The longevity of Federer, Serena, Nadal and Djokovic

I was amazed to read in this morning’s Metro that the odds on Federer finishing his career with more grand slams than Rafa and Novak (by the time their careers are over) are apparently 8/1. With Novak and Rafa at something like 2/1 and 6/4 respectively.

I’ll be incredibly surprised if Novak does not eventually surpass Federer in major titles. Yeah, I’d give Nadal maybe two more FO titles.

Nadal: Went from a scrawny kid to a muscle bound Adonis. Has long layoffs and comes back stronger. And Spanish sports has enough institutional doping to make Russia blush.

Yep, I always wondered about the waaay-more-defined-than-usual muscalture of Nadal, Ferrer and Verdasco (not quite as sure about Lopez, Almagro, and Bautista Agut).
