGOAT, Homeboy Hotel, jamauss, jk175d, Phoenix1983, TheModernEra, ThePerfectMan (unlike me).

[The Dark Knight]

I'd say Federer, remember Nadal is a cheater :wink:

Your a knob

 

[6-1 6-3 6-0]

Nadal was the first to win a slam 9 times, too.

 

[DSH]

Nadal was the first to win a slam 9 times, too.

And 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 too.
