federer as a clay courter
where do you rank federer on the list as one of the greatest claycourters of all time? he only won 1 french open, but he lost to nadal in the semis or finals 4 other times. if nadal wasnt there, he could have 5 french opens. would you rate him above kuerten, brugera, courier who have more titles? i might rate him at least the lendl/wilander range who have 3 each. what do you think?

I agree that Kuerten is >> Federer, but Federer is in the top 10 IMO. |

Somewhere from 8-15 all time. Most likely just outside the top 10 all time at 11th or 12th. Open Era alone I would rank him 6th behind Nadal, Borg, Lendl, Kuerten, Wilander in that order. There is no argument whatsoever for him being higher than 6th in the Open Era, but one could argue him being lower than Muster or Courier, and thus arguably lower than 6th.

Lol Bleacher report.
You their tennis writers are worse than their MMA writers. And that's quite a statement. |

Top 15, definitely, top 10, probably. Never really gave it too much thought, though.
