Which of these would you consider better?

[DjokoLand]

Player A
In his peak for 3/4 seasons his level was 9.5 out of 10. But after it his level was between 6 and 7 for 7 seasons.
Or

Player B
In his peak for 3/4 seasons he was 8.5 but after his level is 7.5 for 7 seasons ?

Say both win close to the same ? Yes player A peak was higher but Player B was at a higher level for more of his career ?
This isn’t based on any actual players just wondering what people think.

Player A here is more memorable and likely the bigger star

…but yet another thinly veiled Novak vs Federer thread cmon guys lol

Depends on the calculations for the hypothetical number of slam titles as a proxy for level of play. Something like estimating for each high level run how likely it would be to bring a title against top competition within a certain range. Probably ends up with something like a logarithmic or exponential scale linked to level of play. I guess "7,5" is relatively unlikely to win in a proper competitive environment i.e. when there's a prime ATG present, so Player A wins.

Player C who peaks on 1 surface every year and is injured when he loses is better than Player A or Player B.

Because Player C has played both A and B at their peaks and has beaten them both on their favourite surfaces.

Hence Player C despite being a 1 trick 1 dimensional pony is better than A and B according to a few experts
