Chances of Djokovic or Nadal or both winning 25 Slams.
Granted it's a bit 'out there' but given current landscape of people who cannot even spell sports forget tennis on the tour, it may just be within the realistic realm.

After Djokovic's 2021 FO win, given the 'time on court' he logged throughout the tournament among other obvious (age) and no so obvious things, do you get the feeling that he might be on some PEDs - legal or illegal?
Time on court: 4:11. 4:11. 3:28. 3:27. 1:32. 2:06 1:58

Given latest landscape, Federer’s choice for 2020 FO winner will (should?) be Nadal or Djokovic, if those are the only two options?
Djokovic?
Nadal failing to win Roland Garros will have some ‘not so potent’ reverberations strong enough to dampen his outright GOAT status claim - considering there is - still - no one even close to legitimately threatening him on clay - implying ‘it was an inside job’ thereby weakening Nadal’s persona - somewhat. Losing to Djokovic will add even more fire to that fuel - forget losing to some midget or some Theme Park Ear spectacle.
Federer’s goal today - given that he has lost the power to add to his Slam total - is to somehow ensure the portfolio of these two GOAT contenders are weakened and slighted as much as possible so in the very least Federer is not completely kicked out of GOAT contention - alphabet (GOAT a, b, c, d,.....) attachment notwithstanding.
Federer has already declared publicly that he thinks both Nadal and Djokovic will pass him. ONLY thing in his ‘control’ - given that admission and declaration - is to hope his voodoo dolls work to ‘arrange’ for a ‘less than imposing’ resume for both so he has something left to save his face and nose @ the GOAT table.
Additionally, by rooting for Djokovic to get to No. 18, Federer can STILL hope to stand alone @ 20 for sometime - hopefully forever - considering that Djokovic has sputtered and faded in the past that was bad enough for some to write him off completely. Now that he is couple years older and at least Theme Park Ear spectacle is showing some signs of WiFi - if not Zverev too - there is ample there to still keep dreaming of a stand alone 20. Nadal winning here will demolish it so thoroughly that reconciliation of getting kicked to the curb from the GOAT table - when you once with near total consensus was considered the UNDISPUTED GOAT - will occur instantly triggering the suicide watch syndrome - irrevocably.
Point: Federer may be looking for instant gratification over long term benefits.
Djokovic win here keeps him alive @ 20 but in the long run it may result in TWO passing him on the Slam pole - compared to possibly just one if Nadal wins here.
After all, Djokoivc still will have to win THREE Slams to get to 20 - with ‘tied at 20’ and with no pressure Nadal in full flight coupled with Theme Park, if not others, as legit hurdles. Then there’s always the possibility of another line judge moving quickly to stand in the way of another errant shot from Djokovic, if not another divorce scare (from parents this time?)
Deduction: Djokovic may not be that much of Slam dunk in reaching 20 as Nadal is - with or without the 2020 FO title.
So like my famous going goes ‘Get the two bushes and let the bird in your nose fly’ or something like that.

Who craves No. 1 rank MOST: Federer, Nadal or Djokovic?
Djokovic? Then Federer and then Nadal - with little separating Djokovic and Federer and LOT separating Nadal from the other two?
If Nadal does manage to convincingly prove his outright GOAT status with his stats (Slams, Masters 1000 etc.), could Djokovic’s and Federer’s extreme and unhealthy obsession with No. 1 rank then morph into one of the main (main?) reason why they failed?
Nadal focused on the top goal - and got it. Others didn’t - and failed?

The 40-15 game @ 2019 Wimbledon final between Federer and Djokovic was more a case of how not to win championship point (Federer) or how not to let your opponent win it (Djokovic)? Go to 4:08:50.
For rock people, what it means is freaking this:
Did Djokovic win it or did Federer lose it?

Prediction: 2020 Slams.
Is it possible for JUST Nadal to win at least one Slam - maybe two - and the other two clowns (Federer and Djokovic) to not win ANY?
Why - you aks?
Given how the three clowns have ended the year - coupled with age for at least one 'deceased' clown - can you even dare to forecast anything else?
Nadal produced what the MOST 'comeback' match of the sport @ WTF against Medvedevdevvedmed - and won Davis Cup - they say with just one body part - don't remember which one was referenced.
Djokovic lost to No. 38 with No. 6 WTF and 6th year end on the line - forget everything else.
And Federer - never mind.
How many Slam(s) will Federer, Nadal and Djokovic win in 2020?
