M.O.N. He is always wrong and hates it when people dont agree with his opinionated opinion. He quote Lavers as saying Federer is not the greatest player of all time.

What ZB doesn't do is say why he said that. It is called selective reading. Laver said no to the question as he doesn't believe in the question in the first place. He then went on to say that you cannot compare tennis in his era and tennis now. They are different as chalk and cheese.

He does call him the greatest tennis player of the modern era and I guess we can all then say that Laver was the best of his era.

Someone pointed out below about Laver playing mostly on grass and Grand Slams were 3/4 on grass then. Again you cannot compare his achievements with anyone of the modern era as everyting is different now. Rackets, courts, even travel. Lets face his early trips to teh US or Europe were made by SHIP.

As usual you talk s.h.i.t. ZB and yes you hate been proven wrong

Yawwwwn.

You were wrong about Federer winning another Slam. Wrong wrong wrong wrong, wrong wrong wrong wrong. You're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong.

I think this memorable post from becoblue (date: 42/1/09) says it all -


"I find the title of Greatest Of All Time a bit ridiculous, because every player has strengths and weaknesses, and what are you going to use as criteria to measure GOAT anyway? It's all a matter of opinion, and these are always subjective.

I didn't watch a lot of tennis until recent years, but I did enjoy watching Bjorn Borg - he was so economical with his movements on court, never wasted a step.

What I'd really love to be able to do, but impossible, is to watch the old stars - Hoad, Rosewall, Anderson, Emerson, Fraser, Cooper, Laver, Court, etc. playing. Especially if we could make them mid-20s again and pit them against the current stars."

Wise words from a Wise Lady. Pity she never became a regular but I can understand why. GOAT debaters take heed!

i knew this was bound to happen once RF won RG.

The GOAT debate is rearing it's ugly head yet again...and again...and again.

Not just here but all tennis websites. Don't tennis fans have anything more to discuss and talk about?

I am considering staying away from the messageboards (particularly this one) until the start of wimbledon.
Perhaps then we'll see range of topics than the tiresome whose GOAT. See you all at Wimbledon.

Bye Now!

So when someone disagrees with you, you resort to name-calling?

I know Rocket didn't play Slams between 63 and 68. And I know you only have to beat whoever is at the other end. But you can not deny that the opposition and conditions are a lot tougher in the 21st century than when Laver was running around with a wooden racquet.

Federer has won Wimbledon five times. Imagine if he got to play Wimbledon three times a year - he might have won well over 20 Slams by now!

Yeah yeah yeah, but in Laver's day

three out of four Slams were played on grass

most countries in the world didn't even have players of international standard

Laver only won three other Slams outside of those two years (1962 and 1969) in a twenty year career

Pete says Federer is the greatest. That's good enough for me.

Hello

You say Federer "fluked" a win at the French Open.

You don't know anything about tennis. For how can u type something so dumb you dummi when Roger won 13 Grand Slam b4. Your "opinion" is nothing more than pejudice against Roger who is now Greatest Of All Time.

And how do u kno Nadal can win more French Open titles.

"You don't know anything about Tennis."
Really? I spose the terms and names Nadal,Federer and French open have nothing to do with tennis then?
"If that is your atitude"
Its called an opinion, look it up in the dictionary one time
