Who will win the most slams from here on?

[Standaa]

I think it’s Nadal, just because of the annual certainty that is RG for him and his young age relative to Roger. Djokovic has more chances at the other 3 slams if he pulls himself together and comes back to a decent level, and still has a few more good years in him, but he’s the biggest question mark. Murray may come back strong, but he will not likely win more than one slam for the rest of his career, if at all.

 

[TheAverageFedererFan]

Nadal because of RG which could go on for a few more years. Maybe another slam if he is playing good.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Fedr

 

[Deleted member 756486]

Voted for Mury GOAT but it’s Nadal.

He’s pretty much locked to win RG this year and next year, he’ll probably win another USO along with that.

Wimbledon is a must win for Federer to preserve the slam record.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Nadal

 

[clout]

Probably Nadal since he's always going to be the fav at RG, and will still be among the top favs at the HC slams. That plus he's 5 years younger than Roger so that helps a lot moving forward as long as he remains healthy. I don't see Murray being a contender again, and with Roger, the mans 37 so his window is clearly smaller than everyone else's. Nole is the biggest wildcard, he's either going to have a Fedal-esque comeback or he'll never be competitive again, no one really knows atm.

 

[Mike Sams]

Most likely Nadal.
I can see Federer being fully rested and peaking for the Slams this season. With 3 months rest going into grass next month, he'll be fully healthy and dangerous at Wimbledon. If he wins Wimbledon, he'll take off another couple of months, play a few matches in Cincy and go hard at the USO. Great possibility that Federer could take Wimby/USO this year. I can see Nadal being good for another 2 RGs at the least. Although at his age, I'm not sure how much longer he can hold off guys like Zverev and Thiem who, when both are in form, are showing how to crack Nadal's clay dominance. It's no secret that big hitting off both wings even on clay can hurt Nadal. We'll see if those 32 year old legs can keep this abuse up over the next 2-3 years. I could see Nadal with another 2 RG's and another USO.

37 doesn't mean as much as it used to for the fact that Federer is skipping huge chunks of the season and is fully rested and peaking for the Slams. With the best physios around and a very reduced schedule, he's showing his best stuff when it really counts. It seems athletes these days are defying age and evolving past what we once thought was impossible. Not sure yet about Djokovic. But very interested to see what he does.

 

[Phoenix1983]

Nadal.

But it won't quite be enough to surpass Federer, the GOAT.

I'm sure Fed is still going to be very competitive until the day he retires, but still, at this age stringing 7 straight best of 5 wins against players that are 10+ years your junior is a very daunting task (same goes for Rafa). Overall though, as long as players like rafa and roger remain motivated and healthy, I think they can still hold off these young guns for the foreseeable future. If I had to rank them in terms of whos going to win the most slams moving forward, I'd say Rafa, then Roger, then Novak, and finally Andy.

 

[mossi]

If Novak back to top 5 this year, Novak!

 

[EloQuent]

Fedr over Nadal by a hair. My guess is that Nadal wins maybe 2 more FO, but doubt he's playing at 35, or is competitive again for HC slams. Djokovic is done, maybe one last run. Murray is a wreck.

Fedr could be done, or he could win until his 40s. He's already broken the mold on longevity.

 

[Plamen1234]

Zverev or Shapo.Now from the Big 4 , I really hope it is Federer but I dont think this is very likely.He must win Wimby every year until he becomes 40 plus another 2 HC slams at least - very hard task,almost impossible

 

[Deleted member 77403]

At the moment it looks like Nadal...but if Federer wins just one more slam, IMO, slam race is over. Nadal is not getting 22 slams from this point. He is not winning six slams after his 32nd birthday.

What if Nadal wins RG but Federer doesn’t win Wimbledon? Seems unlikely but could happen...

Could you imagine a Fedal final at the USO to decide who wins the slam race? That would be #epic, has to be Federer winning in 5 again though.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Slam chase is still on. But Federer can still win any of the coming USO or AO to seal the deal. Wimbledon naturally his chances are greater to end it once and for all IMO.

Very critical time coming up for Nadal, if he wants to keep the chance alive. RG is a MUST win, otherwise it is done and dusted...he will not win any of the remaining slams if he fails at RG. And he needs Federer to lose W. If Federer gets 21 slams, I think that's it.

 

[Standaa]

I still think Djoko should try to find the motivation in him to surpass or at least equal Pete’s Slam count. That will significantly improve his status in the history book.

That would be too good for words

 

[tennis_crazy]

Amazing how people get carried away looking at Nadal's performance on clay. Let's see how he plays outside of it. Suddenly every part of his body could get injured.

I think it will be something like,
Djokovic - 3
Nadal - 2
Fedr - 1
Murray - 001

Federer soon to be a 37 year old is still playing the full schedule exluding clay. If Nadal reduces his schedule to one clay Masters and RG, he could be still collecting RG titles at 35-36.

But Djoker is the Joker here? If he gets back there are no more HC-slams for Fedal. That leaves maybe another Wimbledon for Fedr, and a maximum of 2-3 more FO's for Rafa.

Yeah, I doubt Nadal does that. He will not put all his eggs into one basket. One failure at RG, one slip up, one bad day under bad conditions, and it's all gone up in smoke. So, I don't think he does that. Too risky.

 

[Deleted member 756486]

Murray will win Wimbledon again, I’m sure of it.

Fairytale ending for the GOAT. MONNNN.

