How many slams would Laver, Borg, Feder, Sampras have if you remove the "IF's"
With these guys there are allways if's. What I mean with this is that we allways say, Borg got 11 slams but what "IF" he hadn't retired so young? how many would he have had in total? or... how many would he have had if he played the australien more often? (which was played on grass at the time)
with Laver, could he have less slams "IF" the two grand slams he won would have been played in 3 different surfaces instead of two? at the same time, Laver didn't play for a long long time, he had a big pause in his carreer... what if he had played those years? how may slams would he have?
with sampras I think there is no "if" his carreer is as straight forward as his game. 14 slams is what he got and what he desserved, i don't think he could have goten any more or any less.
With Federer, there's allways the what if the greatest clay court player in history (Nadal) wasn't around in his same era? Roger would already have 2 calendar year grand slams and 15 total. but of course Roger's carreer is still ongoing and we can't know what's gona happen in the future.
so I guess with Roger and Sampras we pretty much know what would have happened but what about Borg and Laver?
