Events like guys like Wawrinka and Cilic winning Slams happen a maximum of around 1-2 times per decade. We've already had our quota of these freak incidents for 2010-2020.

This year has been tumultuous, but if you take the long-view instead of hopping on the 'new generation' bandwagon, you will realize that order will be restored in 2015 for the next five years or so.

Djokovic will be more stable after settling down with his personal issues, and Nadal's wrist be be healed. Granted, Federer is not getting any younger, but Nadal and Djokovic by themselves should be able to easily prevent anyone else from winning any Slams for a good few years from now. Certainly for enough years that the guys in Cilic's generation (including Cilic himself) will have long retired before Nadal and Djokovic stop dominating the Slams.

I'm looking forward to order being restored from 2015 onwards - and here's to a good 5 years of 4 Nadal vs Djokovic Slam finals per year - those are the matches that we all watch tennis to see.
 
OP,if your intent is giving Nadal and Novak more majors, I am all for it.

But for the sake of humanity, let us not ask for any more Novak-Nadal matches.
 
"Freak incidents"? It has been pretty normal for quite a long period for outsiders to pick up big titles as well. It was merely the past decade being the exception to the rule.
Five another years of Nadal - Djokovic finals sounds - apart from being pretty hilarious - as the real death of tennis to me. A sport should evolve, move on, have fresh new faces in the top ranks.

OP is a youngster I guess...

This the first year that Nadal had problems even on clay and you believe that he would win Majors in a dominant way for another five years? In the past 9 years his dominant season are just three(2+ Slams) and he wont get better with age.
Djokovic too is showing signs of burning out, giving interviews that tennis is not number 1 anymore and this kind of stuff. So even if I believe that he would remain longer than Rafa I dont see him winning more than 1.5 slams per year. Federer obviosly is out of picture and Murray at this point is more likely to win 1-2 at best.

So your prediction is pretty crappy in my eyes. You dont to accept the fact that the things had changed. Younger guys are hungry for blood and they would take it sooner rather than later. I am even probably going to bet that in 2015 Nadal would win zero Slams.
 
LOL at 'freak incidents'. There were actually 8 different Slam winners in a row in the 2000-2002 time frame.
 
1998: Korda, Moya, Sampras, Rafter
1999: Kafelnikov, Agassi, Sampras, Agassi
2000: Agassi, Kuerten, Sampras, Safin
2001: Agassi, Kuerten, Ivanisevic, Hewitt
2002: T. Johansson, Costa, Hewitt, Sampras
2003: Agassi, Ferrero, Federer, Roddick

Look at all that variation. Only 1999 in the 1998-2003 period, has a player winning 2 majors in a calendar year.


Then:

2004: Federer, Gaudio, Federer, Federer
2005: Safin, Nadal, Federer, Federer
2006: Federer, Nadal, Federer, Federer
2007: Federer, Nadal, Federer, Federer
2008: Djokovic, Nadal, Nadal, Federer
2009: Nadal, Federer, Federer, del Potro
2010: Federer, Nadal, Nadal, Nadal
2011: Djokovic, Nadal, Djokovic, Djokovic

Amazingly few champions.


It's calmed down a little bit since:

2012: Djokovic, Nadal, Federer, Murray
2013: Djokovic, Nadal, Murray, Nadal
2014: Wawrinka, Nadal, Djokovic, Cilic

For the sake of the game, I sure hope so. Maybe one for Fed or Murray.

Those saying Djokovic isn't a popular champion, imagine if random guys start winning these slams more often... Nobody cares about Cilic, and nobody outside of Japan cares about Nishikori.

Can't tell if you're serious, not thinking straight or just trolling? Gotta think not serious/trolling as

1) Rafa and Djoko will share the next 20 slams between them (the 1-2 quota is used for this decade) - putting them at 24 and 17 respectively if we give them ten each?? Very likely outcome indeed.
2) Cilic, who's 2 years younger than Rafa and with a lot less mileage, will have retired long before Djokodal stops - not with tennis - but with their absolute dominance in the slams?

Sure.

Why do you guess that the OP (me) is a youngster?

The youngster would be the more likely to bandwagon - to get excitable and proclaim that Wawrinka and Cilic winning Slams has brought in a new era where more than 2 guys can win Slams.

However, I am taking the long view, that in the past, a couple of players have split ALL the Slams between them, and, going forward, those same two players will continue to do so.

Things are not changing, people just get too excitable.

I sincerely hope that Del Potro comes back strong and together with Cilic or whoever can display that kind of game that Cilic just displayed beat into submission all the grinders, who are camping 3 meters behind the baseline.

Especially at the US Open it is a fairly tasty possibility.

Sorry, but that is delusional. Nadal and Djokovic are 28/27, they are not going to be in every slam final for the next five years! Will they win a slam or two in 2015? Maybe. But they won't win "every" slam in 2015.
Having other players finally break through and win some slams is refreshing and much needed in this game.
 
Djokovic has lost his edge. Nadal will only win RG if any. The weak era is over, the dominance of the two one dimensional baseliners is over!
 
I don't see Cilic repeating his performance at the USO, but then again it wouldn't surprise me.

Other than that I'd say Djokovic, Wawrinka and maybe Berdych have a shot at the AO. Federer might still be in the mix too, although I get a feeling he might have his first QF exit there next year.

At Wimbledon, Djokovic, Federer and Dimitrov all have a good shot. Depending on how Murray is playing he has a good shot too.

At the USO, aside from my possible Cilic prediction, it's open for anybody to win. I can't predict a winner.

And Roland Garros, Nadal is the favorite no matter what until he loses.
 
Oh dear. You need to take a probability course.

For the record, I hope you're right, since seeing a Djokodal sweep is much better than ball-bashers playing lights out for a slam. But fate doesn't play to quotas. (Quotae?)

So Federer at the peak of his powers got destroyed by one-dimensional Djokovic on hardcourts and by clay-courter on grass?:lol:

Federer's peak was 2006. And he didn't lose to Djokovic that year. He lost 3 times on clay to Nadal, and to Nadal and Murray on Hardcourts. That's still better that losing to past-prime Federer at the French Open and being bageled by Nishikori like Djokovic was doing in his best year of 2011.
