    I’d argue that the more vocal crowd has an affect, at the US Open too.

    Novak has won Wimbledon more than the US.

    His record on hard courts is nothing like Nadal’s on Clay.

    I understand you’re hurting because the guy you said is unplayable on all surfaces just got completely and utterly outclassed and embarrassed but don’t take it out on me pal.

    I think you’re the hurting one as you realise your favourite is only the 3rd best of all time, mate.

    You can’t seriously be suggesting that Djokovic is even close to Roger Federer? :56:

    How many Slams has he won in comparison with Federer and Nadal?

    3 less than both, Paul. But he’ll get there. :50:

    20 isn’t a rigid target though, is it?

    To catch Federer I’d suggest it likely is.

    To be honest, Nadal could probably win another 4/5 French Opens.

    It’s mental to see 3 people dominate a sport for so long.. and even longer for Nadal and Federer. Nadal is superhuman on clay. Going to be the annoying * that gives a tip after it won but I thought 7/4 on him before the tournament was huge.

    I’d suggest otherwise. Federer might not even be the target by that point at this rate, however.

    Yep, don’t think he will be.

    It's really sad Andy Murray has only managed the 3 Slams. He deserved more than Wawrinka having reached the top of the rankings. Still a fantastic achievement however when up against the best 3 of all time.
