All-Time Grouping OPEN ERA (Indoor Hard)

[BGod]

This is a series I'll be doing with regards to all-time players per surface, then tournaments.

The result will be a grouping of tiers by virtue of talktennis to see what we get.

This isn't surface specialists, so Gustavo Kuerten doesn't get on here for clay because he didn't have enough success elsewhere. However all-time players who never won on the particular surface do not make it on the candidates list, so it won't be the same 10 candidates across the board.

The Question For 1st Round:
In 3 best of 5 set matches, all players match-up, who do you favour ON INDOOR HARD/CARPET?
When judging across eras, you must give favoured equipment to each player in a match and a neutral situation for both in a 3rd match if concluding they'd split on their terms.

Pick your top 5 out of 10 to move on to 2nd Round.

CANDIDATES
Roger Federer
Pete Sampras
Bjorn Borg
John McEnroe
Boris Becker
Jimmy Connors
Stefan Edberg
Andre Agassi
Ivan Lendl
Novak Djokovic


To exclude any bias in polling, I've simply ordered alphabetically.

This needs more voting like the clay. After Fed/Lendl/Sampras it really is 3 guys for the last 2 spots but Agassi hasn't garnered a single vote yet which is strange.

Think you should have just made it carpet.

Not a whole lot of difference between outdoor and indoor hard (Nadal’s the exception, not the rule)

I voted assuming carpet - Connors, Borg, McEnroe, Lendl and Becker (Sampras just missing the cut)

The moderns miss out
