@@dachochiyo3992because all the other top players nowadays have added many important wins after the age of 26. Having said that he never won the US Open or Australian Open.
@@dachochiyo3992 when other players reached the peak Borg stopped to play..is it not surprising for you ? How many more title he could have playing until 35/38 yo like others did?
Very few have won more than 50 titles and only 5 have won more than 90. 1. Connors - 109 2. Federer - 103 3. Djokovic - 98 4. Lendl - 94 5. Nadal - 92 6. McEnroe - 77 7. Laver - 72 8. Borg - 66 9. Nastase - 65 10. Sampras - 64 11. Vilas - 62 12. Agassi - 60
Djokovic soon to move above Federer i am certain! Whether he'll top this chart by moving ahead of Connors or not remains an open conversation though, depending on several factors...such as further career longevity and average success rates...which means how much longer he can keep going winning 4-5 titles per season (please not that last season, when he won 7 titles was sole exception and rare anomaly compared to the previous five, when wouldn't win more than 4 or 5 titles...), i'm pretty sure he'll get past Federer at some point, i am just uncertain he can win 12 more of them, seems like a lot with his most recent reduced schedule and decreased strike rate...
But how many more seasons he will play should also be factored in...because if he'll keep his word and play until Olympics in LA in 2028, then it's plenty of opportunities to squeeze past number 109...but if we are looking at just a couple of seasons more (the end of 2026 latest!), then this might not be enough to do the job...we'll see soon enough!
@@Summon256 -- Currently, Djokovic's biggest goal is to win the Olympics Gold Medal in Singles Tennis this Summer at the 2024 Paris Olympics. -- If he wins that and does not win another Grand Slam this year he may well call it quits. -- He has played in only 5 tournaments this year and that includes the current Rome Masters!
@@MrRazorblade999 Djokovic will almost try his hardest to play the Olympics this year. It could be his last chance to get the coveted yet elusive Olympics Gold Medal in Singles Tennis. 🥇 🎾 🇷🇸
I truly believe, Sampras would have been relatively even with the big three, if their careers matched up, in time. His style would have matched Fed perfectly, and would have given Nole and Nadal all they could handle. And Edberg vs them would have been so much fun too. He was terrific.
I'm sorry, but this list is so wrong! 8 men missing (E.Dibbs, N.Davydenko, R.Ramirez, B.Gilbert, T,Engqvist, M. Rios, A.Corretja). Grand Slam Titels sometimes counted for singles alone, sometimes doubles titles were also counted. I love lists. But only if there are correct.
He did many mistakes in the video, but this is not the case...this is more like the case of someone not capable of reading title of the video properly...
And nobody cares about amateur era anyway, open era is the only one that matters...it wasn't even a proper tennis what they were playing in 60's or earlier! Lol
@@Summon256 were the rules the same as open era? Than it was proper tennis……it is like saying that amateur boxing is not proper boxing. This is more like the case of someone wanting to brag.
Bravo à vous tous,,,,le tennis 🎾🎾 c'est une passion avant tout ,,,, j'ai découvert cette passion avec Lendl Yvan ,,,,j, étais en admiration devant ce joueur,d,un calme olympien 😁,, mais quel jeu,,,,, depuis j,admire jokovick,,,en certains points ils se ressemblent,,, bravo à tous,a paris pour les jeux olympiques,,,,🎾👏🏅🏅🏅🏅💯💯💯💯🥰👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏❤️💕🌹💐😊
Who do you think you are deceiving. Jose Luis Clerc never won any Grand Slams, never even made any GS finals. And secondly, he's from Argentina and not Spain.
Tiene que corregir todo, porque José Luis Clerc no tenía que estar en la lista ni con esos títulos. El que tiene esos títulos que le dan a Clerc es Manolo Santana que sí era español
I think Djokovic will surpass Federer but can't over take Connors looking at his dip in form. He should have won Monte Carlo but didn't have the energy at his age.
