What will happen:
Federer 17
Djokovic 14
Nadal 14

What should have happened without Pascal Maria, rain and other external factors:
Djokovic 18 (Add 3 from Nadal, 1 from Murray - FO and USO 2012 and 2013).
Federer 17
Nadal 11

there are some hilarious guys here.
Pascal Maria just applied the rules for the net in RG13, it's novak problem if he stupidly touched the net
By counting the same way as you you can withdraw Us open 2011, since Fed "should have won" the semi by serving an ace. Don't forget to add WIM 08 as a win for Roger, since he lost by lack of light at the end with a smaller racket size, causing more unforced errors. Oh and you can withdraw the AO2012 win from novak since Rafa sould have been up 5-2 if he hadn't missed an easy shot down the line. Last one, if rafa didn't retire in RG16, he would have meet Rafa in semi, either losing, or winning in 5 sets by getting exhausting in hte final, thus losing to murray

Do some people really think Federer and Nadal can win more slams. :haha:

I'm not counting Nadal out of winning another RG until we see if his form rebounds in late 2015/early 2016. If his form continues to be the way it is no he won't, if he comes back better, well he's always a threat at RG.

Federer 17-18
Nadal 14-15
Djokovic 13-14

Federer and Nadal still can win one more slam. Maybe Djokovic will catch Nadal but probably neither of them will catch Federer.

completely agree with you on this Alex I don't like the whole prediction thing, in tennis things change really quickly and there is no telling what could happen so I find it useless.

Yep, but then again, how many he would've won without younger Rafole around ?

Before Federer's 29th birthday Rafole had already won 9 slams and then 15 thereafter so far, beating Federer 10 times at slam after his 29th birthday (autumn 2010), in six SF and four F.

Before Djokovic' 29th birthday there were just two slam winners younger than him so far (one currently injured), winning one slam each and making no additional finals, and his peer Murray with two slams.

Can they together with Stan, Fedal and some new winner(s) win 10 slams in the next three years denying (injury-free) Djokovic more than just one or two ?

lol at hypothetical threads.

Let's have fun with it then for now.

Federer- Hard to say, his best chances are on fast surfaces.
Nadal- He's in serious decline, so maybe one tops after many months of recovery.
Djokovic- His game is very tough to break down very few players pose a threat to him.

Federer- 18 (maybe he'll vulture one slam when Djoker is upset).
Nadal- 15 (one Aussie Open or more likely Roland Garros after many months of absence and return to temporary good form)
Djokovic- 16 (I'll assume 2 per year during his final 2 prime years, and something like 1 per year after his prime with him having decline problems around 32).

For sure the end will be interesting when these guys retire. I'm we're in for a surprise of sorts.

If Federer will win anymore, it will be just one. 17-18.
Djokovic is a beast right now. Not sure how long he can maintain his prime for though. I think around 13-17.
Nadal is in a real mess. If he can't restore himself, he'll be stuck at 14. If he can find some form on his beloved clay courts, then 1 more at Roland Garros is realistic. 14-15.
