  - What -was- the point of your post? -- nm - David Jun 7, 16:52 1
    - Seemed to fit in with the overall theme of other replies? -- nm - Strongbad Jun 7, 16:56
Trick question. The answer is one. -- nm - Roger More Jun 7, 15:20
To be great you need to be at the top for at-least 5 years, so probably about 10. A grand slam might lower that to 8 -- nm - Karl_S Jun 7, 15:12

- Doesn't it depend on who else there is too? Novak Djokovich has 12 grand slams, but you'd still consider him a relatively distant 3rd behind Federer - pmb Jun 7, 15:38
- Is 4 enough if it's a career Grand Slam? -- nm - David Jun 7, 15:10 1
  - Yeah - but anyone with a Slam usually runs very heavy - Will Hunting, Emperor of Blood Feud Jun 7, 15:31
IMO 6 or so. Thats.a good question -- nm - prayformojo Jun 7, 15:04
I'd say 5 is borderline. 7 or more is a lock. -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Jun 7, 14:59
