RE: Why Roger Federer is the undisputed G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time)

Haha I just read this after quoting the same stats on other surfaces. Glad we are on the same page.

In addition I always like to bring into play the length of the grass court season (arguably Federers best surface) where there are no Masters 1000 tournaments yet clay season has 3 Masters.
I don't think this is fair to the head to head and the tournament titles either, which is why I discount them and focus on the No.1 spot, the only we we can truly decide as it covers all surfaces.

oh wow, I didn't know that. I wonder why. I can see elongating the clay season a little, since it's most dissimilar from other surfaces, but that's weird that it's 3 and 0 for grass.

I wonder if a part of it is to keep the image of Wimbledon more special, like there aren't even any other kind of important grass tournaments lol

I don't know the answer if I am honest. Grass is just as unique and the only thing I can think is that in the 50's most tennis was Grass and they tried to gear away from that and in the process they lost a chunk of the season by trying to change it and now there's very little left......just a thought.
