I've seen many members on this forum claim that 'Prime-Nalbandian' or 'Prime-Federer' can preform the greatest tennis of all time. I'm sorry, but that's just not true at all. The actual GOAT when he's playing his very best is Novak.

He's about to break the world record for the greatest year of all time - he's probably only going to lose once if you consider his already overwhelming style of play. He's just started to reach his peak, so imagine what he's going to be like in a few months. I'm guessing that he's going to win 10+ slams, and if he's somewhat lucky, he'll surpass Federer. By the end of next year, we'll probably have another individual who has won the year-round grand slam.

So, now I ask you all: will Novak go down as the GOAT?

I think this adds an interesting perspective.

You mean Yoda coming back as another user, or what exactly :D

Yoda is already the GOAT with his unprecedented 5-0 H2H over Rafa. Remember, that H2H is all that counts, slam counts are only demonstrative of luck, weak eras, rigged draws etc.

This thread had value during Jan 2011 when Sir Neil had won his second. But now with him cleaning up the stables, it's a given that he'll surpass all records.

2011 is a weak era. New poly keyboards and Blackberry technology are making up for the lack of real talent. The most impressive H2H is Aykhan Mammadov's 7-0 over Federer, and he did it in the wood computers' era.

LMAO ! Great one ! I don't mean to ask for a spoiler, but did either of the above ever happen ? This could have a huge impact on Jokers inevitable 47.

Who cares, really? World is gonna end in 2012, so slam counting will end for everyone. I can't say if the end comes before of after US Open '12.

That makes Bernard Tomic the true GOAT... just think of all the slams he could've won if a meteorite didn't destroy the Earth. Theoretically, the number goes to infinity.

And Djoko's ashtma won't get better with all that smoke and ashes floating around.

Please be clear. I am an expert on this topic. It is one of Federer's shanked backhands that will swing around Pluto and come back to destroy the Earth. Unless Joker's failed tweener comes back before in which case there will be partial destruction due to earthquakes.

A meteorite melts or breaks up in the atmosphere and is largely ice (iirc). From where will the smoke and ashes come.
I thought it was a fictitious planet that has never been seen, which has an orbit that defies all science and gravitational theories, which will swing by causing a tidal wave of Fred's tears.

The truth of it is that Nadal can comfortably win an average of 2 slams per year for at least 8 more years. The French is guaranteed, and Wimbledon is very likely, with good chances at the Australian and US Open as well.

Let’s look at the next 8 years for Nadal. Clearly the French is guaranteed. Conservatively, Wimbledon is 50% chance for him and AO and USO hardcourts are 25% each. This is very conservatively. So very conservatively we have 8 x (1FO + .5W + .25AO +.25USO) = 16 more slams for a total of 26, so that’s the minimum for Nadal.

On the upside, you could say FO and W are guaranteed, and AO/USO are 75% chance each. And for 12 years instead of 8. Then its 12 x (1 + 1 + .75 + .75) = 42. Add to the existing 10 and we have a total of 52 slams for Nadal at the upper side of the estimation range.

8 more years at the French is taxing.....his physical ability decreases with age.
Though Wimbledon.....with right tactics he can still co dominate. AO and US open too difficult......he maye 1-2 more of each.

We will see....though.....No one in tennis had such long dominant periods of tennis except for Laver,Rosewall, Connors and Agassi(sorta).

In the modern era with the tennis be so physical....asking Nadal to win 1 slam after 2016 is too much....though he can do it. I don't think it is possible.

2012-15 I would say are his slam winning years.....after 2016 I can't see it happening. Plus the guy has to deal with Djokovic, Murray and good knows any guy who wants to step it up!

Unbeatable maths here.

Kids: watch and learn.
 
Novak certainly has achieved almost peak 2005 Nalbandian level of skill at times this year. If he can keep this up there is no reason to think he won't win at least 18-22ish slams by the end of his career.

BTW WTF05 Nalbandian > 2005 Peak Federer, and postpeak 2011 Federer is slightly inferior to 2011 peak Novak in Slams. So its easy to see that peak Nalbandian is slightly superior to peak Novak. This is disregarding the fact Nalbandian has a superior backhand.

Can get to 47, but will need to do it in a hurry; the Mayan calendar predicts that in December 2012 Donald Young destroys the earth, so next year is Nole's last chance for success.

Apart from the four he's already won, in 2012 he'll win all eight majors (Australian, French, Wimbledon, US Open, US Masters, British Open, US Open, & US PGA), plus an equivalent major for every gold medal he wins at the Olympics in men's singles, men's doubles, mixed doubles, women's singles, transgenders' mixed quadruples, and 8 swimming golds (beating Michael Phelps each time). That's 25, so winning Cincinnati next year would need to be worth 22 slams.

Luckily, it is.
 
My subjective impression is that Nadal is really starting to grow into his body, at this point, and I don't see the field challenging him at the French over the next 15 years or so, at all. Nadal is forecasted to stay active on the tour until at least age 40, so that's at least 15 more slams, not counting the Wimbledon titles (or hardcourt slams, for that matter), so that's already more than even Navratilova, by far.
 
I hear they're going to install bionic knees in Nadal and after which he will be playing well into his 60s.

I seee my Djokovic winning 47 slams. He will plays the next 15 years and win every French Open to give him 17 there. He will 2 out of every 3 Auastralian Open, US Open, and Wimbledons to give him 10 of each. I think that makes 47, yeah 15 + 10+10 +10 =47. So will my Djokovic win 47 slams in his career, or more, if you mean more vote yes. Wont he wint that on the other hand with 47 being too many. Vote your choice.

Exactly, he wont wint that.
 
What happened to the original thread regarding Nadal started by nadalgirl (currently posting by another name).

Thanks for the link, i looked but could not find. nadalgirl26 does not come up in members list. google does not show that page :(

It should be mandatory reading for new members, its part of TW history, so we don't have to keep explaining in-jokes like 47 slams, "a outrage, an scandal" and other such things.

Mandatory reading for sure!!!

I found it through the search function here, just typed 'nadalgirl' and got a whole list of threads!

btw, is nadalgirl posting now under the name 'nadal-slam-king', by any chance?:wink::wink:

Indeed. Used to be the height of hilarity to see how nadalgirl26's posts started all typo-ridden and then (as if on spelling steroids) suddenly morphed into well-formed English sentences with ridiculous implications.

Nothing like that these days. This is a weak era for trolls. nadalgirl26 would bash Lolville in straights, with one hand tied behind her back :).

Yes, nadalgirl26 is very much among us, in the person of NadalAgassi.

In light of recent events, I propose we seriously revisit this burning question.

Personally, I think Djokovic winning 47 slams depends.

Someone is really angry with my 2 thread bumps, and my thread about Djokovic defending WO. These 2 bumps happened absolutely accidentally while researching FOD's threads.

@Fiji ten slams is too few, you hater ;). There's just Nole and Murray left. They can split the remaining slams for the next few years, and toss the occasional one out to Stan.
