u seriously think nadal is not better than lendl and mcenroe?.............do u want to debate this?
.-.... no i do not want to debate it, since it`s pointless. you can`t compare times, that is my point. but i agree nadal is among the best, but if he is the best in history, is impossible to say. |

what's confused you aaron, Lee Westwood had been the World Number 1 when he had never - and still hasnt won a major, tiger woods had slipped down the rankings but had won 14 majors - which one was greater? woods. Form is temporary and majors is permanentCool
this is a much better explanation than your original post |

but also, Tiger has been no.1 during his majorless 5 years too
 (on a sort of related note but not relevant to this thread, only slamless/majorless no.1's are used to bash the rankings. However, multiple year end no.1s have gone slamless on WTA Tour (Hingis, Davenport(I think)) in the years they were year end no.1 at least once yet because they won previously, it wasnt seen as a flaw in the rankings) |

this is what laver said about it:
Laver, the only tennis player to achieve the Grand Slam twice, believes Federer's consistency over the six to eight years when he was at the top of the game is what sets him apart from contemporaries like Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. "When I look at Federer, with what he's accomplished, against the competition that he's accomplished it with, I'd have to say I would think that Roger is the greatest player,'' Laver said. But the Australian, who won the Grand Slam in 1962 and 1969 and is still the only man to have won it in the Open era, was quick to add he's not sure he can call Federer the greatest of all time. "I've always said if you're the best in your era, that's as good as you really can do. You could take it back to 'Is it Fred Perry, is it Don Budge, is it myself that came along?'''

Well surely even the Nadal haters agree he is now undisputed second of all time, joint second in total grand slams, but unlike Sampras has won them all, baffled by a comment from bb66 that Nadal is not even close, where would he rate him, 10th?
