Talk About Tennis 2.0

This looks as if it were digitally created but I'll post it anyway.

The Daily Fail wants me to remove my ad blocker so I'll post the link after the list of names. I don't think players who were active before the open era, including Laver, should be compared to people who were active afterwards. We could also split the players by technology - wooden racquets vs the new models - but I guess that's also asking too much.

1. Novak Djokovic
2. Serena Williams
3. Steffi Graf
4. Rafael Nadal
5. Roger Federer
6. Martina Navratilova
7. Rod Laver
8. Helen Wills
9. Chris Evert
10. Margaret Court
11. Bjorn Borg
12. Pete Sampras
13. Monica Seles
14. Ken Rosewall
15. Billie Jean King
16. John McEnroe
17. Suzanne Lenglen
18. Venus Williams
19. Jimmy Connors
20. Andre Agassi
21. Ivan Lendl
22. Justine Henin
23. Don Budge
24. Andy Murray
25. Fred Perry

Suzanne Lenglen? Really? I'm glad they made one list though.

Gonzales would be #1 in my list

Rublev has power, Ruud doesn't...Rublev will naturally do better where power counts..
But the analysis on serve return is fascinating...
