No Wimbledon Thread?

I'm just happy Nadal is out. Likable kid and great tennis player and all..... but I don't like fact he's threatening Fed's career Grand Slam record almost on French Opens alone.

If his body holds out I think Nadal will end up with more slams than Federer.

I think they will defo go down as 1 and 2 in greatest all time list (Djokovic could even threaten that) but given Fed's record across all surfaces I'd put him ahead

I think you're right. On French Opens alone, Nadal should be able to catch Fed on the alltime list. I don't see anyone threatening Rafa on clay anytime soon. It's almost become a psychological thing. What? I'm facing Nadal in the French Open? I'm doomed.


You're right on Djokovic as well. He's young (like Nadal), and the only threat I see to him winning a handful of more majors is Murray.... and I still don't know whether Murray has the mental resolve to be much of a threat.


Fed's # 1 as far as I'm concerned also. He's held more records for longer time than anyone else.... and if you look at the historical ATP rankings, he's come back from being unseated at # 1 to reclaim the spot not just once, but on several ocassions throughout a long time period.
