2017 French

[Jason White]

If Djokovic wins:

#13 on the slam count. Double slam. Gets to within one slam of Sampras and Nadal. With double slam, might be considered on same level by experts. Perhaps higher.

If Nadal wins:
#15 on the slam count, pass Sampras. Incredible 10th French. Gets back to a deficit of three on all-time slam record.

Madrid semi match will be very interesting, a nice preview. Imagine if they play French final this year. Just think if Djokovic prevents Nadal history @ French, then a few weeks later once again prevents Federer history @ Wimbledon!

The conversations and debates would have different tone suddenly!

djokovic has a ways to go before either of those will happen. his game
isn't where it needs to be, not close. you're referring to djok of
last year or prior.

Highly unlikely Djoker stops both Fed and Nadal at this point. If he does he will immediately overtake Rafa and Sampras to #2 open era.

This struggling Djokovic isn't stopping Federer or Nadal. Federer and Nadal if they continue with their 2017 form will both crush this version of Djokovic. Djokovic is having trouble getting by players like Querrey/Istomin/Goffin/Bautista Agut, forget about other ATG great players.

First to complete the Double CGS. Would be very very impressive, showing he is a complete master on all surfaces.

seems that 8th Wimbledon far outweighs a 2nd FO in fed's mind. just
like he told us in january, just like i told you last week.

My position based on Federer's comments was that if he were playing FO, it would be with the intention of winning it. There were enough tune ups for WImbledon and last year he played Wimbledon reaching the semis without playing FO as a tune up.
