Will Nadal will 47 slams in his career or more, or not that that many?

[Sudacafan]

Confirmed. Nadal is winning +/- 47 slams with a great confidence interval.

 

[Robert Baratheon]

It's like discovering the Fist of the First Men Sh1tpoast of the First Sh1tpoasters.
It's great to see that tee tee dublu had these trademark ttw threads even back then in 2006.

40 is doable. 47 is a tall ask

It took him how many years to reach 19? Guess if he plays until he's 45, he might have a shot.

Why is the OP banned? She seems nice

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

Let’s settle for 32.

 

[DSH]

How about the half of it, is that enough for him?

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

He would have, if coronavirus didn't happen.

 

[megamind]

He would have, if coronavirus didn't happen.

It is very unfortunate for him

Gettin' there.

How many slams shy is he of 47?

 

[Dilettante]

How many slams shy is he of 47?

I don't know. 3 or 4.

 

[Vcore89]

27 left to conquer.

 

[Sudacafan]

He will win 47 Rolling Garrotes, or maybe more.
The last one of which will come in the same year he achieves integral baldness.

 

[Sudacafan]

He will still win slams at 47.

More like a stroll through the park, than a conquer

The only thing failing with him is the transplant

 

[Dan Lobb]

Who is going to stop him? There are at least two missing generations of tennis champions following the Big Three.

My apologies, poor choice of word.

Did he went to Harley Street Hair Clinic for the procedure? If he did, then there's nothing more that can be done.

And now, it's a two-way race between him and Rodge to the 21st Grand Slam of their respective careers. Perhaps Nole takes the AO, Rafa the RG, and Rodge clinches Wimby [add to that a singles Olympic gold] and USO, plus the ATP Finals in 2021, then retires whilst Rafa stays on until he collects all 47 grand slams that he is supposed to amass.

Nadal pulled out of Wimbledon. I'm starting to get nervous about this.

Don't worry, will come back stronger in 2022. It's only 27 slams to win, pretty easy task.

It's practically done. It's Cincy a Slam already?

Probably not, but I've heard ATP Barcelona is under consideration.

M-C, Barca and Rome are all made slams retroactively to go along with The Real Slam and those paltry two-week exhos in Melbourne, Paris, London and NYC. That puts The Nadal way past 47, no?

That's very true.
In 15 years people will be laughing at irrelevant Melbourne International, ITF Roland Garros, AELTC Outdoors and New York Cup.
Shame on those players who are chasing these Mickey Mouse trophies nowadays.

Yes, what a waste of precious talent by making them win one more set than a regulation match just so Joe Kovic can yell to the throngs the immortal words of The Spaniard, “Are you not being entertained?”

 

[Sudacafan]

47 slams will be the norm for the GOATs of the future.
Sports medicine advances will have players competing at their highest into their late fifties.

In 15 years there may be less tennis than now if we dont do the right things.

To put Nadal's (and Federer's and Djokovic's) career into perspective, the OP wrote this when she was 26. Now she is 41 (God bless her wherever she is) and Nadal is stilll going strong.

Amazing.

Simple arithmetic. Laver won 2 Grand Slams, Nadal has won 20 Grand Slams....Nadal must be ten times as good as Laver.

Now this is the power of science!

 

[Noleberic123]

Sampras had great competition. Even though I am a big Nadal fan I admit he plays a bunch of losers like Federer, Hewitt, Roddick, Safin, Nalbandian, peopel that just suck. The up and comers like the two french players, Berdych, Ancic, all suck too. That is not his fault, he is awesome too, how awesome he is and the lossers he plays again equals up to alot of titles.

Sampras also was not nearly as good with his groundstrokes, movements, fitness, or return of serve as my Nadal. Samprwas was a great player but Nadal is better at all baseline shots and just more endurance and fit an athlete.

Lol, that's my girl.

 

[Noleberic123]

He won't get by Agassi's number.

Nice prediction bro

 

[stringertom]

Lol, that's my boy SoBad

FTFY

[Sentinel]

At this rate, Djokovic might reach 47 slams before Nadal.

This threat should be in the GPPD section, no ?

 

[Third Serve]

he’s almost halfway there!

Now it's just downhill.

25 more to go!

I am taking the over on half of 47.
