Looks like Djokovic is going to complete his career slam this week and Federer's GOAT status is once again safe.

Crazy how long Nadal has been around. He's 29 and won his first Roland Garros at 18! I'm not sure if he's having injury issues this year. His knees have always been his downfall. If he was healthy throughout his career like Federer, he'd pass Federer in Grand Slams.

Nadal is not 100%, but i think age is starting to take its toll on him. Djokovic looks pretty unstoppable, but I wouldn't count Murray out just yet.

Rafa's all out style has taken its toll. He isn't he player he once was. Same with Fed, who I consider to have the most well rounded, most beautiful game I have ever seen.

In his prime, I am not sure I have ever seen a more effortless athlete.

It's a new era in tennis. Maybe we will see an American on the global scene again sometime.

Nadal had the home court advantage at the French Open where he rarely lost.The wear and tear of playing all these years has taken its toll on his body. Federer is another great tennis champion facing a similar situation.

Nadal has had injury related time off the past two years and he has come back from injury but his game is not up to par. I don't know If he will be able to recover his A game. As others have properly mentioned, his all out game is catching up to him in injuries. He is a competitor and he will try his best to get back to his A game. The question is if he can do it again. I wish him the best, a very classy and humble player.
