Over the years, we have seen many great champions in Tennis. These champions entertain there loyal fans attheir peak, and are later replaced by newer, younger champions. We all remember how Pete Sampras lost in Wimbledon against unknown rookie Roger Federer; only it was passing over the crown from one champion to the other.
Fans have debated for decades as to who is the greatest tennis player of all time. We have names of some of the greatest tennis players of all time like Federer, Nadal, Aggasi, Sampras, Borg, Lendl, Connors, McEnroe, Rosewall, Laver and so many more. But the question remains: who is the greatest tennis player of all time?
Well obviously it is extremely difficult to name one tennis player who was the greatest of all time. The reason being that over the years, tennis has evolved, technology has been introduced, rackets have improved, courts are better. Therefore it is not possible to compare players of this era to previous eras. For this reason, I have decided to make the list of the top 10 greatest tennis players of all time. This list will include the greatest players to have graced the tennis courts by their spellbinding tennis play. As this is just a top 10 list, some names of the greatest tennis players will be left but rest assured, the top 10 players in this list are the top 10 greatest tennis players of all time.
