Also you would have to say that laver Borg and Nadal are all equal.....and that Emerson was better than all three of them.
So I don't think your definition would really work. Do you?

Youre simplifying it. Laver is considered better because of the two CYGS, and he turned pro.
Navratilova is considered great because she had to contend with a woman almost on her level in Evert, not true for Court. Serena is mentioned because of the levels she's reached in her tennis, not just because of her accolades.
Borg and Nadal are virtually equal in most people's minds.
