I've long been a proponent of not voting in a player if one match makes or breaks that player's candidacy. So, for example, someone like Andy Roddick has the resume to survive a hypothetical loss in the 2003 USO final -- YE #1, 32 titles, 5 Masters, 5 Major Finals -- that's a very solid record. he was one of the best players in the world for a number of years. He also was tantalizing close to a 2nd major.
On the other hand, a player like Petr Korda is defined by his AO win. If he hypothetically loses that match, his resume is very light -- never ranked YE top 6, only 10 titles, and only twice past the QF at majors.
So let me throw out a couple names that might be solid "last in" Hall of Famers:
Andy Roddick
Yevgeny Kafelnikov
Lleyton Hewitt (this makes for a smaller hall obviously)
Stan Wawrinka

I'm basically asking whom you think should be the last person in right now, open era, i.e., where is the line drawn.
The other way to do it (and perhaps it would be a good thread topic) is to have a scoring system where above a line you are in and below you are out, though that really hurts people who play against freakishly good GOAT candidates. |
