Rafa probably has 2-3 French Opens left in him and maybe 1 US. Think he will end up a couple behind Federer at the end with Novak still a fair way back

Crazy_Bomber · July 14, 2018, 2:55pm

So 4 is nowhere near Nadal but 3 and Nadal is every chance of rocketing past him? Despite being older than Novak?

Federer 20 slam titles
Nadal 17 slam titles
Novak 12 slam tiles
you do the math

edit:
Kyrigos 0 slam titles in 10 years time this wont change.

Federer is only playing now because hes trying to stop Nadal from going past his slam record.

??? What? Do you know him? Did he tell you that? What rubbish. Roger is doing whatever he wants and simply loving life. Obviously loves the game but he has no problem taking large chunks of the year off, and good on him.

He is the GOAT and this won’t change. He has nothing to prove and I’d doubt he is only playing because of a grand slam count.

So did anyone watch the women’s final? Who won?

Kerber

4 unforced errors, are you kidding?

DIGGERS ARE YOU OK?

Crazy_Bomber · July 15, 2018, 1:44am

Looks like Diggers massaged her a bit too much…

Diggers · July 15, 2018, 5:06am

Sad face for Serena.

Eat sh*t, Spaniard lovers.

Diggers · July 15, 2018, 5:06am

I’m ok…

…now.

Crazy_Bomber · July 15, 2018, 5:08am

I think a good counselling session in the showers after the game would help both parties.

aboods · July 15, 2018, 5:08am

You can console yourself this afternoon with Fraaaaaaaaannnnnnkkkkkklllllliiiinnnnnnn!!!

alex.f.94 · July 15, 2018, 5:08am

Ive always liked djokovic. Especially as a kid, he made tennis interesting and exciting to watch. I think with age I appreciate nadals commitment and love for the sport, but fk is it boring watching him.

Diggers · July 15, 2018, 5:09am

That’s right. Tomorrow (or this afternoon) is another day.

IceTemple · July 15, 2018, 5:10am

That and all his little idiosyncrasies that irritate the pants off you.

alex.f.94 · July 15, 2018, 5:11am

If someone shaved nadals head during his sleep I reckon he’d never win another match of tennis.

Diggers · July 15, 2018, 5:13am

I’m waiting for an opponent to have the nuts to say “Hey chair maggot, he’s bouncing the ball 19x before every serve. How about I go take a pss break and whilst he’s waiting, he can bounce it as many times as he’d like because quite frankly, all this pre-serve gamesmanship is giving me the shts”.

alex.f.94 · July 15, 2018, 5:14am

Wouldn’t put it past Krygios
