It's not the "golden era". Cilic won a Grand Slam for God's sake.

Cilic is one of the weakest slam winners ever, but he played an amazing tournament. He's still better than Gaudio though, despite Gaudio's top 10 finish in 2005.

But they had no competition... This has been the weakest era.

I think the strongest era was early/mid 90s. Amazing tennis and great competition. Top 10 were Fed/Nadal/Djoko quality.

Does playing one another count?
