Roger Federer
Roger Federer, perhaps the greatest tennis player in history, has accomplished everything. In a career that spanned forty years, the Swiss has spent a total of 310 weeks atop the world rankings and has the Open Era's greatest winning run, having dominated the ATP charts for a four-and-a-half year stretch (236 weeks) from 2004 to 2008. Between 2005 and 2010, his domination in the 2000s witnessed him reach 19 of 20 major finals. In 2004, 2006, and 2007, he won three of the four Grand Slam championships, finally concluding his Professional Golden Slam in 2009 with the French Open victory.
He has won an incredible 103 singles championships, second only to Jimmy Connors in the Open Era, including a remarkable 20 Grand Slam titles (with Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal and) and a remarkable six ATP World Finals wins.
In 2017, he won at least eight Wimbledon championships and is tied with Jimmy Connors and Pete Sampras for the most U.S. Open titles (5).
Federer is also a crowd favorite, winning the ATP Fan's Player of the Year title 18 consecutive years from 2003 to 2020, as well as the Laureus World Athlete of the Year award five times. Roger Federer unquestionably deserves his spot in history as being one of the best players of all time.
