Nadal is nowhere close to being one of the greatest ever. He is the best clay player of all time though, of that there is no doubt. Andre Agassi, John McEnroe, Björn Borg are all players that I would rank higher than Nadal or Djokovic and I wouldn't say Djokovic is even in the top ten of all time. Federer though, he is in another league all together :).

I have to disagree there. Djokovic, in 2013 I believe, broke records for breakfast. He's still young and has won so many times in so many tournaments, he has a great future ahead of himself. Although, he might have wasted the opportunity to get Roland Garros this year, with Nadal going bad and down so far, he only needs RG to be in the Top 5 of history IMO. 

OT: Of course, Federer. No question. But I'm more interested in what comes from the new players. Nishikori may put the Asian players on the radar, Raonic is my new favorite too. I also wonder if another American will reign again, and whatever happened to the face of South America Del Potro

Oh, I also wanna say that Wawrinka is the best not #1. I think he's a bigger inspiration than Federer... Always in his shadow, but still trying and succeeding!

(As you can see, I only know about modern-era of tennis )

Djokovic is one of my absolute favorites, but I need to be realistic and see that he is great, just mot amazing. To become amazing and a true legend, consistency and fantastic results at GS tournaments must go hand in hand. He has had much of that, just not at a level to become a legend. Yet :).
