The only thing that sucks more is this article by ESPN. To have a list of 20 most dominate athletes in the past 20 years and to NOT include Nadal is laughable. I would say that Nadal at the French Open is the most dominate athletic performance of all time. The only other men that come close to being as dominate as Nadal at the French is Lance Armstrong at the Tour de France (Lance was caught doping to do what he did, while Nadal has been clean his entire career) and Phelps at the Olympics. To have a record of 79-2 and 10 titles (which if he just played in the French Open would put him 5th all-time for Grand Slams only behind Fed, Sampras, Djokovic and Bjorg). He has more French Open titles than Agassi, McEnroe, Connors and Lendly have total Grand Slams. And to not put him on the list.......come on man

(can you tell I'm itching for Nadal to come back and for Clay season to begin ha)
To be honest, I'm more shocked than Sidney Crosby didn't crack the top 20. However, then you realize it's ESPN and that they hate hockey and then it makes sense.
