Anyone who isn't a dominant winner is shit in our world.
Especially in sport.
Which means 99.95% of the world is pretty shit.

And of course if it wasn't Sampras, it'd invariably be Agassi (well not at Wimbledon perhaps). We've been very lucky in the last 20 years watching tennis, really.
Timmy and Johnny predicted 15 Slams for Nadal in his career (on Today At Wimbledon).
I'm going for 18. And 17 for Federer.
If none of the current young crop stepped up, I'd say he could win over 20. But as we saw after Sampras, Federer and Nadal stamped their mark on history. Nadal is ridiculous at the moment, but there could be someone in the next few years who is even more athletic than him and comes to the fore. Maybe not necessarily someone who wins more than Federer and Nadal, but who stops their dominance, along with Djokovic, Del Potro and maybe Murray.
What do you have Federer down to win? I have it as one more U.S Open and one more Wimbledon.
Not sure what Nadal will end up on, I didn't think he'd surpass Federer but if he does win on Sunday I'll then think it is extremely likely that he will, should his knees hold out!
I hope Fed has one more Wimbledon in him.
For Nadal to break the record, hes going to have to win the Aussie and the US a couple more times. Cant just do it on French alone. I know he looks awesome on grass as well but i think hes more likely to lose at Wimbledon than the French.
So Fed whos on 16 atm will get one more Wimbledon and a US open = 18
Nadal on 10 atm will get 3 French, 2 Wimbledon (not including this year if he wins), and one each for the other 2 = 17
I think Nadal is more likely to win the French and Wimbledon now but Federer prob still has the edge on the other 2 cos i dont think Nadal is as convincing on those and yes i know hes the current US champ but i can see him losing that tag in a couple of months.
Think the US is Murrays best chance as well
Not sure, just a rough guess. But probably one more Wimbledon.
Del Potro will prosper most on the hardcourts. Same with Djokovic. Nadal is absurd on the clay. There's no other up-and-coming Spaniard to challenge him on that front.
His knees have been threatening to wilt for ages. I think they'll hold out until he's 30. He could just do a Serena and pick and choose which tournaments he wants to go for.
So predictions for the weekend?
Sharapova to win comfortably against the pub teamer.
I think Nadal will take it in possibly 4, maybe 5 sets.
Kvitova in straight sets.
Nadal in 5.
Whos Kvitova?
Kvitova. It's Czech for Pub Teamer I think.
Anyway, Kvitova in three sets. Djokovic in four.
