then goes and votes for Yannick Noah :ph34r:

Anyway, Kramer takes his first set 4-2.
Hey Noah was a champ player in 1980s and early 90s.Was a No. 1 too for a while, won the Davis cup for country. Not to forget I Grew up watching him.

Eight hours up, so another tie breaker needed...and Kramer takes my vote by a tad more dominance, but it's a gnat's whisker in it. Wins 4-2 3-2.

Kuerten and Riggs.

Korda was on drugs when he won his Slam so shouldnt be in this anyway.

By my count duffer's vote secured it 4-0, 4-0 for Kuerten & Ed's 4-0, 4-0 for Riggs.

Would've voted the same way as everyone else tho.