Yes, Djokovic is around, but I am going to wait until I am certain he is ready to win slams again. At the moment, he is not, but he is returning back to the top. For now, the world belongs to Fedal.

 

[Standaa]

Not RG alone, but all Slams besides Wimby + one warm-up event for each, the other 3 Slams are too far apart, plus he doesn’t need more Masters. It’s unlikely he does that, but it could be working for him.

 

[Robert C]

Most people on here seem to suffer from recency bias, however someone is playing right now is assumed to carry on. I’d go for Djokovic of the big 4 to win the most from now.

Nadal is the ultimate confidence player, he needs to be getting on a winning roll, this is what separates him from Federer. Federer can snap into it immediately, Nadal needs to build up the momentum. Playing three slams, and with just one warm up event is simply not enough for him. He will keep playing until he cannot play anymore, and each year, the mileage will keep piling up.

If he and Federer split RG and W, as many predict, the slam gap is still four. Five years ago, when Nadal was 27, the slam gap was four...he has lost precious five years and made zero inroads.

 

[Jonas78]

Hard to say. I dont think Fedal will win any more HC slams. The field is getting stronger (on HC) and Fedal is getting older.
Fedr might win another W
Rafa will probably win 2-3 more FO's
Djoker and Murray are Impossible to predict.
So safe bet is Rafa, but gut feeling says Nole.

 

[EloQuent]

Recency bias is what makes people think 35 is the new 25. But it isn't. Only one other player in the history of the open era won multiple slams aged 32+.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Fedal won the last three HC slams between them, so to say all of sudden they are not winning any is the other extreme end.

I won’t lie, i’d be disappointed if Nadal got another USO.

Is the tour really that weak? Is USO really that slow?

Sadly, I think the answer to both is yes.

Yeah i know. But Rafa Isn’t getting another USO17 draw and is soon 32y. Fedr is soon 37y old. I just think we are very close to the point where these guys Isn’t winning slams anymore, at least outside their fav surface.

 

[EloQuent]

Who wins this year's us open is an interesting question. If Federer keeps healthy he can make a go at it, or maybe Cilic or Delpo. Or maybe Zverev finally gets it together.

Mury shocks the world, wins USO then goes onto win the CYGS in 2019, securing himself as the GOAT once and for all...

Sorry, got a little carried away with my fantasies.

 

[ATPtennisFan]

Federer or Djokovic if he gets back to good form.Nadal has a lock on French but will be beaten elsewhere easier and he won't continue to luck out with his US Open draws.

 

[titoelcolombiano]

I think Rafa is a great chance for RG next year but not as hot a favourite as in other years and I wouldn't count any sort of certainty after that as he continues to age. I think if he's ever going to win another AO it is next year, I don't think he'll win Wimby again and if he is to win another US Open his chance is this year and next year. After 2019, he may jag another RG but it is no certainty.

Fed - who knows. He is already defying all odds and expectations winning three slams after the age of 35. He seems ageless but you would have to think that it will hit soon. I think he is good for Wimby this year. If he is to win another US Open I think it would have to be this year. Depending on Djoker's form he may have one more chance for another AO next year and I don't think he'll win another RG, he may in fact be done playing RG altogether.

Djoker - If he can get back into form, the tour is still there for the taking. I think Djoker has the potential to win any of the slams in the next two years and then the ability to jag another one or two in 2020 - 2021. The problem with Djoker is converting dominance into multi-slam years. I think if he looked back on his stunning career, he would love to have converted more of the 2012 - 2014 years into multi-slam years.

Muzz - who knows. His injuries seem worse than any of the ATG-3 have experienced. If he ends up retiring, at least he retires as the GOAT

Like for the last sentence. Couldn't have said it better.

 

[tennisaddict]

I think all of the big 3 win 2 more from here.

Zverev, Cilic and Delpo are going to win HC majors. They would be helped by Shaps, Tiafoes, Khachanovs and Rublevs who have the potential to cause upsets

 

[mika1979]

This can change quickly, with his schedule Fed as he currently is the best against the field, he could do another 2 3 slam years. Nadal next probably 3-4 more the RGs are a lock and he can jag a hard court one. Djokovic not many with his play now, however if he picks it up in the second half of this season he could put the other two to the sword. I did see enough against Nadal for optimism regarding this.

All of the above depends on the next champ coming up, which Zverev is favourite to be. If he becomes number one and wins a few, the other guys go away in the next 2 years.

 

[onehandbh]

I didnt say It was strong. Can't get any worse than 2017 though. And as i say, Fedal is getting older, and i dont expect Rafa to have Rogers longevity.

Delpo, Cilic, hopefully Djoker and Murray. And NextGen are getting better; Zverev, Shaps, Kyrgios.

 

[Zebrev]

Djokovic. He will win at least 3 more slams. Federer and Nadal have only one left at the most IMO.

 

[ChrisRF]

Nadal.

Is 45 the big changing year in every century from now on?

 

[Enceladus]

Murray no more GS tournament wins. His injuries are worse than Federer, Nadal and Djokovic have ever faced. No one who has undergone a hip surgery has returned to its TOP level. Murray is a defensive player relying on a great move, but he will not be so good.
Another unfavorable factor is that he broke up with Lendl. Without Lendl, the GS tournament has never won.

 

[onehandbh]

Is 45 the big changing year in every century from now on?

Yes.

That will also be a transition year for the Xi Dynasty.
