What would a French Open Championship Mean for Djokovic

What would a French Open Championship mean for the legacy of Djokovic?

Right now, he seems to be an open era tier 4 great with Edberg, Becker, and Wilander. Would a championship at the French Open leap frog him over the tier 3 greats (Connors, McEnroe, Agassi, and Lendl) and into the tier 2 greats with Nadal, Borg, and Sampras?

he'd leapfrog ahead of nadal into tier 3 with agassi

If he wins the French, he'll have a Career Grand Slam. And he'll have 7 Slams total. And the fact he'll have beaten the great Nadal yet again is very significant.
So, Yes Djokovic will be in that 3rd Tier, as you mentioned.
Especially if/when he reaches 8 Slams just like Connors, Agassi, Lendl.
If Djokovic reaches 10, he should be in that 2nd Tier with Sampras, Borg, Nadal.
Btw, if Nadal wins his 12th Slam at this French Open, you gotta put him in Tier 1.
Infact, Tier 1 right now should be Federer, Sampras, and Laver. Tier 2 is probably Borg and Nadal right now.

Please! In the open era, its Federer by himself. Sampras is in Tier 2 with Borg and Nadal. Laver is not really placed because of playing pre-open era.

And I think that it would put him right at Agassi in terms of greatness.

I agree with you guys.

It would put a huge dent in Rafa's confidence for sure.

You are right, i dont think nadal could handle djokovic being put in t3 with agassi.

if Joker wins the french Open, he wouldn't be too far behind Agassi. Agassi also won the singles gold medal, so if Joker wins the French Open and goes to 7 slams, then he'd need about 2 more slams( 9 total)and 3 ms1000 titles (17 total like Agassi)to be about on par with Agassi.

If Joker wins the French Open, Joker vs Agassi will look like this:


Joker:
7 slams
14 ms1000 titles
2 wtf
1 Davis Cup

Agassi:
8 slams
17 ms1000 titles
1 singles gold
2 davis Cups
1 wtf
