Greatest Tennis Era Ever?
Novak Djokovic just won his 7th Wimbledon.
Rafael Nadal has 22 major titles to his name and Roger Federer only has 20.
Is this the greatest tennis era of all time?

It is the best by leaps and bounds, and it has also been long enough to be TWO eras. Novak has 21 majors by the way, and the totals are probably reversed with Nadal if he had been allowed to play in Australia.

I look back at Bird, Jordan, and Magic in the NBA. Could they play in the NBA today? I have little doubt they could.
McEnroe, Borg, Connors? Could they play tennis today? Heck, even Sampras.
It is an elite level of tennis.

Imagine how many majors any of the big three would have if even one of the other three weren't around!

I would think a great era would be one that had half a dozen or more great players winning the majors. My opinion and these players themselves are great.
