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
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.
