If Nadal completes the calendar Slam this year, he will reach another equally illusive milestone. What is it?
First correct answer = Wall Of Fame listing.

He will have 13 majors at 25 years of age - he will be the the youngest to achieve that

Two career grand slams - i.e., winning each major at least twice.
Posted by: Nelson Goodman | 01/17/2011 at 04:04 PM
7 straight slams! that will be totally out of this world.

Winning at least two Slams at three different event: AUS Open (2), French Open (5) and Wimbledon (2)
Federer has done it before (he owns at least 4 titles in 3 different Slams: 4 AO, 6 Wimbys and 5 USO), Laver obviously has as well, that makes two previous instances, just as the calendar Slam (Rod Laver and Don Budge).

Just to clarify, I meant this if he wins this Australian Open... Therfore holding all 4 Slams at the same.
If by Calendar Slam we're talking all four Slams in 2011, then I agree with Nelson Goodman and I think he got it right ;)

Q. The YouTube video where you hit the bottle off the guy's head, is that real?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I did it twice, that's why I wanted to make sure people knew it was real. A bit of help there, but... (smiling.)

Why are we talking about this at this point?
Posted by: banti | 01/17/2011 at 05:58 PM
he will have reached double digit slam count, i.e. 10 slams. Also, to do the grand slam (all four at the same time) on 4 different unique surfaces

Adj. 1. illusive - based on or having the nature of an illusion
Posted by: Arjun | 01/18/2011 at 06:43 AM
Lol, Arjun. Freudian slip from TP? Or maybe he's just too used to writing all that negative stuff about Federer?
ELUSIVE, TP.
The Calendar Slam is not elusive either BTW.

Illusive milestone:
First person to win a grand slam when ILL?
Posted by: Arjun | 01/18/2011 at 07:19 AM
he will become GOAT.
Posted by: IMAGiNE | 01/18/2011 at 02:08 PM
He will be the first who lost his number one ranking while injured but came back stronger to achieve GOAT status.
