That covers 98% of current tournaments. Anything with guys like Blake,
Berdych & Ljubo types in top 10 is automatic joke event.

That is because in the 1990s there was a huge disconnect between the
majority of players and their abilities on grass (and why in earlier
years there was a specific Wimbledon seeding, abandoned after pressure
from the ATP).
Not Sampras' fault, and of course the fact that players were low
ranked just means they had games that were relatively better on grass
than on other surfaces (mainly HC). So they were tougher opponents at
Wimbledon than their rankings might indicate.
The numbers reflect my own belief that in the 1990s Wimbledon was
relatively competitively weak (many top players just didn't think they
had a chance and went through their obligations to attend), but the
new truer, higher bouncing surface has meant it is more competitive
now. As an example
In the period 1997-2000 the champion met 2 top 10 players, and 9 seeds
in total. An average of 2 seeds per championship
In the last four years (Nadal/Federer/Federer/Federer) the champion
has met these rankings:
2008 Q/-/-/27/17/12/-/1 (Q=3D qualifier; - unseeded)
2007 -/-/26/13/20/12/2
2006 -/-/-/13/7/-/2
2005 -/-/25/23/21/3/2
6 top 10 players, 17 seeds.

Which is why clown era stuff is ridiculous from all sides. You play who
you play whether it was 1950, 1975 or 2000 and that's all you can do.
This clown crap or Whispers clown crap just shows tennis history
ignorance. As does points for slams and counting only slams in all eras.
Base things on wins in the biggest events of their day against peers and
have done with it.
