Guys,u r forgetting Steffi Graf.\n\nShe won 22 Grand Slam titles including seven singles titles at Wimbledon. In 1988 she completed a rare Grand Slam, winning the U.S., Australian and French Opens and Wimbledon in one year.

I'm a former tennis umpire, and I've had numerous one-on-one discussions with Arthur Ashe. Arthur was a wonderful and very intelligent man, which I can tell you from personal experience is a very rare thing to find in tennis players.\n\nArthur's greatest weapon, by far, was his talented serve. He had great variety, and could hit it flat or curve it ultra-wide off the court. In fact, opponents never knew exactly where to position themselves to return his serve.\n\nArthur's next best shots were his slice Forehand and slice Backhand. He most often sliced and sometimes hit flat, although he would hit with topspin from time to time.

Andre Agassi\n\nIn two decades of tennis, U.S. player Andre Agassi went from being the young rebel with glam-rock hair to the grand "old man" with a head as smooth as a clay court -- and one of the greatest players in the game's history. He began playing professionally in 1986, and by 1988 had won more than $2 million in prize money. Throughout the 1990s, men's tennis was dominated by the back-and-forth rivalry of Agassi and Pete Sampras. In his career Agassi has won more than 850 singles matches, including 60 titles, 8 Grand Slams and an Olympic Gold Medal (Atlanta, 1996). Even after 20 years of playing, Agassi ranks in the top ten in men's tennis, and in 2005 made it to the finals of the U.S. Open (he lost to Roger Federer). One of the top earners in tennis, Agassi's flair for style and celebrity has also earned him a spot as one of the top earners in endorsements.\n\nAgassi was married to actress Brooke Shields from 1997-99... He married tennis great Steffi Graf in 2001, and they have two children... Agassi's sister was married to tennis pro Pancho Gonzales... Agassi's father, Emmanuel "Mike" Agassi, was an Olympic boxer for Iran in 1948 and 1952 before emigrating to Chicago.

Pele` without a doubt was THE BEST. Following hin very, very far one from Eusebio - George Best - Sivori: it only depends from personal opinion.

I think it is a tie between Federer and Agasi.

I'd like to hate Lleyton Hewitt because of what he did to James Blake and one umpire (who happened to be 'black') a few years ago. But I have seen him improve his on-court behavior so I try to forget what he did during his younger years.\n\nRafael Nadal is also a very intense player, to a point that he sometimes cheers for his opponents' errors, an act which does not comprise a perfect gentleman of the game.\n\nI assume many would say Nicolar Kiefer because of his bad antics during his battle with Sebastian Grosjean some couple of months ago. However, I find him forgiveable because he is one guy who would always try his best to win a game. \n\nIt would be much easier to answer who are my favorites. Simple. Federer and Blake. Nice role-models for tennis afficionados. Mild-mannered, gentleman and good ambassadors of the game.

For World Cup, I think Argentina although Brazil is traditonally strong.\n\nFor Male Wimbledon, Roger Federer is 85% for championship. 10% for Nabandion and 5% for Nadal.\n\nFor Woman, Henin is 99% for championship, I don't see any player which can beat her recently.

Roger Federer is getting there boys.  He might do it.  Just keep watching, he might be the best in the world in the history of tennis in a couple of years.

By far, I think Ronaldinho from Brazil is the best player in the world. Not just because he is productive, but also he elevates soccer to a new level.

I agree that he has a great forehand and a good serve, although his certainly is not the best serve around. What makes him so good is that he has the whole package--something that no other pro in recent memory can claim. \nIn addition to his forehand and serve, his backhand is exceptional, his volleys are as good as anyone's, and his strategic sense is among the best.\nFinally, he is one of the best players I have ever seen at reading the opponent's shots and getting to them with speed and balance. I don't know if he is the fastest pro when it comes to sheer footspeed, but no one moves as fluidly and quickly to the ball.\nHe's not quite invincible, but he is clearly the best player the world has ever seen.

Officially is Ronaldinho but for me the best player in the whole world is RONALDO.

Nadel holds a 59 match winning streak on clay courts coming into the final.\nNadal holds a 5-1 head to head record against federer with the last two meetings being on clay in Rome and Monaco.\nFederer is World no.1 while Nadal is world no.2.\nFederer can become the third man to win four consecutive grand slams.\n\n              World No. 1 and top seed Roger Federer against World No. 2 and second seed Rafael Nadal in the final of Roland Garros. It couldn’t have been scripted any better. Sunday’s match between the two evokes memories of past Grand Slam finals between the top two players in the world – Sampras vs. Agassi, McEnroe vs. Borg for example.\n                  Federer, of course, is trying to become the first player since Rod Laver in 1969 to win four straight Grand Slam events, a streak that began at Wimbledon last year. Meanwhile, Nadal is seeking to extend his Open Era record of 59 straight matches won on clay and defend his crown in Paris (d. Puerta in 2005).\n              Federer, 24, hails from Switzerland, while Nadal who turned 20 last Saturday, comes from Spain. The two have met six times during their ATP careers, with Nadal coming out on top in five of those encounters, including all three times on clay. Last year at Roland Garros, the Spanish sensation took out Federer in the semifinals.\n\nWith these stats, I beleive that Nadal will win the French Open for a second consecutive time

He is a great player, very handsome, but unfortunately, he lost the game against Nadal because he was injured.\n\nAnd by the way, his last name is Djokovic.\nI adore him!!!
