Fight for Glory at Wimbledon

Who is tennis player of the centruy? Current generation of tennis viewers have only one name in every corner of their mind and it is none other than unassailable Roger. Yesteday, I came across a statastics, which many of us may not know. Bjron Brog won almost 90% of his matches in Grandslam tournment. The feat is unmatched by any other player in the history of the game. He won all of his 11 grandslams before retiring at the age of 26yrs.

Now, question for the pundits is who is greatest between them????

typical answer - I"t depends". We cannot forget the likes of Pete Samprass who holds the record for maximum grand slam, and the coveted Wimbeldon his favourite, though he never managed to conquer the other side of the English Channel.

Also, the quality of opposition must be considered. Samprass played at the time when we had likes of andre Agassi and Boris Becker among some others. The only one who usually comes close to challenging Fedex is Nadal ... (or maybe that Federer is too good, and others do not look as good in comparision!)
