279Seems like an actually really close one
Where was Fed at 6 years ago?
If Nole wins AO21 then he becomes the Fav.Nah, Imhotep ain't touching that one.
He already leads Fed at FO, at the USO he can overtake Feds 89 match wins. The contest will be at Australian Open and Wimbledon.... If Novak wins AO21 then will lead Fed 82 match wins to 75 at the same age/season.Depends on how long both guys will continue playing. I doubt this is a record Nole is interested in.
When Fed and Pete were tied at 7/7 the match wins gave Fed the edge. If Novak can lead Fed at 3/4 or 4/4 that will be another feather taken from Feds cap and put in Noles.Nadal clearly the best big match player. That’s all this scenario proves
The contest at Australian Open is starting to get interesting. A victory for Nole at 2021 AO means he will lead Fed 82 Match wins to 75 at same age/season. Nole trails by 1 match win at Wimbledon only because he din't play 2020 WIMBLEDON.If my pitiful math skills are correct, if he was to win the next 9 majors and Federer were to have zero victories added to his total he would break the record at some point during Roland Garros 2023. That’s the soonest he could do it... seems a pretty big ask. We’ll see how his body holds up.
It’s not really interesting considering he’d still have to keep on winning there for multiple years afterwards to make up the numbers. Bump this thread up in 2 years time and then it might be interesting.The contest at Australian Open is starting to get interesting.

Novak went on a mental walkabout in for a year in portions of 2017-2018. He's also quit in 13 matches (6 in slams) and been defaulted in a slam. That's not exactly the hallmark of "consistency." Check out Rosewall, he blows away Novak in consistency over his career.Federer and Novak are 2 of the most consistent players ever in mens Tennis.

Wow do you have a high opinion of yourselfDjokovic could catch Fed certainly. Everything that Fed has achieved is a flag for Novak to capture. Federer passed records and let off the gas like anyone else would including Djo when he and if (depending on the particular record at the time)he does... Really nothing to see here but chasing and skimpy passing something. Doesn't automatically vault Djokovic ahead when you have a brain and can think for yourself. Unless of course you're one of those that relies on the stupidity of the public which is common here amongst quite a few Nadal and Djokovic fans alike. Not to mention haters masked as Peter Dick Sampras dovotees.

The truth will set you free.Wow do you have a high opinion of yourself
Paul Pierce yes a great player. Maybe top 25 ever. Here's the (R)eal Truth...Only one man is the truth

I don't know man... What if Novak wins 90+ matches at every single GS tournament?Nah, Imhotep ain't touching that one.
it seams that he already didSinner, if he can legalize his massage therapy.
Name Matches Entries M/EFed should have easy . He blew too many winnable matches though. He lost a host of matches where he actually outplayed his opponent most of the match
I mean we thought the same about Fed but the lure of BIG sponsor money adds another 18 months of “this dude shoulda retired” time for all the greats…. Like, why is Rafa still playing right now, really… Does he have any chance of winning any slam? Nope.At this point I doubt Novak surpasses Fed’s slam record, Novak will prob retire around 39/40 As soon as he is no longer competing for Majors.
So Fed retired with 369 wins at age 39 (almost 40)Fed is at 362 match wins in 4 majors, Nole is at 296. When all is said and done who will have more match wins at the slams?

He wants one more go at the FOI mean we thought the same about Fed but the lure of BIG sponsor money adds another 18 months of “this dude shoulda retired” time for all the greats…. Like, why is Rafa still playing right now, really… Does he have any chance of winning any slam? Nope.
I can respect that even if I can’t conceive his body holding up for 7 matches thereHe wants one more go at the FO
