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 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).

The best player - Federer

Well, I would probably go for Martina Hingis right now. Most female players either are very inconsistent or just dont make the best role-models.

None other than Mr. Switzerland Roger Federer... still owns her now, I believe

I have to agree with Ricky on this one. Maria Sharapova plays her game well, has an attitude, and has the potential to become a very good player as she gets older. Not to mention she is beautiful, but that is only a small part of why she is my favorite.

I think it is a tie between Federer and Agasi.

I am. He has a great game. Powerful groundstrokes, lightning footspeed. He's one of only a handful of guys to win two or more tournaments so far this year. \nWhen you consider the terrible year he had in 04 (father dying, neck injury, shingles, etc, it's remarkable what he's acheived since. Last July, he had all of 1 career ATP title to his name. In the past eight months, he's already added another 4 to that total. \nThen there was the showdown with Agassi at last year's US Open and his runner-up effort (losing to Federer) in Indian Wells. He even has a winning record against Nadal. Pretty impressive stuff. \nIt's hard not to like him.
