1. If Nadal ends his career with more slams than Federer, its a done deal, hes the GOAT.
2. If Federer ends his career with, lets say, 4-5 more slams, you have to give him GOAT status. Even though i think you can't really compare generations, i think people will spit out Federer, just like they do for Jordan.
2. But if Nadal ends within 1-2 or tied, i think Nadal gets the edge. If you think Federer still is the Goat, you have to look at the slams Nadal has won so far. He had to beat Federer(the GOAT) in 6 of the 8 slams hes won. Thats impressive any way you look at it.

I'm looking forward to Dubai, IW, and Miami. There's going to be great potential matchups in these tournaments. But, has anyone noticed that Fed doesn't play another match until 3/3 in Dubai. Almost 5 weeks for Fed to think about exactly what he has to do to protect his ranking and win more majors.
His number one goal is to defend Wimbledon. Period. This will save his year no matter what else happens. Number 2 is winning the french. If he goes back to back, french and wimbledon, everything else(olympics, us open, and number 1 ranking) will just be a bonus to him.

Loco Djoko
Watching the first few games of the Federer-Djokovic semi this morning, I found myself thinking, “Does Federer ever get tired of having to win these things? Is he ever tempted to say, ‘Forget it, I just can’t deal with this today’?” Something about the look in his eye at the very start of the ma...

Twenty Questions Plus One
I just finished a post for ESPN paying tribute to the Australian Open as the "freaky Slam", in which I picked my ultimate freaky Slam semifinalists. Now, come on and gather round the fire and take the first TW Grand Slam quiz. Here are the ground rules: you must complete the quiz by 7 PM Sund...
