Only 6 goats but djoker close to 7

Looking at your list, it's occurring to me that you could have a really odd circumstance where a player (e.g., Djokovic) achieves statistical supremacy over another (e.g., Nadal) in most significant categories, yet remains several all-time ranking spots below him. In my mind, they are very nearly equals at this point. I think this list may be based strictly on major title haul?

Major title haul is my main criteria, yes. It's key for me that a player dominate on the sport's biggest stages.

Also, I don't think that "several all-time ranking spots" actually means that much when we're discussing the Tier 1 players (other than Federer and Laver, who have distanced themselves from everyone else). I don't think there's that much difference between Sampras at #3 and Borg at #7, for instance. Any combination of the orders of these players could be argued.

That list is my opinion.

However, those eight men are almost universally considered to be in Tier 1 of tennis greatness, whatever order you rank them in.

Can you prove that Djokovic is not almost universally considered (by tennis experts) to be a true immortal of the game?
