My guys are no smush either. They are Borg and Pete. For some time I wanted Lendl to win one Wimbledon. By the way borg never played at Australian open. He would gotten some if had played for sure.

However, to become all time best I don't think he can get there. I would rank him 4th if he can surpass pete. The first three have to be Rod Laver, Roy Emerson and Agassi. If Roy or Rod would have come in any other era they both would have won 20 grand slam titles each. They beat up on each other in all four grand slams. As you may have already realised that my criteria of being the best of all time must include all 4 grand slam titles. Federer don't have french. Nadal is just unstopable in Clay.
