And, sorry to plagiarize you:

OH, wait.... CAN we include doubles accomplishments now?

Cool, that'd drop Novak down to about #127, Rafa at #128, Roger at #129.....

Why not? A goal has been reached now it's time to reassess Djokovic's place within the game. A decade ago the idea that any male player would ever win as many singles slams as even Evert, or Navratilova was unthinkable, and now a male player has the opportunity to eclipse Court's record.

This sort of thinking is sad.
