because they're winning right now?
Agreed and that's the problem. Nobody else seems able to stop them even though they are the old men in the draw now

I'm sorry, my friend. Where did I say anything about age?ibbi, You should have responded because according to your theory Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Murray and Wawrinka should not dominate tennis world as oldies!!
I was searching on the internet, and I found this list that seems to be more or less accurate:
https://howtheyplay.com/individual-sports/Top-10-Greatest-Male-Tennis-Players-of-All-Time
But then I found this list of Ranker.com: http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/greatest-mens-tennis-players-of-all-time
Is this last list fair? I think it must be too old. McEnroe over Djokovic with 7 Slams? Sampras over Rafa without French Open and 14 Slams?
Let people enjoy their nostalgia and you have to admit, Federer and Nadal have played amazing tennis this year. This is probably their last run together, where they are both playing great at the same time and winning majors, so I can understand the somewhat gushing and excitement. Djokovic will be back and based on the comments Roger made today he is almost demanding for him to get his **** together and come back. He says he is too good to keep playing like this and will win more majors so I thought that was nice touch from Roger.
Well I wasn't speaking literally. It's not meant as a dig at Laver, just saying we can't compare eras like this.
Laver in the 60s with wooden racket against todays equipment, training etc against a top 20 player? Would be tough to get points
No question that Mac was a tennis genius, second only in talent to Roger. But it does matter in tennis history how much he won as compared to other ATG's. There's no conceivable way we can put John McEnroe ahead of Djokovic on any sane list of great players. There's no comparison between their careers. Mac stopped winning majors when he was 25 and never made a dent in the game after marrying Tatum. That's just the sad fact of it.
Djoker has 12 majors, and a CGS. Mac has his genius, 3 Wimbledon's and 4 USO's, as well as being the greatest Doubles player anyone has probably ever seen. But he's nowhere near the career accomplishments of Novak.

Before you go calling other people trolls, please point me to the place I ever said any such thing and I'll answer your idiotic question. Until then I'm just going to go stand in the corner until you go away, because there doesn't seem to be much point in conversing with someone intent on getting you to answer for things he imagines you said rather than the things you actually did. Go play crazy with someone else.ibbi, You and other trolls use to say that tennis at the top increases from decade to decade. I just brought a good counter argument (only oldies on the top now).

Don't worry, anybody who doesn't agree with a false premise that Rosewall is the GOAT is a troll by default, according to The Visionary.Before you go calling other people trolls, please point me to the place I ever said any such thing and I'll answer your idiotic question.
