Since the beginning of his career in 1998 Roger has won a total of 39 tournament titles, 8 of which are Grand Slam victories. It is now interesting to take a closer look at these impressive statistics after Roger's 25th birthday and compare them with those of other tennis greats of the past at the same age:

1. Björn Borg : 59 titles (10 of which Grand Slams)

2. Jimmy Connors : 57 titles (4 of which Grand Slams)

3. John McEnroe : 47 titles (5 of which Grand Slams)

4. Ivan Lendl : 42 titles (1 of which Grand Slam)

5. Pete Sampras : 40 titles (7 of which Grand Slams)

6. Roger : 39 titles (8 of which Grand Slams)

7. Boris Becker : 36 titles (5 of which Grand Slams)

just wondering...how come are the grand slams the most important ones? is it because the money is the biggest?

Interesting stats but that is not what watching you is all about. You are truly a supreme artist who gives such great delight to the true afficionado. Good luck at the US Open - when it finally stops raining - not only Wimbledon suffers.

Is the stats on Pete Sampras correct? I thought he had "14" Grand Slams????

Besides his great "on court" accomplishments, I believe Rogers is TOPS thanks to the way he presents himself in interviews, conducts himself off campus, involves himself with UNICEF, his foundation in South Africa, and so much more. Roger is the best..
