CAMELOT FANTASIES

absolutely brilliant idea. truly a thread for the ages.

we will enjoy it for many years.




I will start out with the best ever on grass in no particular order at this point:


***johnny mac
***roger Federer
***pistol pete
***laver
***borg

I should have added him to the list.

he was tough as nails on grass.


 

Good call on Edberg. Stefan won a couple of Australian Opens on grass too, so has four grass court majors - more than Mac and Boris.

Sampras won 7 Wimbledon out of 8 - from 1993 to 2000. Federer also won 7 but from 2003 to 2012.

Here's a look at their grass achievements:

Roger Federer’s opponents in the Wimbledon finals:
 
Mark Philippoussis (2003) – 1 Time Wimbledon finalist
Andy Roddick (2004, 2005 and 2009) – 3 time Wimbledon Finalist
Nadal (2006 & 2007) – 2 time Wimbledon Champion
Murray (2012) – 1 Time Wimbledon Champion
 
Pete Sampras’ opponents:
 
Jim Courier (1993) – 1 Time Wimbledon finalist
Goran Ivanisevic (1994 & 1998) - 1 time Wimbledon Champion and 1 time finalist
Boris Becker (1995) – 3 time Wimbledon Champion
Cedric Pioline (1997) –  1 time Wimbledon Finalist(Sampras was coming off beating Becker and Pioline was coming off beating Michael Stich)
Andre Agassi (1999) – 1 Time Wimbledon Champion
Patrick Rafter (2000) – 2 time Wimbledon finalist

In his prime, Sampras was almost unbeatable at Wimbledon winning 7 out of 8 in succession while staying at No. 1 from 1993 to 1998 but he also, beat different opponents and met with Goran only twice.
