If Djokovic wins Roland Garros 2012, will it be the strongest top 3 in history?

Say what you will about Murray but he has twice the # of Masters titles as any other slamless player. Plus being in 3 slam finals. Having a winning record vs Federer, and alot of wins over Nadal and Djokovic. Being very close to the year end #3 sevearl times and never getting it. You have to feel for him atleast a bit to still be slamless even if you arent a fan (which I am not).

AM is the best slamless player of the OE.:-?

the current rest of the top ten looks like a joke because the top 3 are so dominant.

much like how the top ten looked when federer and nadal were so dominant.

much like how the top ten looked when federer was so dominant.

if the slam wins were split up more evenly this era would look as strong as any.say if you give half of Federer's slam wins to to another player on tour,e.g. Jurgen Melzer. each would have 8 slams each. in roughly 13 years, they were able to rack up as many slams as Connors and Agassi have in their entire 20+ year careers. each have 1 more than Mcenroe and Wilander.
if you were to give 3 of Nadal's majors to djokovic, each would have 7. each equalling mcenroe and wilander and surpassing becker and edberg.

in this hypothetical world of more evenly distributed slam wins, this era would consist of two connors/agassi caliber players playing with a mcenroe and a wilander. all 4 racking up their slam wins in 13 years. no one would be seen as a GOAT candidate, but the era wouldn't be dismissed as a weak one.

Exactly, tells you how easy Federer had it when he was racking them up. Novak's accomplishments mean so much more.

Nadal had it easy also.

And you're right, Novak's accomplishments mean so much more.....
