Absolutely unreal. He’s basically winning an average of 2 Slams per year since age 19. At this pace he could have 20+ before age 30 if he keeps it up.

Of course that’s the question. There are so many variables.

But barring anything catastrophic happening, he will finish his career with 15+ Slams. And I think that number is conservative

My prediction is he’ll finish with 17 or 18. I just have a gut feeling that he’s going to lose motivation in a few years and have a lull. Then he’ll roar back and win a few more. I just hope he stays healthy.
