John McEnroe makes a much better announcer than player. I think one of the greatest tennis players of all time would be Bjorn Borg. The Williams sisters are an absolute success story borne of blood, sweat and tears. Hats off to them! I think Pete Sampras is the best tennis player pound for pound of all time....so far.

I don't think yahoo updates this page very often. You can't leave Federer off that poll.

What about Ivan Lendl? There are many great tennis players that unfortunately fade out of the limelight and should be remembered time to time, yahoo needs to do better job reporting.

What about Steffi Graf? The only player in history to win every slam at least 4 times.
