Best tennis player ever (male)

4.15 Ranking created by antoine
Being the only man to have ever won two Grand Slams, you would think that Rod Laver would dominate this ranking. However Pete Sampras won more major titles than Laver (14 vs 11), a feat that Swiss Roger Federer seems to be able to surpass. Besides, Grand Slam titles are not the only reference to go by. ATP victories are a powerful indicator too and no one won more than legend Jimmy Connors. Most players below have won at least 25 ATP titles or 3 Grand Slam tournaments.

laver,borg,mcenroe,conners,should not be ahead of nadel,nadel's volley is harder than their serve,if they were being served by nadel they would not even make a return,if these guys,laver,borg,mcenroe,conners were to play againts the williams sisters they would get clobbered they probably would'nt even win a point let alone a game
