The problem when comparing Kodes and Vines is that of eras.Kodes faced a lot more of great players than Vines, because in the 1930´s, there was a big slot between top 5-6 players and the rest.While in Jan´s era, a top 25-30 player could handle a top guy and do it several times.

Both seem twins in term of results, with a comparable number of slams won and finals lost.
