You must be dense. Out of those 35 slams 33 are held by Federer,
Djokovic and Nadal. I am not suggesting that the top four today are
weak, only the players ranked 5-10.  Are you seriously trying to tell
me that players like Berdych, Tsonga, Ferrer and Monaco are stronger
players than the players I have listed in the past top tens above--
i.e. players like Lendl, Becker, Edberg, Wilander, Agassi, Muster,
McEnroe from May of 1989 for example?   Do you not see that the talent
was more spread out in those top ten lists I have posted?  Because if
you can't see the difference you need a lobotomy.
