Not the greatest for me but the greatest in the final quartet.

Fed.

 

I was at least saved the headache of deciding between Rafa and Djoko.

Laver for me. He edged the #1 from Pete and Fed, on slams he was a close second to Fed when pro years are taken into account. He won 5 Davis Cups to add to that and had longevity beyond anyone else really, it is a whisker between him and Fed and 2 calendar year grand slams does it for me eventually

In the semis I said this:

Close between Fed, Djoko and Laver. Gone for Fed. Think I should have gone with Laver.

Managed to right that wrong in the final and gone with laver !

And Rod leads with 5 to Roger's 4, Mac and Pete on 1 each currently.

This one is looking a lot closer than the ladies final at the moment!

20 votes in and Federer has pulled another vote back

Laver 11
Federer 7
McEnroe and Sampras 1 each.

Poll closes at 6 this evening.

All previous mens rounds had 22 votes in each poll, so it is probably/possibly too late for Fed to catch up, but you never know if some additional voters come in and increase the voting...

Rod's record would have been even better if he hadn't have been blocked from playing when the players broke away to form their own association. He was totally dominant until that happened, and was still the best player for a couple of years when he was allowed to return to the circuit, even though by then, he was an old man. The Rockhampton Rocket is a worthy winner for me, and I am happy others see it.

We have reached 22 votes now and scores stand as:

Laver 12
Federer 8
McEnroe and Sampras 1 each.

Poll closes at 6 this evening. Just over an hour left, hard to see Fed closing that gap now

So, it is 9 mins early, but no votes are coming in and I am going to call this a result and poll closed (as I have stuff to get on with!!)

So, the player voted by the members of this board who voted consistently across the past few days is that Rod Laver is the Greatest male player ever!

That debate may rage, but congrats to Rod and thanks for all taking part!
