Rafa wins 2 more French, and a hard court slam somewhere. Probably US Open. He finishes with 23.

Roger MAYBE one more Wimbledon if he doesn't have to face Djokovic in the draw.

Djokovic will outlast Nadal, so it just depends on his ability to hold off the younger generations of players. I could see him reaching anywhere from 20 to 25. I'll say the possibility of him catching and passing Rafa keeps him motivated, and he ends up with 24.

Very possible. Although Djokavic is only a little younger than Rafa I believe.

Novak is due for a slump or injury at some point that's the nature of the beast. Plus it's hard to play from behind when you keep aging. Rafa 23. Novak 21. Federer 21.

Fed is done at 20
Rafa wins the French once more so 21

Djok wins 2 more Australians, a Wimbledon, a US open and retires after winning the French
22 for the GOAT

Nadal gets 22 and Djok gets 23.

Ultimately not sure if history will crown a consensus GOAT between the 3. It might end up being that Nadal = GOAT on clay, Fed = GOAT on grass and Djok = GOAT on hard

What indication do we have that this guy won’t win 3 more? He’s 100-2 there and he just had his easiest trip ever.

2 more titles at Roland Garros.

I think Djokovic has 2 more prime seasons band picks up 3 majors. Then one more season where he can strategically pass Federer.

7 more majors from a 33 year old? Not buying it.

Based only on this tournament, very little. But he's 34. And clay is considered a young man's surface. Now Rafa on clay is a different animal....he's obviously just fricking amazing on dirt in all kinds of different ways, but I can certainly see a 29 year old Thiem beating a 36 year old Rafa.

This scenario is certainly not my favorite, but is very possible

That's tricky. I think prime Novak beats prime Fed on grass.


Prime Pete might as well.

Until someone dominates Wimbledon like he does he's the grass GOAT period imo. Took an all time great match to stop his run from Rafa.

Djokovic - 23
Nadal - 22
Federer - 20

Nadal will win two more French Opens giving him 15 French Open Titles and one more than Sampras had total for Grand Slams in his career.
