re: Agassi Says Nadal and Federer are the Best Players in History

But Andre doesn't give himself that much love either.

“I’m way down the list from guys like that. I did manage to win all of [the Slams], but that’s just the first criterion in my mind. … For me, those two [Federer and Nadal] and [Rod] Laver are in a whole other tier.”

Tangent alert.

Fwiw, I think Agassi, and also McEnroe and Borg are prime examples of why a player's career isn't defined historically solely on the number of majors they won.

Agassi wasted years in his prime. Mcenroe took a year off from the game when he was at his absolute best, so he could do blow with his cokehead wife (and he never won another major), and Borg just straight up quit in his prime.

Tangent over.
