Heart/Mind thing....I would love to see Federer take it....but I've gotta pick Joker here (And from here on out...he's the better bet at this point).
I was not throwing shade at Bjorn and I know his resume. I was simply stating that from a pure statistical point of view, Nadal winning 9 of his 14 slams is comparable to other greats and that can't be used against him. I mean Sampras was considered the GOAT in the 90s (and was mine) and he never even reached a final at the French and only had a semi in '96 where he was blown by Kafel.
Borg won 5 wimbledons and 4 straight at FO and Wimby. 4 2nd place finishes at US Open and only played AUS once cuz he didnt feel like it. He won 83% of his W-L, 90% of matches in GS's and 41% of all GS's entered. Won 3-4 GS's without losing a set and he retired at 26 to pimp hoes.
Watch your slander of the Ice Man.He's a GOAT candidate.
Fair enough. Just sayin that the comment insinuated (to me anyway) that borg was somewhat surface specific. He was great everywhere. Usually when I go about ranking players all time I use peak skills + achievements + duration (some combination). If I think that, at their best, a specific players peak was very very high then Ill rate them higher than some players who may have a better overall resume and consistency.
how you placin all these bets and getting paid out?

Let's not forget that the case of Nadal and his "inflated" GS titles number is the same as Sampras with Wimby (7/14), Emerson and the Aussie (6/12), Connors and the USO (5/8), Borg and the French (6/11) and even Novak with the Aussie (5/8). The Nadal case is not rare at all and there are greats who just are too good on some surface in the era they play.
Anyway, let's get back to that female final. Serena with 3 doubles already
Nadal is lucky as hell Juan Martin del Potro is injured
Everybody is. Same with Soderling, I'm sure. Both are entertaining players and Delpo my current fav since his French Open semi against Federer. I've been starving to see him playNadal is lucky as hell Juan Martin del Potro is injured

They had a great contrast in styles but he only caused Nadal (a lot) of problems on hard courts.
I'm so pissed JMPD wrist is shot and that Soderling has mono cause those two were just coming along
Hes got so many records that he's gotta be top 5
i think he only lost to world #1s in finals too 
saw him play at a legends tournament on har-tru and i thought i was witnessing a god on earth..prompted me to buy his racquet and use it when i was a kid
