Is Agassi forever ahead of Rafa in being a more diverse champion?

[PCXL-Fan]

Is Andre Agassi permanently 1 fast grass slam & 1 carpet World Tour Final ahead of Nadal as a more diverse champion?
Agassi has won-

Australian Open 1995, 2000, 2001, 2003
RolandGarros1999
Wimbledon1992
USOpen1994,1999
WTF1990 (carpet)

Since Agassi won a Slam on serve&volley era pre-slowed fast-grass (Wimbledon), a World Tour Final on carpet vs #1 ranked Prime Edberg, and multiple slower surface Slams (Roland Garros and Australian) would this place him as a more diverse champion than Nadal, having won the biggest titles of all the four surfaces (and Nadal has never done this)? If current fast surfaces are counter to Nadals game, how would he win the biggest fast court events vs top players in the greater surface diversification in the 90s? What is Nadals diversification legacy if there has been a huge push for surface homogenization in Nadal's era, and Nadal cannot win on the current lukewarmishly current "fastcourts"?

Agassi is forever ahead of EVERYONE in that department. He got the "real" Career grand slam and indoor titles on 5 differently distinct surfaces.

No one else can and no one else will ever say that.

Right below Laver's 2 Calendars and record 200 titles, its the most impressive accomplishment there will ever be IMO.

well unless they introduce new surfaces, decide to differentiate between slow and fast surfaces, or re-introduce past surfaces (carpet) yeah, but you never know. Some experimentation might take place in future, a la recent blue clay court

minor dig at Agassi: 6 out of 8 slams on hard court. not the most diverse thing ever.

Agassi may be a more diverse champion but he was also more of a headcase and went missing for several years during his career. Rafa has been far more consistent, winning at least one slam title for 8 consecutive years, an equal record.

Isn't that *diversity*..? :twisted:
