Who was the world's greatest tennis player?

Answer 1

For Males: What about the Rocket?? ... Rod Laver?? Even Federer regards him as "the greatest" of all.

Then there is Roger Federer himself - with the record number of total Grand Slam singles titles to his name already?? Of course, though, he is nowhere near being the calibre of doubles player that Laver was.

Another totally outstanding candidate is Pete Sampras.

The greatest female player is, unquestionably, Margaret Court, with 63 Grand Slam titles to her name - both singles and doubles.
