    1980 question

    would you rank the Davis cup higher than the other tournaments for example L.Vegas or M.Carlo? davis cup world group came a year later but WCT vanished and Philly was not that strong anymore.

    Amateurs or hidden professionals pre 1968

    Rosewall and Gonzales Careers Official Thread

    yeah,61 is a tough call..i personally give it to gonzales cause i can't help the feeling that he would own rosewall all over again if they went touring head to head that year.. to me 60 and 61 are practically the same.it's interesting cause rosewall did the ''major'' thing both years and...

    Bobby you're right i meant Los Angeles and wrote Las Vegas,my mistake

    [GOAT] Which kind of domination?

    ok ok i agree, Olympic gold does not have Major title value.

    [GOAT] Which kind of domination?

    but you're also right so it should be valued 0.75. that should be fair.

    [GOAT] Which kind of domination?

    Everyone wants that gold medal IMO, its a great competition..i think if you ask Murray to trade his gold medal for a Wimbledon trophy he'd keep his medal..and i also believe Federer would give up a few Wimbledon titles for that gold..

    [GOAT] Which kind of domination?

    Stokholm had ALL the best players except Newcombe..Rome was like a substitute for the Roland Garros and Wembley was the only tournament besides Wimbledon to have Smith,Newcombe,Rosewall and Laver in the draw.Again i was trying to look at the big picture.. oh well i may be absolutely wrong but...

    [GOAT] Which kind of domination?

    Bobby that may be so but if you exclude Smith,Nastase and Kodes you can't have an objective grasp on those 2 years..

    [GOAT] Which kind of domination?

    of course it is,everyone would come up with their own list, thats not the point. if you want to know about the list ask and i will reply, i think that's reasonable. Las Vegas had better field and it combined WCT and Masters players.If that WCT finals were a Round Robin competition i would've...

    [GOAT] Which kind of domination?

    71 - i wanted to avoid taking sides so i picked the tournaments with both independent and WCT players.if you combine the 2 circuits i think you will find those were the ones with the best draw.IMO that was the only fair solution. 72 - same as above.
