Yes, decisions, decisions, but went for Marcos Baghdatis over Andre Agassi.

Ken Rosewall. Oh how I wanted him to win a slam.

Yannick Noah, French Open, 1983 - boy, that was one of the best slam experiences I recall! Entertainment!

Ken Rosewall won  the Australian, French and US Championships in the amateur era and also in  the Open era. He was also runner-up in 4 Wimbledons. I remember being told that her didn't win Wimbledon because his serve wasn't powerful enough. When he defeated Lew Hoad at the 1956 US Championships he prevented Hoad doing the Grand Slam.

Yes.  Maybe it was Wimbledon that I really wanted to win. I was rather young at that time and so forgot he won other slams.

Having not bothered to vote in group 8 as there was no-one I particularly liked or followed, I now find I want 3 votes in the group! In the end i went for the sentimental choice of Santana - another of my mother's favourite's who I remember watching as a child. I'm assuming Rosewall and Agassi will both be safe. Hope so.
