aiyoo aiyoo crimson tide.....shall we say it the other way, can federer match nadal's 8 FO? Nadal beat Federer on French Clay, Aus Hard Court, and on Wimbledon Grass. Now there is a very probable chance of Nadal meating Federer in the QF of US Hard Court.....this is it....hoping for an entertaining match...if we are saying aging Feddy, then we will have to say creaky knees of Nadal...so it is going to be creaky knees vs aging....

And I guess Borg had 5 FO-Wimbledon doubles consecutively....

Never said anything about the 8 RGs. Rafa is very obviously the greatest clay court player of all times. It's also not about Fed v/s Nadal. I am not interested in these petty player battles that fans keep fighting. I only responded from a factual viewpoint...Nadal bagging the Wimbledon record or Borg's consecutive RG-Wimb doubles looks unlikely, hence to say he will get ALL records is exaggeration. That is all. And I presume there is nothing offending about that? because Sampras didn't have all records and neither does Federer. No one player does.

And as for Borg, no, he won RG in 74, 75 and 81 but not Wimb and no RG in 76 and 77 but Wimb. So there were 'only' three years that he won both RG and Wimb. Since then, only Rafa has done it...in 2008 and 2010.

leosimha: He still has (hopefully) at least five more years of play left; and he could and would surpass and break many, if not all, present records.

Nadal bagging the Wimbledon record or Borg's consecutive RG-Wimb doubles looks unlikely, hence to say he will get ALL records is exaggeration. That is all.

The term "many, if not all records" does not exactly mean "ALL records."!

[JamesDap]

It doesn't suggest exactly that but it indicates that that is likely. No one tennis player owns all records so it's not even a possibility. That is all I wanted to say...I know it's a somewhat pedantic objection, sorry.

watch out for another probable match in Davydenko vs Nadal in the 3rd round....Davydenko is the only player to have a better H2H record against Nadal....
