Will Novak Djokovic win the Tennis Grand Slam? - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

The Aussie Open is in the bag which makes it 3 Grand Slam titles in a row. Can he capture all 4 in the same year? That would mean winning 7 in a row total, it seems completely ridiculous to even think of that but the way the guy keeps pulling wins out of his ass means it's such a realistic possibility.

Roland Garros is next, gonna be the real test to see if he can get his first title there.

Rafa's too good for him on clay I think.

He beat Nadal 2x in clay finals last year. He just got unlucky that Federer went old school on him in the semi or else he would have beaten Nadal again at RG.

Stick to Harrison Barnes analysis imo.

I love how the options are either YES! or NO CHANCE! There definitely isn't any middle ground between those.

OP:

Adding is hard. He has now won 3 in a row. There are 3 more this year. That would make 6, not 7.

I also would like a "maybe" option.

The biggest test is the French. I don't think he can take it away from Rafa. Rafa almost beat him today (he was a break up in the fifth) and Rafa is better on clay than hard court while Nole is worse on clay than on hard.

8:1 seems like a safe bet against Nole winning all three remaining slams.

voted yes, but really, considering how unreal close this match was, considering how much better than everyone nadal is at clay, probably not

He's already won 3 in 1 year. I don't know what other options you want unless you want % options which isn't my style.

french will be the one that will easily be the toughest. I agree with those users who said that. Hasn't Feds clay game gotten a little better? OBV he hasnt closed the Nadal gap but is it equal against djok?

Heh, good spot.

Yeah I would do all such polls with % ranges. A simple 0-25% 25-50% 50-75% or you're a ****ing idiot and say >75% option.

I remember reading an interview from Djokovic after he started consistenly winning and he said the main difference now with him is that he was allergic to gluten but never knew, And once he found out and started eating gluten free things he started to dominate.

So sick that he was able to play with the best in the world while be restricted by allergies he knew nothing about.

8-1 seems like a reasonablish price for Djokovic's chances, although it seems like it's tough to arrive at a figure like that without either a surprisingly high guess for how often he wins the French or like 70+% chances of winning Wimbledon and the US Open. But I do think he has a very legit shot at it this year.
