Agreed Sampras' 7 Wimbledons in 8 years is just unreal.

Obviously that doesn't change the fact that he had a 5 year streak of winning grass matches and giving him 5 consecutive Wimbledon titles. Did you just start watching tennis?
Nadal? He's won one Wimbledon.. I don't see him winning 6 more. He could have won 3 though if it wasn't for the Federa
Lol, well then maybe he won't become the greatest ever. But you never know, he might have a chance...

if roger wins another 3 wimbledons, then without a doubt, ill put him as the greatest grass court player ever, until he does, then sampras is the greatest FOR NOW.
too bad there are no masters series on grass.

Except that in '98, '99, and 2000 Wimbledon's he didn't even face a top 15 player.
And people say Federer has an easy draw!
Anyway Federer has the record grass-court streak and he is extremely likely to win Wimbledon next month.

I will come back to this thread in July-August after Jannik Sinner dominates Wimbledon this year, playing at a level far surpassing any version of Federer or Sampras

To do what? To see if he's magically become the grass GOAT efter winning Wimbledon once?

Sinner has already surpassed Federer and Sampras by a wide margin on grass courts as it is. Pete and Fed’ biggest competitor was either Kabayashi,Tattoo, or a wide variety of plumbers and professional food eaters. Sinner plays true professionals. Peak Sampras and peak Fed would struggle through the qualifiers today. Occasionally, they’d break through, but then get gutted in the first round. Case in point, 2021 was the very peakiest form of Fed. He was straight-setted and bageled by the worst version of Hurkacz. I’m pretty sure Hurkacz got drunk before his match against Fed and was hungover during that match. The entire tour except Fed likely played with Covid. Fed retired because the tour was far more advanced than he ever was.
Comparing Sinner to the likes of Federer and Sampras is like comparing today’s most advanced computers to the Commodore 64 of the early 1980s.

Grass GOAT is Federer

I'd say Federer... but recently Wimbeldon slowed down the court and it almost plays like clay.
When did they start closing it down?

Yes, that is why players like Anderson, Kyrgios, Berretini whose performances at Roland Garros have not been good, have been Wimbledon finalists in their careers.
