it has got to be pistol pete and navaratilova, not because they won so many big tournaments but the style of play their conduct on and off court, their conduct after retirement, they sure are the best of that era

its unfair to compare two players for different eras, pee was good in his own way, so is federer.

While both were very good world class players knightrider I think there are a few other names who could be picked as the best of the 20th century. On the mens circuit just going through tennis since I started watching Boris Becker for his energy and pure excitement who is now a pundit on bbc and Andre Agassi who was the most recent man to complete the grand slam, which is something that was never achieved by pistol pete would be two of his competitors. On the womens circuit a few names such as Steffi Graf, Monica Seles come to mind, as I say ive only gone back to the start of the 90s im sure a few people can think of a few names before this date.

I think it must be Sangpulasi.He played so well that nearly no one can beat him.But I must refer to Federer,althrough he became successful in Wimbeldon in 2003.
