Nadal is the clay GOAT.
There isn't a hard courts Goat, there isn't a grass Goat, there isn't an overall Goat, but Rafa is the Clay Goat. No doubt about that.

2009 was a weak year too but 2008 was GOAT

changing slams to BO3 would kill the sport

While I agree, I've seen enough people use weak era argument. And the Jordan aspect of concentrated excellence for Borg. Along with how Borg set the precedent, etc.

That the ball is round?

Also, allowing Djokovic to run the ATP would kill tennis...

could be
but the color is a different matter, people argue whether it's green or yellow
I'm sure you can find someone who'd argue that the ball being fluffy makes it not round

different competitions, players back in Borg's days were more specialized to play on clay
not to mention how early Borg retired
I'd agree Nadal is the clay goat but Borg makes it more close then records would suggest

I've seen two people disagree with this in the other thread.

I bet these would be the same people claiming Federer is GOAT, that this is the weakest era ever and that clay should be banned...

I'll go more extreme and say 2000 since Sampras' reign had ended and he went over 2 years without winning a tournament until his last at 2002 USO! Hewitt could be a beast and had plenty of heart, but no real weapons so him being #1 for any real length of time proves how weak things had become! Him winning Wimbledon over Nalbandian tells it all! That happened before the homogenization of courts so there couldn't haven't have been too much pressure on Lleyton to hold the top rank for well over a year!

Lleyton is the weakest multi-YE1 by far, for the reasons you mention.I'll go more extreme and say 2000 since Sampras' reign had ended and he went over 2 years without winning a tournament until his last at 2002 USO! Hewitt could be a beast and had plenty of heart, but no real weapons so him being #1 for any real length of time proves how weak things had become! Him winning Wimbledon over Nalbandian tells it all!

Not all slams were like Wimb 2002.I'll go more extreme and say 2000 since Sampras' reign had ended and he went over 2 years without winning a tournament until his last at 2002 USO!

Homogenization has killed variety in tennis. All surfaces are basically the same.

I disagree.
Rafa winning the first ever October/indoor FO by trashing Djokovic was legendary.
Thiem finally winning a slam in weird conditions was legendary. People getting triggered that he won it the way he won it is an added bonus.
The AO finale was exciting.
Wimbledon organizers showed how little they give a hoot about tennis. That was awesome too, a revelation to all the Wimby worshippers.
