Speaking of players being compared across eras…I just heard Mats Wilander say that Novak Djokovic is the best returner of all time. He said that he is better than Andre Agassi and Jimmy Connors.
I have no problem with the Agassi comparison as Agassi played with a racquet that was 108 square inches big. This is a little known fact about Agassi…that he played with such a huge racquet.
But the Connors comparison I have some really serious problems with. Connors played virtually his entire career with a Wilson T2000 which is only a bucket of bolts compared to the fastidious racquets that the modern player uses. Hands down to Connors. You cannot even imagine Djokovic with a T2000.
