    Wimbledon: 5 greatest players of all time
  • No other tennis tournament captures the imagination of the world like Wimbledon.

    Started way back in 1877, Wimbledon is the oldest Grand Slam in the world.

    Dressed in all-white, the men's and women's singles are played by some of the world's best.

    As we approach the tail-end of the 2018 edition, let us take a look at the greatest male tennis icons.

  • Rafael Nadal is an icon of the sport and his exploits at the Wimbledon Center Court are stories worth telling our kids.

    The 'King of Clay Court' clinched his first Wimbledon title, in 2008, as he defeated Federer, in the greatest grass-court match.

    He repeated the feat in 2010 when he overcame Berdych in straight sets.

    Is the third title on the cards?

  • Rod Laver

    His unbelievable haul of 200 singles trophies is the best ever in the sport.

    He won the Wimbledon title four times. Further, Laver is the only player to achieve the calendar-year Grand Slam twice.

    Considered one of the greatest ever, he has a tennis arena named after him in Melbourne.

    For someone who retired at the age of 26, he has won an astounding number of trophies.

    The biggest achievement of his career is winning five consecutive Wimbledon honor as well as six French Opens.

    Before the Nadal-Federer era, his rivalry with John McEnroe was widely considered as the greatest.
