Will Nadal and/or Djokovic have more titles than Federer?

[tennis_error]

Well, we had many thread about Federer winning more titles than Connors who is the record holder with 109 titles.
Now we have our answer, NO, Federer won't break that record.

But, lets see if Nadal and/or Novak will have more titles than Federer.
Nadal is closer at 92 titles, and Novak is on 90 (edited 08 Jan 2023 - 92) titles.

Please vote
Poll will be closed in a week.

Novak will pass Nadal but Novak will not pass Roger

Final order: Fed, Djo, Ned

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

I think fed will keep this record actually. Novak and Rafa are struggling to win more best of 3 events so it will be difficult to get near the 103 mark. The smaller the tournaments are hard to win for djokodal and the slams are about to get even tougher as well.

I don't think Novak will play that many smaller tournaments until his career end.

joker is playing some apt250 to make up some points. if joker play tennis till ago of 40, he will get more titles. but i guess the key is that title count is not very important. joker and nadal are racing for more majors.

I doubt it.

Edit:

Novak wins 89th title, 02 Oct 2022, he's now at minus 14 titles to catch Federer
Nadal at 92 titles.
Federer at 103 titles.

If Novak stay healthy and play 3 more years including 2025 he can reach 100 titles. That's about 3 titles per year. Probably 90 on the end of 2022. Honestly i think he don't care about that record, neither Nadal.

 

[Fabresque]

All 3 are behind Connors so it really doesn’t matter to any of them. None of the B3 holds that outright record.

 

[Deleted member 629564]

Alcaraz will beat them all.

 

[Hitman]

This one is actually going to be difficult for both.

 

[BrooklynNY]

I think Novak just just keep this run of playing 250s if he can't play everywhere and just rack up titles like in Tel Aviv this week, haha

 

[DSH]

For Nadal to reach the remaining 8 titles that are missing from the 100 he will have to play and win at least half of that amount in ATP 250 tournaments.
Only then will he be able to do it.

 

[GhostOfNKDM]

Donno, but I hope both of them brake for critters.

 

[MadariKatu]

This is one record that I've been thinking for some time as "either Federer takes it from Connors, or nobody will". Same with match wins. Unfortunately, Fed couldn't do it because of the knee, and it still wasn't a sure thing, had the knee been ok (except match wins, that was a given, if he could play).

 

[LETitBE]

For Nadal to reach the remaining 8 titles that are missing from the 100 he will have to play and win at least half of that amount in ATP 250 tournaments.
Only then will he be able to do it.

he will have to play ten 250's then?

 

[DSH]

Edit:

Novak wins 90th title, 09 Oct 2022, he's now at minus 13 titles to catch Federer.
Nadal at 92 titles.
Federer at 103 titles.

 

[Sudacafan]

I don't quite understand this poll. Would "brake" 103 would actually mean that they press the brake pedal and stop at 103?

 

[juanparty]

From October 2018 to today he has won 19 titles, if he decided to break it he would almost without hesitation, but I don't think he is interested in that record, so much so that he has only won 11 250's titles, only the majors matter now, the only one who was interested in that record was Feddy who has 25 titles 250

 

[Midaso240]

The definitely both could, but I don't think it's a high priority. I mean, if Djokovic had played the USO he wouldn't have played (and won) these 2 tournaments in the last couple of weeks

 

[Fabresque]

It’s not a priority for the Big 2 as them + the third wheel are chasing Connors anyways. The only one interested was the third wheel because all his other records got smashed by the big 2.

I think Federer has always been more motivated by money or is more of a businessman than the Big 2. He got huge appearance money from small tournaments once he made his name in 2003-2007 and it was probably hard for him to refuse. I know that small tournaments Iike the LA Open were willing to offer him $2M as appearance fees even 12-15 years ago and he would ask for even more to accept. I don’t think Djokovic and Nadal got those kind of tempting offers to play small tournaments.

New tournaments might throw big appearance money at the Big 2 in the future and while Nadal might refuse hard court offers, we might see Djokovic playing in more small tournaments.

Does people here now what definition of record is? Record is 109 title. Why would he chase 103? Real record by Federer is 8 Wimbledon's, 6 WTF, 237 week's...

Edit:
Novak is on a winning spree... 92 titles...
Equals Nadal...
"Only" 11 more to equal Federer...

I remember Federer promoting Istanbul 250 6-7 years ago, think he got a million to play and this was held right before Madrid masters.

Interesting how things are changed since OP started the poll.I would say for Novak its 60-40 to do it and these 40% are mainly due to outside factors,health,ban etc.If healthy and allowed i am sure he will surpass Fed even if he don't aim it.
For Nadal it's game over.At the very very best he will only surpass Lendl 94.
