Rafael Nadal has surpassed Roger Federer in the rankings and John McEnroe believes the World No. 1 is on pace to win six or seven more Grand Slam titles, which would push him ahead of Pete Sampras on the all-time list.
McEnroe believes the torch has been passed from Federer to Nadal, but believes the 16-time Grand Slam champion will win a couple more majors.
Mac: Nadal Will Win Six Or Seven More Majors
"It's reasonable to assume that if (Nadal is) healthy, it has been. But at the same time that's a little unpredictable," McEnroe said on Thursday night prior to his New York Sportimes' win over the Newport Beach Breakers. "Roger is not going to dominate the way he did. He knows it. Pretty much everybody knows it. He loves to play still. That's a big advantage. I think he'll win a couple more majors. I think the upside for Nadal is greater. He could win six, seven more. I think Federer could win one, two more. That's my opinion. Maybe he'll prove me wrong. He's already got 16, so it's not like he hasn't broken every record already. Maybe give someone else a chance."
