    Lendl and Borg. Who was the greatest?

    Based on a comment that "many people rate Lendl as equal to Borg" which surprised me a bit, thought I'd take the pulse of the forum on this. I've tried to include enough options so a range of opinions can be represented. EDIT: Sorry, posted in the wrong thread. Don't know how to move it.

    Nadal wishes he was in Djokovic's half of the draw. Discuss.

    Nadal knows exactly what has to happen in order to stay #1 after Wimbledon: 1. He has to win the tournament. 2. Djokovic has to go no further than the semi finals. In other words, regardless of Nadal's performance, he has to rely on someone else putting Djokovic out before the final...

    The best players to never win specific slams...

    ...in the open era? My take on this: Australian Open: It would be easy to say Borg or McEnroe for this, but the fact is that they didn't invest enough at the tournament to have deserved to win it, so my vote goes to Pat Cash, who lost in two finals there, and both were tough five set...
