       lets at least get the ball rolling anyway. his 11 slams came
       against these great players:
       [i]VILAS  (Twice)
       CONNORS (Twice)
       MCENROE
       LENDL
       ORANTES
       GERULAITUS
       NASTASE
       TANNER
       PECCI[/I]
       this is quite huge. every one of them is a slam winner except
       for Gerulaitus and Pecci.
       Johnny Mac was a multi slam winner. Connors was a multi slam
       winner.
       Lendl and Vilas were also multi slam winners.
       so this was no easy competition. We all know how tough Nastase
       was in his day. he was a world #1 also. and he too was a multi
       slam winner. he won the French open and the u.s. open. he lost a
       heartbreaker to stan smith at Wimbledon in 1972. that match went
       the full distance.
       of course he would lose to Borg at Wimbledon in 1976 in straight
       sets. the third set was a bit close.
       at any rate we will talk more about these victories and exactly
       where and how they happened.
       **he made a total of 16 appearances in slam finals and he took
       home 11 titles. and he did it against the toughest competition
       possible at the time.