Yes, Borg was and remains within the cream of the crop of best-ever players. By retiring at 26 years old, He denied himself the title of GOAT. A complete and unequivocal GOAT is and MUST be willing and eager to compete and EARN MORE titles, and that's Novak Djokovic, the one and only GOAT at this moment.
Marcelo Ríos no ganó un Grand slam porque en la final se encontró con un jugador drogado, que después de unos meses se confirmó su doping. Marcelo Ríos fue más grande que muchos los de esa lista.
Jimbo is the man 👊👊 he was the best returner of his era, with his little aluminium racket. Much more entertaining than the yawnsville 6'4" to 6'10" robots of today 😴
Rod Laver won 192 singles titles in a 16 year period (1960-75). That is an an average of 12 titles per year for 16 years. He won a total of 198 singles titles from 1957-75 (2 in 1957, 3 in 1958 and 1 in 1959).
Djokovic duela a quien le duela es el GOAT indiscutible el tipo domima en todas las estadisticas y la mayoria de titulos los gano conviviendo con Nadal,Murray y Federer, en poco tiempo superara a Connors
Q grande q fue. Guillermo Vilas . 62 titulos 4 grand slam . Y creador del golpe la gran whilly.... En el tenis argentino hubo antes y despues de Vilas...lastima q le robaron el numero uno en un año q gano 17 titulos y un gran slam...
@@GdF420 Borg played with wooden brooms and consequently with other speeds... Sampras, Agassi & co. practically had the same speed as Federer, Nadal, Djokovic etc... which is why it is possible to compare them.
@@WORKTOWIN-uc5ow The third is the only tennis player worthy of the name. However, History will remember that they played exclusively on the uniform and slow surfaces of today (changed in 2003)... basically another and easier sport...
Understand but it would be useful to mention it. However I think a list such as this should include players and titles even before the Open Era. This way we miss Roy Emerson who is the only player with a Grand Slam in both singles and doubles
Djokovic is 3rd but has 4 more slams and 12 master series more than Federer. I don't know about Connors stats but 50% of Roger's titles are 250/500. Not the same weight of Novak's titles.
The term GOAT or even implied did not exist at the time of Borg. This has only come in the last 10 years or so. In fact, back then top players didn't treat the slams as the be all or end all as some didn't play the Australian and some had to skip the French due to Team Tennis. They didn't know that many years later people would use slam count as the way to rate them historically.
didn't know Nadal is only one year older than Djokovic...if only Rafa was not so injuried during his career he would have been in the top for sure...one of the great strenght of Nole was also to stay healty most of his career! What an era we had the pleasure to watch with the best of the very best of tennis thanks to Nole Roger and Rafa!🥲
No puede ser que no este marcelo rios tiene 18 titulos de los cuales son 5 master series , john isner comienza el listado solo tiene 16 titulos y un master series
In open era after 1968 only 5.Before 1968 Rod Laver won 6.Total 11 grand slams.200 titles if you count before 1968.He achieved two calendar grand slam which was not equalled till date.
John Mcenroe ha vinto anche 9 titoli Slam in doppio ed 1 Slam doppio misto... Occorre "decidere" se indicare solo i titoli Slam in singolo oppure aggiungere quelli in doppio...altrimenti può generare confusione statistica!
You haven't given an accurate picture, because you haven't stated whether these are singles and/or doubles titles, particularly when you credit Grand Slam titles. For example, Harold Soloman and Cliff Richey, who did not win any Grand Slam titles in singles.
Grand Slams only used to always be amateur only and went "paid professional" from when ATP Tour commenced in 1969 i think. So Laver and Rosewall won a bunch of Grand Slams before 1969, and usually not considered in many lists. T
Are these totals only as professionals? For instance Laver won 6 slams as an amateur - but only 5 as a pro (after the slams went Open in 1968). And Roy Emerson - who won 12 slams as an amateur - isn’t there at all?
