I am a bit of a Fedtard and really don't like Nadal for a lot of reasons. But, if he gets to 18, even with 10 RG, he is GOAT.


Do you think if a player dominated Wimbledon like Nadal does the French Open that the player would be considered GOAT?

Depends on what else he does. But nobody has dominated an event like Rafa has dominated the French.

We value Wimbledon more because of history/prestige/mystique, but grass is a fluky arse surface. Guys like Roddick or Ivanisevic could easily have four Wimbledons if things had broken the right way. Doesn't mean they are all time greats. Wimbledon shouldn't carry that much more value when evaluating greatness. Heck, I think you can argue the hard court tournaments should carry the most weight because it is the most neutral surface.
