the list is so laughable it doesn't even deserve our attention........get over the blind love, fff.......american media will do anything to hype up their events and entertain their audiences to increase the ratings........putting two of the currently active players in the top 5 of all time goes to show their intent.......they just need attention........
1. putting men and woman and still ranking steffi at no.3 is retarded.......graf clearly overshadows any men's player's achievements.......
2. a player who got owned by his biggest rival through out his career can never be the #1 in that list.......he can't even be the best player of his era, let alone of all time.......
3. pushing lendl down to 12 and pancho gonzalez down to 23 is puke-worthy........
the list of downright pathetic i don't even feel like looking at it in detail.......in my honest opinion, goat discussions should end with sampras.......none of these current three super stars should be included in the debate, they all clearly benefited from surface homogenization and enjoyed top class pampering from ITF and ATP.......there's a reason why we see such a wide gap between the top 3 and the rest.......
i would rate sampras at the top, followed by rod laver, bjorn borg, emerson, budge, rosewall and lendl........
rafa, fed and djokovic defaulted from the debate and mentioned in the column "honorary mentions".......
