Rivalries first, records second

Ranked list by Kai Mendes · 16 items · 0 likes

I ranked by how much each player made the sport worth watching, then used the record book to break ties.

1. Roger Federer Person

   Wimbledon 2007 against Nadal was the best match I have watched live on a screen.

2. Rafael Nadal Person
3. Novak Djokovic Person

   The 2019 Wimbledon final against Federer took five hours and he never blinked.

4. Serena Williams Person

   Twenty-three Slams in the Open era, and many after having a child.

5. Steffi Graf Person

   The 1988 Golden Slam is a season I keep coming back to.

6. Martina Navratilova Person
7. Rod Laver Person
8. Pete Sampras Person
9. Björn Borg Person
10. Andre Agassi Person
11. John McEnroe Person

    Hard to like and impossible to look away from.

12. Billie Jean King Person
13. Margaret Court Person
14. Monica Seles Person

    Her career was cut off at its peak, and I still count what she did.

15. Chris Evert Person
16. Andy Murray Person
