Dude, 2 months ago when he had 18 majors you said he wouldn’t win off clay? That equates to 7 more French Opens. Let’s gravitate to a middle ground.

Well, he is really in a good spot.

Djokovic is really injury prone and Fed is just really old. There are no other great players right now - and Nadal is so much better on clay than everyone else, how does he lose there in the next few years (if he’s healthy?)

BTW, KJ, I’m just giving you friendly ****.

Hey I’m just glad I have someone to talk tennis with! None of my friends care about it.

How about Bianca? This year came out of nowhere. Hopefully she doesn’t get complacent. Go Canada!

Well, Thiem, Joker and a few other young guys will have a say. Just takes one bad match even if he’s the best and seems almost unbeatable on that surface.

IF I’m guessing Nadal wins 2 or less majors from this point on.

Unreal to beat Serena that soundly in her first slam final at such a young age. I would have lost my home on that.

Ive never been a Fed fan. But very early on I told my wife (who played high school tennis and loved Evert and loves tennis) honey come watch the greatest to ever play the game. This was early on in Fed’s career but I’d never seen anything like it.

It was inevitable 10 years ago he would be the best ever.

As much as I would love for Nadal to pass him, it almost doesn’t seem right for anyone other than Federer to hold the most majors. IF he ends up somehow with less I’d honestly feel for him. Seemed like it was always just a given and his destiny. Chances are he remains on top but **** it’s become as interesting as Sampras chasing Laver, Emerson and Borg.

She pummels the ball. Serena probably hasn’t contended with that much power in awhile.

It boggles the mind that Serena won her first slam before Andreescu was even born. But yeah she basically out Serena’ed Serena. It’s a little sad seeing her and Fed get old, but it’s hard to say they should hang it up because there are still only a handful of players that are their equals. I think Fed is showing his age a little more than Serena. I don’t see either winning another Slam. Rafa and maybe Djoker will pass him but all of them at their absolute peak, give me Fed.

A whole lot of wrong in this post.
