Tennis fans have slammed Tennis Abstract for their list of 128 greatest players of all time as the likes of Sampras, Borg, Henin are not included in the top 10.

Any kind of list usually will have people disagreeing with it as rankings are generally quite subjective. Things like sports make it somewhat easier especially sports like tennis who have a very structured honours system. We know which events are the most prestigious ones so it's a bit easier to rank things.

Tennis Abstract came out with their list of the top 128 players of all time and it got slammed on Twitter by furious tennis fans. We bring you some reactions:

"No logic in this list. The man with the most Grand Slam titles in the history of the sport comes in 8th place? While playing (his whole career) against peak number 4 and 5 on the list?"

"Laver as the GOAT seems fair since he completed the calendar slam twice as an amateur and pro. I think Graf benefited from Seles' unfortunate assault. Seles should've been to Graf what Nadal is to Federer"

"This list doesn't even have Borg in it. I also feel like some people underestimate impact the Big 3 have made to sports in general. They are all on 1st 3 places, no matter the order"

Check out the top 10 below.
