14 slams, #15 may be guaranteed, and #16 could be possible in the same year.

But some say and still argue that Roger is still the greatest of all time. However, it seems that his slam days are over at 17, and Rafa is catching up very fast, and he's only 28. Time will only tell whether Rafa is actually the greatest tennis player of all time, if he ever wins 4 slams in the next two to three years.

Yes he is. Plus he's kind of hot

The hottest one.
but Fed is greater

I guess we'll have to reconsider this question of life by Rio

Yes!

Easily.

Slams is omlu a part of the game, If rafa gets to 17 or over that it'll be because of 11 or 12 RG crowns, HE HAS NEVER BEEN DOMINANT IN ANOTHER SURFACE

He is a WONDERFUL tennis player, in the top 4 all time, and the ONLY KING OF CLAY, but there's more to that than just slams

For example he'll NEVER reach roger's 302 weeks at #1, wich is a remarkable number

He'll never reach roger's 6 World Tour Final Crowns

He'll Never reach the consistency that allowed roger to hold the record for most GS finals in a row(10) more semifinals in a row(22) more quarterfinals in a row(36)

He'll never get to at least 10 titles in every surface

He probably won't end the year as number 1 anymore, his style of play has damaged his body way too much, and the sad thing is that rafa CAN play more offensive but he just won't

serena williams is better

not when she doesn't even know how to slice a ball, how to volley or how to successfully hit top spin

Novak = Rafael >>>>>>>>>> Roger (he might have more trophies, but he has shown his true face after the feud with Wawrinka)

I love Rafa, he's my favorite tennis player and my babe but I think Roger is still the greatesr. You're right tho, time will tell.

Actually whatever attitude you might find "inaproppiate" from today's top tennis players is not even COMPARABLE to how spoiled and ruthless players were in the 70s and the 80s, and that hasn't affected their legacy

Novak is known for losing it every now and then and smashing rackets and acting like a brat, That won't affect his legacy, roger has only smacked one raquet since he became a top player(he did it more often before his breakthrough) but he sometimes gets easily heated at umpires

And well rafa is a prime example of court behavior, but not everybody is so naturally calmed


I don't think rafa will ever be considered the greatest, however, he has the strongest mindset the game has ever seen, and that's a fact.

Federer is still the greatest of all time in my opinion. A few more slams, though, and it becomes interesting.

Nadal's forehand is definitely legendary and one of the best ever.

yes becasue he worked with Shakira in the video Gypsy

do you actually watch tennis or? Cuz you're sounding very uneducated in it.

What kind of 13x doubles slam champ, 3x doubles gold medal, and 5x Wimbledon champ doesn't know how to volley, slice, or topspin?

I won't even go into her single accolades but like

Serena's groundies have been heavy topspins since the FO12, even I know that

Ewww no

oops
