ROGER FEDERER'S Wimbledon joy is surely confirming the Swiss ace as an all-time great - aged just 23.

But does he belong yet in our list of legends? And how do modern stars like Pete Sampras and John McEnroe compare to heroes of the past like Rod Laver and Bill Tilden?

Take a look at the rankings made by The Sun

1 PETE SAMPRAS

THE serve-and-volley genius holds two astounding records - winning Wimbledon seven times and finishing as World No1 six years in a row.

MODERN LEGEND ... American ace
Pete Sampras tops our all-time list

Sampras' methodical mastery stemmed from his blend of touch and power, artistry and athleticism.

And on the fast grass of SW19 the big-serving American even achieved that true accolade of greatness - making his sport seem boring, such was his efficiency.

Sampras spent more weeks at No1 (286) and won more Grand Slam titles (14) than anyone else claiming at least one Slam every year from 1993 to 2000.
