[BoyBrumby]

Wilander & Fed.

Tough on Emerson, but I suspect his GS tally is inflated a bit by the absence of some big names on the pro tour.

Wilander & Emerson

 

[Sanz]

Tough on Emerson, but I suspect his GS tally is inflated a bit by the absence of some big names on the pro tour.

Don't start an argument but IMO Roger's GS tally is inflated as well because of the lack of talent in Men's Tennis.

Macca and Tilden.

 

[Simon]

Hewitt and Tilden

 

[Sanz]

Your Aussie Bias is just so outrageous. Hewitt along with Roddick is one of the worst players to win a Grandslam. Can't believe how people can pick him over McEnroe.
