And I guess Borg had 5 FO-Wimbledon doubles consecutively....
Never said anything about the 8 RGs. Rafa is very obviously the greatest clay court player of all times. It's also not about Fed v/s Nadal. I am not interested in these petty player battles that fans keep fighting. I only responded from a factual viewpoint...Nadal bagging the Wimbledon record or Borg's consecutive RG-Wimb doubles looks unlikely, hence to say he will get ALL records is exaggeration. That is all. And I presume there is nothing offending about that? because Sampras didn't have all records and neither does Federer. No one player does.
And as for Borg, no, he won RG in 74, 75 and 81 but not Wimb and no RG in 76 and 77 but Wimb. So there were 'only' three years that he won both RG and Wimb. Since then, only Rafa has done it...in 2008 and 2010.
