Please be gentle with your dislikes, militancy is rarely laudable. I will remember to write an article on Nadal's B'day next year, perhaps if it achieves some semblance of balance in your eyes.

Djokovic has worked very hard to be in sight of a unique achievement, which others may achieve in the future. I agree with BS, that Djokovic is a mere footnote in this thread, rather than at the center of it, which is a bit under the belt for him.

It does not matter if the player achieving a record is your favorite or not, but each one is a very laudable and unique one, whether it is the most Masters, or having one of each Masters.

He seems to be struggling at the moment, and it is questionable whether he will get the record or not, perhaps due to his family situation. I recall Nadal suffering through his parents' divorce.

I think I made it clear that IMO the whole "golden" masters "slam" was a bit silly. I like Djokovic but he isn't given any favours by the media and the ATP who persist in hyping him up by creating "holy grails" as extra pressure. I also like Federer   but he doesn't need me to point out how good he is... unlike his biggest rival   who upsets many even when his name is mentioned. 

I will remember your promise to write an article next year to celebrate Nadal's Birthday. But until it happens it's difficult for me to imagine such a thing here on 606v2...
