That's so difficult to answer, really, but I'm more and more convinced that Pancho Gonzales is number 1, if there is such a thing.

50's Gonzales
60's Laver 70's Borg 80's Lendl 90's Sampras 2000's Federer Pick the order you want. The game has changed dramatically in this period so better to leave it at that. What's the use of getting everyone upset and end up disrespecting those players who gave their all when they played? Besides, 90% of the answers will be from people who have answered already in another similar thread and adding close to nothing new. |

I don't like ranking top pros from different decades. I believe each decade has the #1 guy and leave it at that.
60s - Laver 70s - Borg 80s - Lendl 90s - Sampras 00s - Federer |

Seems to me a reasonable list, Bobby One, it is not that far from Nadal-Agassi's list. I think the top 7 should be there on every sensible list, the order is a matter of choice. How to input Nadal, is imo still too early to tell. Federer career is not over, too. Hoad is pretty high, when considering his real achievements. Some would put Budge, Kramer, Connors, Lendl (for instance on the basis of years at Nr. 1) over him.
