It always comes down to if Halep can win cheap points on her serve against Serena. Her serve is normally food against Serena

Joker is already at 15 majors and he's still 32. If he stays healthy he might pass both Federer and Nadal.
He is a year younger than Nadal b. These dudes ain’t all going to be elite at 37 like fed.

I don't pay attention to the ATP tour, all I see are majors so call me a casual but Joker is raking up majors and he never stopped.. It's not like Fed who went 5 years without a major

I said in this thread before, joker could win Wimbledon and US open and end the year 1 major behind Rafa going into Aus open which he usually dominates! Look what he did to Rafa this year at Aus
It's crazy becuase if Fed wins Wimbledon it's just that 1 Major extra for them to chase and it makes it that little bit tougher for the other 2 but any of the other 2 winning it and the record grand slams is all for grabs. Nadal can easily win another 2 french opens taking him to 20, Novak can win any of the other surfaces another 4 times too. They could all end on 20

True but I saw some people bytchin on TV about this and the thing is I do see a lot of talent out there. I don't think this is a bad generation of players, I believe Nadal/Fed/Joker is a golden age of tennis. I believe we are witnessing something that will probably never happen again. 3 all-time legends a few years apart.
you look at the Sampras era and who was his biggest rival, Andre Agassi and while he was a fantastic player to watch he had a lot of flaws and he was never really 100% committed. He had all type of off the court issues.
Agassi still got 8 despite his issues

Roger needs another 2 definitely 1 imo.
Novak honestly with his tennis, dedication and style of play can keep wining for another 4 years. If Novak wins Wimbledon and US, then I think he will surpass him within 3 years.
Yeah, but during every great run, there's usually some guys that break through here and there. Look at the list of major winners since Fed first won in 2003; it's a joke.True but I saw some people bytchin on TV about this and the thing is I do see a lot of talent out there.

The only Wimbledon winner not named Roger, Rafael or Novak is Andy Murray twice.
French Open: Juan Carlos Ferrero and Gaston Gaudio (French is such a joke
) in '03-04 and Stan in 2015.Aussie: Agassi in '03 (before Fed won his first major), Safin in '05 and Stan in 2014.
US Open: Roddikk in '03, del Potro in '09, Murray in '12, Cilic in '14 and Stan in '16.
16 years worth of majors and only 13 titles won outside the Big 3. That's not even one per year.

That's not even including all the Masters they've won
