Those who follow tennis more than I do probably feel the same. Wonder if he'd kick Bjorn, Jimmy and Jim's asses in their primes.

1. Roger Federer
2. Pete Sampras
3. Bjorn Borg
4. Rafael Nadal
5. John McEnroe, I liked him better than Jimmy Connors. I know I am probably leaving out someone from the 50's or 60's that was ridiculously great but Tennis is one-on-one and players from the 80's and on were just better IMO. Faster serves, stronger, better athletes.
-Connors won 8 Majors, McEnroe 7 but head to head McEnroe is 20-14 vs Connors so he gets my nod for #5.
