the greatest?

Now that Rafa has won 99 point-somthing percent of his matches on clay in the last four years, it is time to consider whether he is the greatest ever on crushed tile. If he is, the man he would replace is Borg, who won the French Open six times.

Rafa is better. But in the meantime, Borg is considered bold to have predicted that Nadal will win his first Wimbledon this year. Borg won five Wimbledons to go with his six at Roland Garros. During the years that Borg dominated the European grand slams he did not even bother to travel to Australia for the open.

This means that Borg essentially won two-thirds of the grand slams for a remarkable five years. It is a record that makes Sampras's efficiency in the slams look mediocre. It makes you think that Borg's name does not come up enough in the debate over who (Federer, Sampras, et cetera) is the greatest of all time.
