Apparently Agassi really lost it when he was with Brooke Shields, shortly after he dumped her he was back on top...I would put Agassi in the top 8, and only becuase he was somewhat inconsistent do i have him ranked that low.
Of course there are the old players that are hard to compare to today's players....You have to figure Borg, Samprass were definitely ranked higher and Mac and Connors would be right there in the same area as Agassi, Connors probably ranked higher than McEnroe who also quit early and never regained the past level.
Wen you think about it though, a great tennis player is just one guy, not like a great team, or a great baseball player on a great team, when a tennis great drops 10% off his game he falls from the top two , three players to the top 100 and appears to have lost it....If a great baseball player has a couple years where he is a little less than he was he is still a great player....it's all relative to the sport, individual sports are looked upon differently...
Phil Mickelson is a great example, the guy was #2 -#3 in the world for so long and looked at as somewhat of a failure, because he couod not win a major.

interesting...I heard it was the other way around. Not that it matters but divorcing Brooke allowed Andre to marry Stephie and that has made him the tremendously symphathetic figure that he is today.

Don't underestimate a guy who could win at such different ages and on all surfaces. Most guys have been dominant for spurts and racked up lots of wins on particular surfaces. Until Federer can prove he can win the French he will have a big hole in his resume. He clearly has no equal on grass, but so few tourneys are played on grass so hard to say how much you should credit his almost unbeatable game at Wimbledon.
