Octorok will confirm it.
Goran is the choke master, sad but nah
Octorok will confirm it.
Oh yeah, pre-open era as well, i suppose.Rosewall, Gonzales, Hoad, Budge, Tilden lol
Wow, McEnroe unseated Borg when Borg was still at his peak, and no mention of McEnroe. Is this about longevity or greatness? McEnroe's 1984 final may be the best final ever played at Wimbledon. He made Jimmy Connors look like a rank amateur.
And no, finally beating a guy when your in your prime and he enters his mid-30s does not mean you are better than him. That's just what's supposed to happen, last two crops of useless players being the exception.
Disgusting, for sure, if you're one of those separate the art from the artist folks, then I get your point of view, but then why are such moral standards not held against the organizer of the Adria Tour? Because other folks in Serbia were doing the same? Just because it's legal doesn't make it right, right? I mean we do know deaths in Serbia spiked a month after these events.Bill Tilden does not make the list due to his outside 'interests'
I would be more inclined putting Federer in the conversation for 5th spot than ever considering a worthless POS like Tilden.
What about Murray and Roddick?Goran is the choke master, sad but nah
What? Fed is 1-3 vs Djoker who as you said is much younger.Federer is considerably older, and played a lot at Halle which has a depleted field.
I am not new to tennis. Would you rate 5 Eastbourne titles above 1 Wimbledon title?
Murray hasn't consistently done Djokovic on grass. Djokovic has consistently done Federer.
What? Fed is 1-3 vs Djoker who as you said is much younger.
Murray is 2-0 against Djoker. You are new to tennis.
He is just another Djokovic fanatic and troll.What? Fed is 1-3 vs Djoker who as you said is much younger.
Murray is 2-0 against Djoker. You are new to tennis.
His competition on grass was much better than Djokers. You are brand new to tennis and don't have any idea what you are talking about if you say Fed is not top 5 on grass.Federer is older hence he has been able to win more titles on grass. Are you mentally r3tarded?
Careful now, thats basically a bannable offense.So you think Federer being older has no advantage over Djokovic when it comes to grass titles won?
Thanks for confirming you are mentally r3tarded.

But if you want to play the h2h game then Murray is better than Djoker on grass. Clear cut.
Careful now, thats basically a bannable offense.
I dread to think of the damage he would have done if his peak was inside top 10.Djokovic grass peak outside top 10 all time lelelelelel
You mean the guys that Fed dominated on grass?Mate Federer was playing Hewitt in Wimbledon semifinals how is that difficult competition? Hewitt is a megadonk on grass who managed to beat a pre fatbandian in his first grass tournament. Djokovic had Nadal and Federer, as well as Murray.
Spare me with your offenses you troll and shut a hell up.So you think Federer being older has no advantage over Djokovic when it comes to grass titles won?

a megadonk

To be fair, it wasn't like it took me 5 mins to think of an answer. I've been debating this with myself all day - it was either Borg or Sampras.
You mean the guys that Fed dominated on grass?
Djoker played Anderson in a final and could barely tie an old man at WC and got outplayed.
Spare me with your offenses you troll and shut a hell up.
He's gone already. The guy was fun. Oh well.
Welcome to the forum, fellow Djokovic fan.
lolHe's gone already. The guy was fun. Oh well.
Agreed as @Sunny Ali and I have debated 3-0 against Federer in finals.
#3 all time.
#1 on medium fast grass.
Easy peazy.
ThisDjokovic has a winning record over Federer on grass, has beaten Federer in all Wimbledon finals, and Federer's competition is clearly not as strong as Djokovic's.
What don't people understand about this?
Becker should be there surely?Obviously these 4 guys are the best grasscourters ever, but who do you think is the best; Feel free to also include your 1-5 out of the bunch as well as vote for the best
I think it's Borg, closely followed by Sampras, but Djokovic could still surpass both. 4th spot I would say Laver.
Also, who do you think demonstrated the highest level of play in a single match? I would say krajicek against Sampras. I would pick Federer for his 03 SF, but Roddick was serving at 50% and no one ever talks about how atrocious he played that day.
No love for Boris or Stefan? How could you place Krajicek (who won a single Wimbledon) over multiple Wimbledon winners? How about Jimbo, he won 2 as well.I have Fed, Pete, Krajicek, Mac, and hypothetical peak Safin in my top 5.
Well Sword & @Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil ... @Sunny014 just told me in another thread that Federer is Djokovic's daddy on grass. I find it really difficult to wrap my head around how people come to such conclusions when established facts suggest the complete opposite. Even eliminating all the finals Federer lost to Djokovic only gives him a 1-0 lead over Djokovic at Wimbledon
In my opinion Djokovic would be a contender on any type of grass, slow or fast. He'll likely come up short against a peak Sampras over the course of multiple matches but if a one-slam wonder such as Krajicek could pull out the odd win against Sampras, why not Djokovic?
Borg was a legend on grass, but Federer and Sampras have to rank above him. Maybe even Djokovic, although that's more of a debate.Obviously these 4 guys are the best grasscourters ever, but who do you think is the best; Feel free to also include your 1-5 out of the bunch as well as vote for the best

Trust me, you can get banned for much less offensive wordsCareful now, thats basically a bannable offense.

OP got banned lolOP: "4th spot I would say Laver"
Also OP: Hasn't watched a single match Laver has played
(Also sorry if you have actually watched a 5 minute Laver highlight video OP, but I notice that most of the time people post threads like this even that isn't true.)
In OP's defense, I haven't watched too many full Laver matches either, mostly because they're so hard to come by. Ditto for Rosewall. But I think I know their stats well enough to confidently say both of them are GOAT contenders.OP: "4th spot I would say Laver"

Wow, so fast! Might be double-accounting. Another ban might be coming soon...OP got banned lol
TTW speedrun new recordOP got banned lol
Exactly. But you don't make threads like this talking about who the best grasscourt player is. Rankings are pretty useless when comparing across 60 years of a sport.In OP's defense, I haven't watched too many full Laver matches either, mostly because they're so hard to come by. Ditto for Rosewall. But I think I know their stats well enough to confidently say both of them are GOAT contenders.
I'm actually wondering how quickly you could potentially get banned. Someone could try to do a speedrun.TTW speedrun new record

No joke, they had a hit?Laver was a relentless attacker, but also great defender. I heard John Newcombe once say the problem with most players was sticking with a plan to beat them, with Laver there just didn't seem to be a way unless he was off his game.
Laver once beat my father, playing right handed
