Agreed. Edberg was the better volleyer but Sampras was the better server. Hard to say how McEnroe would stack up against Edberg and Sampras who are a generation later.

Federer is good but more baseliner now. 4 Rafter 5 Federer

I would put Henman ahead of Federer
Can't leave McEnroe out of the top 5. With all of his doubles wins along with his singles titles, only Sampras and Edberg could volley as well as him.

Navratilova certainly belongs in the list.

McEnroe
Edberg
Stich
Sampras

I would put the two last ones at 4 and 5 because they would usually make the point already with the serve and only have to finish it at net. Mc Enroe and Edberg had good serves but still had to do the work at net. Stich is probably one of the most talented players ever. He could play drops, angles, sting volleys in the corner, ... that is why I would put him on three.

Why do people say grand slam when it is used as a term for one tournament, calendar slam is much better...?
