Except against Nadal in France. Which is, I think, Strange Famous' point. I don't know if he needs to do it to be the best ever, put any other 'best ever' contender against Nadal at RG and ask if they could do it? I have no idea.
It would seem that the question is: "Do you have to be the best ever on every surface, to be the best ever?" In a technical sense, I suppose no. But to achieve truly legendary status, not just amongst tennis fans but to the world as a whole, I think he does. And the way things are now, I think he'll have to do it more than once to really get beyond 'fluke' status.
