Laver or Pancho if I had to choose. They are pretty close. Of course, we all know Fed will win this by a vote of 19424234-4.

Every other player will get less then 10 votes while Fed get 20000

Yeah pretty hilarious to see insecure ****s continue to make polls about if Federer is the best this or the best that, knowing this is **** Warehouse and every poll with Federer in it he is certain to win with atleast 97% votes, and convince themselves it proves something, lol!

Anyway I voted Rosewall since he is the most underrated all time great IMO, although obviously it is really probably Laver or Gonzales.

The point of a poll is to know what the consensus is, Sherlock

I won't vote. The day I have a time machine and a private island with tennis courts of all different surfaces, then yes.

Rosewall deserves to be mentioned up there. I think hes got a slam equivalent of 23-24 slams if we count the pro slams and RIDICULOUS longevity

1. Laver or Pancho
Rosewall just right below??
.. And Fed and Sampras rounding it out in the 4th or 5th spot?

If this place is such a disgrace why you keep posting here? Pack your bags if you don't like it.

Gonzales doesn't even have the numbers to counter Federer.

Last time I checked he won a total of 17 - 2 of which he won as an amateur. He never won the French Open - the only major played on clay at the time and only made 2 finals of those.

Not to mention that the "professional tours" in the 50's weren't actual "tours". It was a 2-men battle throughout a year. It's like you put Federer and Djokovic together and make them play 100 matches in a year and who wins most ends the year ranked 1st. So a guy who was a part of it is actually greater than Federer who has to work his a** off in 7 5-set matches, all physically demanding. I mean WAT.
