" He doesn't need to. His 19 Slams are worth infinite times more than her 23." Tennispro, care to explain that one? Serena's accomplishments are just as valid as Feds. I am interested in your trying to explain why they aren't.

Modern era. Federer Nadal Sampras Joker Agassi Pre modern era Laver Connors Borg McEnroe Lendl What I include in the modern era is racquet technology, string technology and fitness technology. I also believe that string technology has more effect on the modern game than does the racquet...

2017. His backhand has never been better and look at what he has won this year and against who. He doesn't have to run around his backhand anymore which makes his movement just as good as when he was much younger despite losing a step due to his age. I have never seen him play better or smarter...

Since the Olympics is every 4 years winning one is equal to 4 majors. That means Nadal has 24 majors to Feds 19. End of discussion.

I don't believe women are tanking matches at a high rate. Their second serves are bad enough that they don't need to tank.

I almost got into a fight with Nastase at the Fan Club in Boston. He was dancing with some chick and he was ignoring the chick he came to the place with. I of course being a gentleman went and asked his girl to dance. She of course said yes and I proceeded to make Nastase look like a fool on...

Wasn't the question Connors or Lendl? What does laver have to do with the question? Sometimes I just don't understand the suck fest with laver on this site. Yes he was great, no he is not the goat. He was my hero as a kid, I got to see him play more times than I can remember. Let's put a lid...

Mackay had laver fourth, that is a joke. Laver is first in pre open era, then it is a toss up between Rosewall and Gonzalez.

Laver was my first hero when I began to watch and play tennis back around 1965. I got to watch laver live too many times to even remember. He was a lefty and so am I. I was blown away at the size of his left arm. I learned to hit my topspin backhand from watching him. I can remember crying when...

Berdych will ever win a slam. Can't take the pressure and will double fault the big points.

She has never had the mental toughness to win a slam. Her inability to construct points properly and her lack of consistency is what keeps her from winning a slam. She has the ability to play defense as well as anyone on tour but her willingness to grind it out just isn't there. Just another...

Joker should have taken the rest of the year off. His head is not in the right place to compete against the worlds best players. He is burned out from winning at such a high level for so long. He needs a good long break so he can find his love for the game. Right now he doesn't love it and you...

No pressure whatsoever. Winning AO takes the he pressure off him and he can go into the W swinging freely and enjoying the sport. He loves the game and just playing at a high level is good enough for him. Taking the clay court season off does not increase pressure, it just gave him the rest he...

Connors by a big margin. Not winning the biggest title Wimbledon is a huge hole in lendl's career.

Fed took the most of the opportunity that was given to him. He played very well and deserved to win. Stan hit 60 winners I believe in hitting joker off the court. That was an incredible ruble display of power tennis. He didn't hit some qualifier off the court but arguably the best defender in...

He just beat Stan, Chardy, Demitrov, Berdych and Cilic. That was not a bunch of qualifiers. I give Lopez a very good shot at the qf's. I really enjoy watching him play. His slice down the line approach shot is really old school. Not many players today either have that shot or play it. It still...

King roger, you say nadal has had a weak era on clay because he won 10 times. I submit that if nadal did not exist Fed would have won a minimum of 4 FO. No one except joker and Murray and stan can compete with roger on clay. Out of nadal's ten and give roger 4, joker 3, murray 2 and Stan his...

Old guys rule. This new generation of players just don't have it mentally or physically. They have no chance of beating the big 5 until all of the 5 are over 40 years old. Mark my words, tell everyone you know that you heard this here first.

If you go by vegas odds then fed is favorite. I would place him first based on his 2017 performance. I give nadal second best chance to win. My dark horse pick is Feliciano Lopez. I love how he beat Cilic at Queens, and he does play great on the grass. In regards to the discussion on how...

I didn't know you had to be a great grass court player to coach a major winner. Ivan Lendl-Murray. Annicone - fed. Nadal uncle Toni. I think uncle Toni won like 5 horseshoe tourney's in his day.

Being known as a superior athlete due to his prowess on clay is a bonus. Give David 4 inches and he would have won at least a couple of majors. His height is a major disadvantage in today's game.

David all the way. Nothing worse than wasted potential in my book. Tsonga had so much more talent than David but he never optimized it. Just put David's heart into Tsonga and I bet he wins 4 plus majors .

I believe it takes superior athleticism to play great clay court tennis. Take away the anomalies that are Borg and Nadal and the FO is the major with the fewest multiple winners I believe. It is so much more physical than the W. Sampras never sniffed a win at the FO as 1 semi final is hardly...

Michaelnadal, I have a really good feeling about nadal's W this year. It has been a long time since he has gone there with this much confidence. I love his new tactics and if he sticks to the game plan that Moya has laid out for him he is going to do well. His backhand is the key to winning it.

I believe he was past his prime when he had to give up using his T2000 and switched to a modern racquet. Once he knew that his trusty sword could no longer get the job done, his days of winning majors was toast.

Michaelnadal, I believe that now nadal has gotten his confidence back to where it currently is, he will give fed all he can handle. It is huge that nadal now has the ability to hit it so well from the bh side he no longer has to give up so much court running around to his forehand. He can...

Csmoove99, not sure who your remark is intended for but I am a retired businessman and have plenty of time to post. So are you justifying his tanking, do you feel he has no obligation to the fans or the sport? He has a god given talent that is going to waste. What would a guy like David Ferrer...

Any discussion of Borg being a goat is in my mind not valid. You cannot be considered if you only win your slams at 2 places. A goat has to have a minimum of one grand slam on their records. Sampras was a goat only because he won the 14 majors. Once he was tied or passed by someone who had...

Imagine if we got a Fedal final at the W and USO? How freaking great would that be ? At the end it would be nadal 17 and fed 18. Think about the goat conversations we would have here then.

Now that I think about it we should give him more credit for his 2 gold medals. I am thinking each one should equal 4 majors each. This would now give him a total of 12 and he would be tied with joker. I think this sounds more than fair.
