I think he will win plenty more. Nadal has mastered his own body and I think he has it in him to sustain and even get better. His Will Power is stronger than all other influences it seems, which is a great achievement.Originally Posted by silky_soccer

Federer will always be above him for me, Hees so entertaining and skillful. Nadal is brilliant, but not very entertaining. Originally Posted by nebeer

Borg. Retired at 26 winning 11 majors... Only bothered playing in the Australian Open once.
Had he cared enough would have racked up 20+ majors.
That said I'm only going off the numbers (plus his sexy posture).
Federer would pip Sampras for 2nd.

Didn't know that Borg retired only at 26. Why?

My peers, lately, have found companionship through means of intoxication - it makes them sociable. I, however, cannot force myself to use drugs to cheat on my loneliness - it is all that I have - and when the drugs and alcohol dissipate, will be all that my peers have as well. F.K.

If the guy did not love the sport enough to play long enough..then he cannot be considered the greatest...plus at his times tennis as a sport was much less proliferated throughout the world...the tennis players in fact came from only 2-3 countries(weel the bulk of them)...all of this has changed today...tennis is almost a global sport...

Borg is one of the greatest, no question. He won the french and wimbledon back to back on many occasions not be thought of as a truly great player.
I also love Edberg, he is definitely underrated by many. He would win grand slams today.Guardiola is quoted as telling Catalan radio: “Liverpool Academy is the only one who can compete at "La Masia". If they can manage those lads, then maybe 20 star players can arrive from that academy.”
Watching David Silva is like watching Pornography.

Welcome to team Edberg, Eddie
My peers, lately, have found companionship through means of intoxication - it makes them sociable. I, however, cannot force myself to use drugs to cheat on my loneliness - it is all that I have - and when the drugs and alcohol dissipate, will be all that my peers have as well. F.K.

One thing that might enable Nadal to prosper longer is that he seems to have got the right balance. Does not play as many tournaments as he once did and seems to have got the balance right between getting adequate playing time in before the Slams and being undercooked

Nadal improves his head to head against Federe to 15-8. In addition, he now has the Grand Slam with a good few more in the beckoning. After this year, he surely has to be mentioned in this category
