right now: GUGA (at the end of his career Guga could be considered the best ever)
ever: Vilas
but you are talking just about the south americans or latinos in general?
then i may add two great champions of the past: Rafael Osuna, and Pancho González (from other times, is true, but they won several GS's in singles and doubles), both Mexicans (but Pancho Gonzalez represented USA)
since the latinos non southamericans can't be listed here i need to say that there are more southamericnas that were a great champions:
Alex Olmedo
Pancho Segura
Andrés Gómez
José Luis Clerc
just a few of them
but not southamericas: Raúl Ramírez, and Antonio Palafox, besides Pancho González and Rafael Osuna were magnificent players.
none of them was born in USA (they are Americans but "Latin Americans") Alex Olmedo was born in Perú and Pancho Segura in Ecuador. But as many players, for economical or political reasons they played representing USA, as Seles or Navratilova or Lendl later.
Give a top 2 for each slam.
AO: Tsitsipas, Nadal/Medvedev (cop-out I know)
FO: Thiem, Nadal
WB: Zverev, Aliassime
USO: Thiem, Sinner
I can't wait for Thiem and Tsitsipas to rule. The short time before Sinner takes over :devil smile of old MTF.
Of course I equally wouldn't mind a Nadal YCGS.
The time has come to choose the match of the decade (you can aim for whatever you like, quality, impact, emotions, everything)...
I think we had enough time for nominations and we have obtained a good pool to chose the finalists. So, here we go, single choice poll for the matches with at least...
The end is here so who do you think was the most overrated player in terms of being rated way higher than their actual abilities/results and also is talked about way too much for their caliber?
Great insight into PEAK Federer and what he was doing and his mindset, awesome vid!
