Andy North in 1985 was 1 over when he won which was the last time someone finished over par. Hale Irwin was 7 over in 1974 US Open when he won. \n\nLleyton Hewitt wins the Queens tennis title, Aussies push Brazil all the way in the soccer world cup and Geoff Ogilvy wins the US Open golf major. What a day for the Aussies!

No, but he is among the greatest players of alltime. The fact of\nthe matter is, if he was able to win the US Open a few times,\nhe might not have left the game so early. He could have been\nthe greatest player ever, since the rate he was winning Slams during his peak years was even better than Sampras. His failure to win the US Open, despite four trips to the final, is what ultimately forced him to retire prematurely. If he had won even once in those four trips, I'm guessing he would have hung around the sport longer. Another factor is he didn't like to play so frequently, and the new rules that were coming into play would\nhave forced him to do that to retain his world ranking. Those two\nfactors probably had more to do with anything else for the reasons he didn't retire in his 30s, instead of his mid 20s, when\nmost players are about to hit their prime, or are in their prime.\n   No one has able to achieve the French Open-Wimbledon\ndouble in the same year since Borg did it (1976, 1978,1979,1980). Jim Courier (won 1993 French Open, lost in 1993 Wimbledon final), Rafael Nadal (won 2006 French Open and lost in 2006 Wimbledon final) and Roger Federer (lost 2006 French Open final, and won 2006 Wimbledon final) have come the closest in this regard. Ivan Lendl and Stefan Edberg also came close. Ivan Lendl won the 1987 French Open but lost in the 1987 Wimbledon final to Pat Cash. Stefan Edberg lost in the 1989 French Open final to Michael Chang and the 1989 Wimbledon final to Boris Becker. Bjorn Borg the French Open six times, but it wasn't in 6 consecutive years (1974, 1976, 1978-1981). Manuel Orantes won the French Open in 1975, while\nGuillermo Vilas won the 1977 French Open men's singles title.\nI think Borg didn't play the French Open in 1975 or 1977, but I'm\nnot sure. He did win Wimbledon five consecutive years (1976-1980), and made the final in 1981. Roger Federer has a chance\nto equal Borg's modern era record in 2007 and has to reach the final in 2008 to equal Borg's mark of 41 consecutive wins at \nWimbledon in the modern era. I forgot about how close John\nMcEnroe came in 1984 to winning the French Open against\nIvan Lendl. He went on to win Wimbledon and the US Open\nthat same season. I think his 1984 season is still one of the greatest seasons in tennis history for a male or female player.

Me too. Federer is unbeatable on grass & is the hot favorite for Wimbledon. Nadal will progress only upto 3rd rd or even before that like last yr. He has problems on all surfaces except clay. He is an incomplete player. Here he cant run down every ball of Roger unlike on clay where he has plenty of time to stay in the point. Nadal has the foll dismal record in other Grandslams:\nWimbledon 2005:R64 lost to G. Muller\nUS Open 2005:R32 lost to J. Blake

Davis Love III\n\nBecause he seems like he's got a stick up his a$$. He also has lots of raw talent, but is a big choker. Did anyone see his 3-chip at the Masters? He looked like ME out there, and I'm a total hack!\n\nDishonorable mention: Veejay Singh for griping about Anika Sorenstrom playing in a men's tournament. He also seems extremely cocky. In contrast, Tiger Woods is confident and competitive, but not cocky. \n\nBut Davis Love is the worst.

I don't think McEnroe or Borg would live with Federer or the other very top players - the game has changed.\nHowever you can only beat what you are up against on the day, so McEnroe, Connors, Borg, Laver, Rosewall etc were all great for their time as was Fred Perry - where's the next Great Brit coming from - Andy Murray?

By the name I would guess he is European or British so I would say the British Open  I do not recognize his name so I doubt he would have been good enough for the Ryder Cup - and certainly not the US Open or Masters which require great performance on the US PGA Tour.

Of the 2, it's still Sampras. Federer has done some amazing things.- 24 straight wins in finals, longest hard-court winning streak, 7 Slam titles so far. He's also possibly the most gifted player in history. He can routinely hit shots that noone else ever tries. He can play offense and defense equally well. \nEven so, if you look at what Pete acheived (14 Slams, #1 for six straight years, the competition he faced), it's hard to argue that Federer is better. In a few years he may well be, but he'll need to win a few more Majors first.

It's a crime and pity that a player of Henry's calibre has never won the European player or the Fifa world player of the year, I see a few of the players out there to have the award who deserved it less than Henry, it would be a total crime if he isnt named World Player of the year this time.

Well, Henman sucked for longer!  ;o)\n\nPoor guy - he was a very good player, just not one of the best.

I think Andy Roddick will win another major title. I realize there are alot of strong players in the game today and winning a major is extremely difficult. I think Andy will proabably reach three more grandslam finals during his prime years, and I think he will win two of them. Andy would probably already have three grandslam title to his credit, but he was born at the same time as Roger Federer and that guy is simply unbelievable. Roddick is a tremondous talent, and I enjoyed watching him perform well for the US in Davis Cup.
