It used to be Fed/Nadal to whom Djokovic was compared. Now it’s to the all time leaders in tennis male or female over the past 50 years. Soon it will be to the greatest athletes to ever play any sport (if we’re not there already).

Going behind in slams has cost Federer a lot.

People have forgotten his 2000s years, ATP Finals, some longevity records which he created, today the same media is marketing Court & Novak is a different way.

Since we‘re counting pre-Open Era slams, whats the list if we incluce tennis tournaments since tennis was created?

Incredible how we're considering both Pro Slams and Amateur Slams. Since they both happened at the same time, it feels like cheating to allow both. But I have a ton of respect for Rosewall and I think he gets a lot of flak despite being just as good as Laver (as shown by their records on the Pro tour).

There are club open tournaments right now that have a stronger field than those AO titles Court won. "Slam" lol where 90% of the entrants were locals because nobody wanted to fly to Australia for a $500 first place prize

As a Margaret Court's fan (I grew up watching her impeccable game and even traveled to Australia back in the 1960s and 1970s to witness live her matches against the legendaries Evonne Googalong Cawley, Billie Jean King and María Bueno) I find this thread to be a celebration of tennis. Both Court and Djokovic are tennis geniuses that deserve the utterly most respect.

Oh boy, I miss the 1960s and 1970s. The subtle tactics, the sophisticated touch, the electricity of the game... everything was better back then. These Next Genners are all useless. Wooden racquets enhanced intelligence, point construction and creativity over brainless power-hitting.

Court vs. Billie Jean King, Wimbledon 1970 final, arguably the greatest women's match in tennis history. The peak of women's tennis right here, gentlemen.

You are a lot older than I thought, then. I thought you were probably in your late 20s, maybe early 30s by now.

Great sarcasm. I almost believed it but then checked your age which you list as 32.
