It's obviously Grand Slam Runner Up - - - I remember all Slam runnerups, and I forgot who won the clown tournament of 2006 - was it Hrbarty or Stepanek that played off in a AMS?
GS runner up, but alot of players that become GS runners up are one tournament wonders. Whereas AMS winners tend to be more consistant, and therefore have better careers.
Tough choice- for a guy like Henman it would be the AMS because he'd still be remembered as a British loser if he made a slam final and didn't win it, so better to have some trophies than make a slam final and have none.
However for a guy like Boredo or Canas, they would easily pick the Slam final because they know they wouldn't ever get to one in a month of Sundays.
