There's been a lot of talk recently of how many slams Djokovic could win in the next few years and when he will decline. So I pose the question: By the end of his career, do you think Djokovic fall short of, equal or overtake Nadal and Federer's slam count?

I predict he definitely won't equal or overtake Federer's record of 17. The most I see him getting by the end of his career is a further 6, which would put him 1 short of Federer (assuming Federer doesn't win another, which is an extremely good assumption at this point). However, I think it's difficult to predict if he will fall short of, equal or overtake Nadal's record of 14. I've gone with falling short by 1, but I think it's possible also that he could equal it (this is also assuming Nadal won't win another, which is a reasonable assumption, though he could make a comeback at the French this year). Overtaking Nadal might be a bit of a stretch though. If Djokovic was 1 year younger, I would say he'd almost certainly overtake Nadal.
 
If he falls short by 1 from Nadal then it means either:

mayhem

or

both will sweep (almost) evrything from now till at least end of 2017

Nadal is not done yet, so, there.

I take it you're a Nadal fan? All the signs are pointing towards Nadal's career being over, at least in terms of slam wins. If he performs poorly at the French this year, his career is 100% over.
 
I am 100% certain he is passing Nadal (or atleast tieing if Nadal somehow wins #15). I see Djokovic ending between 15 to 19 slams. He could catch or overtake Federer but that is more uncertain. I am absolutely certain of him catching/overtaking Nadal in slam titles.

Yes, I am one of his biggest fans (don't mind some people here badmouthing my passion).

I passionately want you to be right with your last sentence, but I don't see it.

He is a great player and is able to win more.
