Sampras !
Pistol Pete was dominant with his huge serves
I always enjoyed watching him play.
I also liked Goran Ivanisevic. Wasn't he the first ever Wildcard to win Wimbledon?
That was a great accomplishment.

I never liked Andre Agassi. I dunno why
And I don't like Roddick.......leave Rod out and he's a dick

Has to be Borg, i think he won about 11 grand slams at retired at the grand old age of 24.

How can anyone not enjoy his crazy antics, I'm also fond of Henman, but he's not gonna win the Brit Open in my lifetime so thats kinda sad.

I'd say Bjorg was the greatest.

McEnroe was my favorite though. I loved the way he would argue with the Judge. Hilarious. So New York. "COME ON. YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME. ARE YOU BLIND?" "THAT WAS THE WORST CALL I'VE EVER SEEN!!" And so on....Hilarious.

Jimmy Connors' hair was too gay.

That's us Brits for you we just don't win, Henman will never win Wimbledon, Although i feel that he could win the US Open. Anyway it's got to be JOHN McEnroe, he was the most entertaining player ever. The game is missing a character like him after the last real character Ivanisevic retired.

Actually, there's a lot of doubt. I'm not saying that Sampras wasn't a great tennis player but 7 titles were on a surface where hardly is being played on. Grass is for pure specialists, although this has changed a little bit over the past few years.
chaognosis
1. Pancho Gonzalez
2. Rod Laver
3. Bjorn Borg
4. Pete Sampras
5. John McEnroe
6. Jimmy Connors
7. Bill Tilden
8. Don Budge
9. Lew Hoad
10. Ken Rosewall

Gonzalez's name is frequently (and criminally) absent from these lists. We seem to have forgotten that he played shortly before the Open Era began and turned pro at a very young age, which prevented him from playing any Slams throughout his peak years; the same thing happened to Laver during the mid-Sixties, but to a lesser degree. Gonzalez was BY FAR the dominant tennis player of the 50's, and suffice to say he could play circles around Laver in '62 (the year of Rod's first, much heralded calendar-year Grand Slam).

Given Gonzalez's dominance over his competition--and his competition was fierce, ranging from Jack Kramer to Lew Hoad--it's been estimated he would have won 20 or more Slams had he played during the Open Era.

I think the rest of my choices speak for themselves.

Borg wasn't the greatest, have you ever watched him play? The only thing he did was standing at the baseline and hitting balls back without risk. The man couldn't even hit a decent volley!

John Macorne.... blink.gif laugh.gif

Federer definitely has the best technique ever, and if injuries keep out he will also turn out to be the best ever as for results.
