Would Nadal have tied or broken Federer's slam record without Djokovic 2.0

[abmk]

guess you missed the 2010 USO final

You mean peak nadal vs nole 1.0, who was recovering from a slump and just had his first top 10 win that year? No, I didn't miss it. Peak novak > peak nadal on any HC

I love it .....the "peak" argument rears it's head.

Federer takes 2011 AO and 2012 Wimbledon, still. Has a decent chance to beat Nadal in the 2011 US Open final. So that's 2-3 Slams since 2010 which would put him at 18-19 now.

Nadal takes 2011 Wimbledon and a decent chance for 2011 US Open. 2012 AO - 55/45 between him and Murray.

So that's another 2-3 Slams since 2010 which would put him at 13-14 currently.

The only question is - would Nadal still get "injured" after the FO and miss 8 months of tennis if it wasn't for Djokovic who forced him to his maximum in so many matches?

Federer wil take AO 2008 also.

 

[Sky Fire]

He would be at 13 or 14 and Federer would be at 18 or 19 so Nadal would still be quite far from tieing or breaking the slam record. Also dont forget the wear and tear that Djokovic has caused on Nadal's body which made him miss 2 slams and has probably shortened his career by a year or two, probably more.

 

[Lukhas]

Let's see... Nadal missed USO 11 and AO 12 due to injury, and it wasn't Djokovic's fault if he got out early at Wim 12. Remove those 3 slams and we only have 5 slams left. So it means that Nadal at 10 slams in early 2011 would've tied Federer at 16 slams. And even without those injuries, I also doubt he could've managed the CYGS or won 3 slams a year twice. So no IMO. Djokovic was clearly not playing as good in 2010 than he did in 2011 either, if we're only talking about Djokovic 2.0.

Well he tied and broken it.Back in 2013 however it wasn't expected by many Novak to surpass them both.
