I have long been bothered by this question because I really never got to see the greats of the 70s and 80s play. I really didn't start watching tennis until about 2002ish. I've rewatched some of the Borg and Mcenroe and Lendl matches. What do you guys think that have been watching the game much longer?
1. Federer
2. Nadal
3. Borg
4. Samprus
5. ??
I would be inclined to put Djokovic at number 5. I watched some of these other greats. Aggasie was good but he was no Djokovic. Even though he has more titled. Novak will get there. He will get to 10 titles for sure. Honestly I have to say Federer in his prime is the best player I've ever seen, followed by Nadal. And I really would consider putting Nadal at number 1 but not sure. Borg seems like he could have dominated for about 3 more years had he stayed in the game. Probably won like 15 slams.
