maybe till he is 30. is there a serious threat to his knee with his current style ? - Paresh Jain via twhirl

If he can just borrow my right knee for a match he will be a dead meat .... - Suryakant Patidar

I'd say 3-4 years max, if he continues playing with the same intensity... Nadal's game is all muscle, he runs and runs and runs and returns each and every ball somehow ... ok, not always - when he is playing with the lesser mortals, he will just power them out in 2-3 shots... although with Federer/Joker the rallies run up to 15-20 shots... I'd say he will stay at top for max 5 years from now .... - Kunal

Parry frustoo Sampras shud have played the maximum years. he never put effort in his game. He retired around 30. Nadal keeps running running and running :) - Amal

Sampras was too lazy & good with passing shots. Never played lon rallies except with few players. Nadal on the other hands outruns the other guy. Maybe this is because of his training with his uncle who is a footballer :) - Paresh Jain

@Paresh, I was reading one article yesterday, it said that Nadal does not do normal training like weights/running etc... Instead he just keeps playing and playing for all his physical training ... makes sense, you work all those muscles that are actually used in matches :) - Kunal

It does make sense to work out on the court. Also you know the coach he has now - Tony Roache - used to be Sampras' and Federer's coach. That guy is good and obviously knows Federer's weaknesses. - Paresh Jain via Alert Thingy
