I have been saying that Shane is the best rotation player who has ever lived. With 5 U.S. Opens and even being able to win with this goofy break format, I have no doubt. Earl at his peak and Shane would have been a decent match, but in my opinion, Shane is the best ever.
Can't wait to see Shaw over the next few years.
One has to admit that Shane is the best rotation player in the world at this moment. Maybe the best ever actually.
It is a shame that Earl can't keep his head on straight for more than a few matches in a row because all of the talent is still there. He just melts down way too frequently. He is his own worst enemy. Hence, he will be stuck on 5 and Shane will eventually surpass him- wouldn't be surprised if he does it next year.
How cool would an Earl vs SVB final at 2017 Open be?!?!?!?!!!

I would put Wu and SVB at the top right now. Shane could end up being the best ever, but he's not there yet IMO.
Earl has no chance at his age to win another U.S Open or world title.
