This is a thread to talk about tennis players' performances on
hard courts from the best to worst throughout history.
Give your opinions and avoid the ordinary! Make a statement!
Enjoy!

here is my entry for the greatest hard court players of all
time:
1. Federer
2. Sampras
3. Lendl
4. Nole
Federer has no less than 9 slams on the hard courts. that is
going to be pretty hard to beat.

Oh gosh, this is so tough. There have been so many excellent
players on hard courts over the years.
Certainly the players General Hercules has listed belong near
the top, especially in recent times.
But I would have to include Jimmy Connors, Rod Laver, Richard
"Pancho" Gonzales, John McEnroe, Andre Agassi, Stefan Edberg.
The two Andys, Roddick and Murray are not far from those, and
with Murray still active, he could still rise to that level.
Respectfully,
masterclass

absolutely no question about it general masterclass.
lendl made 8 straight finals at the u.s. open. he lost most of
them but still that is a lot of match wins on the hard courts on
the biggest stage.
johnny mac was a monster on the hard courts: both outdoor and
indoor.
Edberg was also as tough as they come on the hard courts.
I would have to agree: we have to list Connors, Agassi, laver,
and gonzalez too.
what about roy emerson?

I would like to mention Michael Chang as well. If I am not
mistaken he has won all Masters on American hardcourts
(IW/Miami/Cincy/Canada). Very underrated hardcourt player.

Roger has 52 hard court titles which has to be tops in the open
era.
