Indeed there were and are, Andy. To name two, Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka both won three Grand Slams, beating members of the Big Three in some of those finals. How many would they have won in a different era? How would we talk about them now if they had? If they had won 7, say, well, so did John McEnroe; if they had won 8, so did Jimmy Connors and Andre Agassi. That's exactly the kind of thought that prompted this; it's been on my mind this spring as the accolades for the Big Three are rolling in, deservedly.

Thanks for reading and responding. I appreciate you.
