Roger Federer. Maybe the best player of all time.

Honestly speaking, THE ANSWER IS YES.\n\nI have a great feeling that Rafael Nadal's rampage on clay will be put to halt on 2007. Others may form speculations that Nadal is already on his way down, but that would not be entirely true. Nadal will still win numerous matches on clay --- but it won't be the same as his performance this year. \n\nAnd of course, Roger Federer will be there to exploit Nadal's weakness. He will just play superb tennis; and he will punctuate answers to every Nadal shots that he was not able to solve in 2006. The confidence of winning over Nadal back-to-back-to-back (Wimby/Shanghai/Seoul, though on different surfaces) will give Roger enough confidence. I think nobody would argue that had Federer been more confident during his previous battle with Nadal on clay, the result would have been different.\n\nNadal will still win a number of clay tournaments this year; unfortunately for him, the French Open will slip from his hands. Roland Garros trophy this year will not just be a trophy --- it will serve as an EXCLAMATION POINT proclaiming who is the Greatest Tennis Player of All Time...

Sania Mirza, of late has been paying lot more attention to her looks than her playing standard. At this rate, she might turn out to be the 'Indian Anna Kournikova' !\n\nConsidering all the factors (like commitment, attitude, court presence, results achieved, etc.), I feel Leander Paes is the most attractive tennis player India has produced so far. Mahesh Bhupati is very close to Paes.\n\nVijay Amritraj was really charming and had lots of talent but he could not produce results in proportion to his potential.

Federer over Roddick, Henin-H over Mauresmo. May be wrong, but sounds like a good bet.

For men, you'd have to say Pete Sampras.  He won Wimbledon 7 times, against relatively tough competition.  For clay, I'd probably pick Borg who won the French Open six times.  Although I'd believe a modern player like Nadal would beat Borg, that has as much to do with modern equipment as anything.  For hard courts, I'll pick Ivan Lendl.  Lendl had perhaps the worst win record of anyone of his talent, but he reached the U.S. Open final from 1982-1989, which is 8 consecutive years in a row, and he won it 3 years in a row.  Had Lendl been just a little tougher mentally, he would be considered the best player ever.\n\nFor doubles, hmm, I'll go with the classic of John McEnroe and Peter Fleming, although there were many very talented doubles teams.  Its popularity has fallen due to a lack of a top singles player.\n\nFor women on grass, I'll pick Martina Navratilova. I know. She won Wimbledon 9 times, and she was a finalist 3 more times.  That's a lot of times to reach the finals.  Steffi Graf won 7 times as a baseliner, but I prefer to see a serve and volleyer on grass, especially considering how few women play this style of tennis anymore.  On clay, Chris Evert was the queen of clay, winning the French Open 7 times and reaching the finals twice more.  Women's hard courts is a close call.  Martina won the US Open on hard court 4 times, but was finalist 4 more times.  Steffi Graf won it 5 times, and was finalist 3 more times.  I'll give the edge to Graf. \n\nFor women's doubles, I'd pick Martina Navratilova and Pam Shriver.  They're the only doubles player to win the Grand Slam.  They won 109 matches in a row, a record.\n\nIf you had to pick mixed doubles, you'd have to pick Margaret Court who won a mixed Grand Slam in 1963 with Ken Fletcher, then again in 1965, with three different partners (John Newcombe, Ken Fletcher, Fred Stolle).
