re: Unofficial 2021 - The Championships - Wimbledon thread.

Peak Sampras smokes them all at pre-2002 Wimbledon.

I never liked Pete back in the day because I was a big Agassi fan. But, there are few things I think now about him. One is that I actually feel A+ Pete is the best level of anybody ever. I know his career accomplishments are not there compared to the Big Three. I'm just talking about best on a certain day. There were days he was untouchable, even against prime Agassi. Also, there is a cliche about how you measure greatness by how much better someone was compared to his peers. Well, Pete almost doubled the majors of his closest competitor and was overwhelmingly the best of his generation. That never really happened through the Connors/McEnroe/Lendl/Wilander/Edberg/Becker years, although Borg was a bit of an outlier, I suppose. And, the Big Three all at 20 speaks for itself.

Novak is the leader of the pack on GOAT talk due to the head to head. I'm guessing he has total weeks at number one, too. A calendar slam would end all arguments.
