| Yeah he made wimby final and had most powerful serve(not best) but over five sets he only beat Borg and Connors once and never defeated McEnroe in five so having that record against the best he would not have won a slam if they where all playing the tournament.He is the same as players like Gaudio(lucky Fed lost to Kuerten in 04 french)Johansson(hungover Safin)Costa injured Ferrero Freanch 03)Teacher(again no Borg or Connors or McEnroe)that did not have to beat the best in a slam to win it.Very few one slam wonders have beaten the best, Krajicek(beat Sampras) Ivanisevic(Beat Rafter,Agassi,Safin and Henman the no 3 grass court player)Stich(beat Becker)Moya Corretja and Rios) Noah(Wilander)Chang(lendl,Edberg) and then rightfully gone on to win a Slam.Yes Tanner beat Vilas in final but he was a clay courter who never got past QF at wimby. And in the Wimby final Borg was playing poorly and Tanner his best but he still lost. |
