At what age did Federer and Nadal get to 17 slams? Djokovic is now 32 with 16 slams. Nadal got his 17th at the 2018 Roland Garros (turned 32 during the event) Federer got his 17th at the 2012 Wimbledon (30, turning 31 the following month) So, Djokovic is behind both of them, regarding age and slams won, that is. Federer lost a few years due to a serious knee injury, no? I think he can still another one or two.

Bias aside, I think Novak will finish with the most slams.
On hard courts, Roger/Del Potro are probably his biggest opponents and Federer isn't going to be around much longer/Delpo is never healthy. Clay will remain Rafa's but I think Thiem/Novak can sneak a RG in the next five years. Grass can be a toss up especially with how slow it is and how well Rafa has been playing on it.
I think has the physical prowess to stay on court, if he wants to, at a later age than Federer.

Nadal and Djokovic are essentially on par with one another. Djokovic is born in late May '87 and Nadal early June '86.

Congrats bigfan you went 1 for 3 in your called it posts! @avid are you as shocked as me that Halep now has a second major, and that second comes from demolishing the goat on the grass of SW19?? One break point faced, is insane, even for how poorly Serena played. Congrats to Simona, no longer a one slam wonder! Men's final tomorrow, either way, tennis wins (thanks Roger!) I called Halep too

All majors should not be decided by a tie breaker in the 5th. Let em play till somebody wins by 2.

Fatther time federer (38) and injuiries (Nadal extremely physical play) will allow the joker to eventually surpass them both. All things equal Nadal and fed are the best of all time regardless of the most majors won.. Center courts and wimbledon and paris will eventually be renamed

I called Halep too That Halep call is the 1 you got right out of 3, the other two were Nadal beating Federer and Nadal winning Wimbledon, which was in a separate thread. 😉 Big props to you though, I don’t think many were expecting Halep to take home the dish. I wasn’t even sure she’d reach the QF’s haha. I sincerely hope you put a bet on her!

You originally picked Nadal to beat Federer, and you also picked Nadal to win Wimbledon in another thread. You didn’t pick anyone between Djokovic and Bautista agut. So again you’re originally 1 for 3.

Post Wimbledon, the WTA’s top 4 consists of the last four major champions, maybe Pliskova will get it together for a fortnight and win the Open at the end of the summer? Would make her current #3 ranking feel more legitimate. ATP stays the same at the top, but three players make the top 10 for the first time.
