Three observations

1. IUWTMA (I use way too many acronyms)
2. I really don’t no where to place winning all the masters given no-one has ever done it. You could argue it’s value you goes down as it only involves winning on 2 of the 3 surfaces.
3. For me personally a Davis Cup would come right after slams and a OG in what I would want to win but at the end of the day you are only as good as your teammates in Davis Cup and I can’t put very high on the list for that reason.

Is this question part of a study related to someone’s thesis concerning whether people will change their answers when asked the same question repeatedly over a period of time by different people ?

Wimbledon will always be #1 over RG, USO, and AO in term of prestige and recognition worldwide. If a casual fan who doesn't watch tennis would know who is Wimbledon champion than a RG or USO Champions. Nadal is the exception so if any future RG champion post-Nadal era would careless who won RG anyways. I still feel the same way about RG, I do not really care about that tournament despite worth 2,000 ATP points.

7. Olympic gold medal
8. Winning all M1000s

10. Hall of fame

This is the exact order I'd pick, except maybe YE#1 and WTF the other way around

Also winning all masters has never been done, so in a way I thought about that above the gold medal, but i still side with your order

You'd put the masters slam as number 1? I think I can guess why haha ;)

but seriously, that the hall of fame?!! and YEN1 over any of the slams?
