Who will beat Roger's record of consecutive slam appearance

[roysid]

As you all know (unless you were in Mars the last few weeks), Roger withdrew from French and thus his wonderful record of consecutive 65 grand slam appearances came to an end.

That means an whooping 16 years and 1 quarter of grand slams played. Amazing.

The question is, who will break this record. Yes even such magnificent record is under threat.

1. Will it be Feliciano Lopez
2. Will it be Novak Djokovic
3. Or will it be Tomas Berdych

 

[Sartorius]

It's a great streak, but the number means more in context. Lopez can break it for instance in 2 or so years, but then you would have Fed with 65 including a bunch of wins, finals, semis; and you would have Lopez with the "record" but not nearly as much to show for.

1. Will it be Feliciano Lopez
2. Will it be Novak Djokovic
3. Or will it be Tomas Berdych

How many are they on?

 

[roysid]

Feliciano (Age:34): 57 ( Just need to be fit enough for 2 and half years)
Djokovic (Age:29): 46 (he need to play all GS for next 5-6 years)
Berdych (Age:30): 51

And Verdasco (Age: 32) is at 52. And the next active player on the list is Garcia Lopez at 46

I think eventually some of them will break Roger's record if they keep playing, not all (because when you're reaching your end of career, injuries will occur more.)

But who will be the ultimate winner, have to see

Let's face it, out of all his records, this one is the most worthless.

 

[OhYes]

Let's face it, out of all his records, this one is the worthless.

Nothing against OP, but I'm kind of tired seeing all these meaningless stats.

Bernie Tomic will beat the record.

Let's face it, out of all his records, this one is the most worthless.

This is the Cal Ripken record. And it means that you stay fit and focused to play basically everyday.

That means an whooping 16 years and 1 quarter of grand slams played. Amazing.

It is amazing. And on top of that, he has very few injury withdraws from any tournament in his career.

 

[kishnabe]

Lopez, most likely.

 

[Surion]

This is the Cal Ripken record. And it means that you stay fit and focused to play basically everyday.

Umm...no.

 

[r2473]

Umm...no.

What does it mean?
