Is that a question or a rhetorical?

5555 is basically saying that greatness is a matter of opinion, because of the fact that "experts" disagree on what constitute greatness. Therefore it is a valid argument to say that Donald Young is as great as Andre Agassi according to 5555's impenetrable logic.

Yes. To me it is obvious that he is at least one of the best players of all-time, career achievements aside. And by the time he's done, he's going to have several more slam victories, most likely...probably between 9-12 if not more. As much as I dislike him, he's that good.

The-Champ claims that greatness in not a matter of opinion. According to him it's a fact that Ivan Lendl is greater player than Pancho Gonzales or vice versa.

Wow, 5555, 5 years since you registered on TW and you still can't tell the difference between a fact and opinion.

He is the only multi slam winner at the moment (Murray could join him) whilst Federer and Nadal started their dominance. Just to be able to take them on and beat them both in 3 out of the 4 slams makes him an all time great in my eyes. My opinion, of course!

No, because he hasn't won enough slams yet and because he has only been great for a few years. He has to be great for more than a couple of years to be an all time great. In a few years time we will be in a better position to re-asses.

It is a fact that many people have the opinion that it is unpleasant when some people go overboard and act unreasonable.
