Can you imagine if Djoker, Fed, and Rafa all didn’t have the other two to worry about?! They’d probably have like 30 plus majors. Anyways, I honestly don’t know who I’d say. They all have a case to be #1 in my opinion.

Actually I'm changing my answer: Steffi Graf. Not kidding.

Yes I have go to go with Fed. He just makes it look Soo easy.
On the women's side as much as I loved Settif's game I'm going Monica Seles.

Put Borg on a training program like these guys are in and he would be unstoppable

peak one match performance, adjusted for era.

Roger Federer or Bjorn Borg and I don't think its close

His run of winning Wimbledon and French same Years when the surfaces were so vastly different and they didn’t try to slow things up for rallies in Wimbledon is scary amazing.

Laver also as he won the Slam twice. Sorry that should be my answer. He’s the true GOAT

Both at his peak vs Sampras at his peak would have made a brilliant final.

Lendl is the father of modern tennis. If he’d played 20 years later he’d won a career slam. He was so damn good.

I never really liked the guy at the time and I know three players have now blown by his career accomplishments. But, my answer on this is Sampras.

Was the first to just stay on the baseline and pulverize the ball with heavy topspin. Now almost everybody plays that way. Many consider him the father of the modern game.

Sampras is bar none the greatest server the games ever seen

What he could do to hold a serve is crazy. I’m huge Pistol Pete fan but he’s not as good as Laver. Borg quitting like he did makes him a level below

Wilander is the ultimate what if in these conversations
