The Top Ten Male Tennis Players Of The 1970's

A video abou the ten best male tennis players from the 1970's

I calculated the list by viewing the results of every grand slam from 1970-1979, and I gave a certian amount of points for each winner, runner-up, semi-finalist and quarter-finalist. The results are in the video.

Shouldn't this vid be titled "Top Ten Tennis Players of the 1970's", without "Men" in the title, seeing as how men are superior?

@s37d Haha, got a point there, the only reason i didn't do that is because i have a separate video with the female list. So it's more to help differentiate the two.

Great list. Agree completely. So many incredible players with a broad diversity of styles. Thanks for the reminder! And I get your calculations. On that basis, where would the great Adriano Panatta rank?

[Bonkatsu12]

Thanks I appreciate that.

Panatta? Um, he came about 13th

[WeAllGonnaDieAlive]

wtf? björn borg was number 2 ?? so lol

[Bonkatsu12]

Read my discription of how I worked out the results,

Borg may have won two more grand slams than connors in the 70's, but Connors made 6 finals and 3 semis, while Borg only made 2 finals and 1 semi

[RetroTennis]

borg should be number 1

[ramito8]

Mal la lista, Borg fue mucho mas tenista que Connors, y claramente debio estar primero y no segundo...

[bjornsiborgsi]

borg should be no.1. Why? 'cause he's borg!!!

[777ferrero]

80年まで含めるとボルグが1位になるはず。

80s music by a woman for the best male players from the 70s? Way to think things through.

@thedeckfamily Connors would not have won the french on that slow clay, especially when Borg owned the french. And the list above was for the seventies, not career.

[edenstore]

@Bonkatsu12 "While Borg only made two finals and one semi." You need to recalculate, dude. Borg made 4 wimbledon finals and at least 5 french finals. That's 9 finals--and Borg won all nine of them. I believe Borg had a better head to head record against Connors, too.

If you look at 1970 and -71 results you will be surprised to find out who was Nr.1! I would say that a small artist growing up at White City was the best ! Which could mean that this man was the Nr.1. player from lets say 59-65 and from 1970 -72! Laver wasnt the King before -65 according to my sources.

10 years! Interesting! Who has ever achieved that before or after? The name? The "little Master" himself Ken Rosewall !

[borg3964]

non sono daccordo il primo è Bjorn Borg, e basta.

[MrJeepsters]

Je ne suis pas d'accord, Borg était le meilleur, il a révolutionné le jeu et, de plus, il manque panata

Roosewall est plutot un joueur des années 60

Great list. Connors boycotted the French during his prime which probably cost him a true Grand Slam (in 74 he was unbeatable in GS play). There will never be another Jimmy Connors. Everyone can string a few great years together but Connors did it for almost 20 years. In the open era only Agassi comes close to this mark. Connors is definitely in the top 5 of all time.
