In the three shows, fans will learn much about both the competitor and the man that is Roger, widely considered to be one of the sport’s all-time greats with 12 Grand Slam championships and numerous other titles to his credit.  In addition to Roger, those interviewed include his mother, Lynette; tennis greats Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras, Andy Roddick, Rafael Nadal and Stefan Edberg; NIKE founder Phil Knight; golf superstar Tiger Woods and others.

I've just discovered this site and its size and the sheer numbers of fans is amazing. I've never looked at another fan site so don't know how it compares but surely this tops them all? I've looked at different parts, just loved all those photos in "Forum"

Roger may have lost the match but he is the real champion! He almost won 6 striaght which is unbelievable and Nadal got lucky with fading light this time! Roger will definately win wimbleton next year!
