I have modified this over the years but in my opinion this is my ranking of the Top 50 Male Tennis players post WWII. I realize that there are some great pre-WWII players - Tilden, Vines, Budge, Perry, Borotra, Cochet and Lacoste but I don't know enough personally to rank them.
My prediction for the future is that Djokovic will eventually surpass both Federer and Nadal to become the GOAT.
1. Roger Federer (Switzeland)
2. Rafael Nadal (Spain)
3. Novak Djokovic (Serbia)
4. Rod Laver (Australia)
