Can You Identify These Tennis Legends?

Agassi was one of the best ever to play the game but was also one of the game's true international superstars. As far as technical skills go, he was one of the best at returning any serve he saw, and as far as celebrity status goes, he's one of the world's most famous tennis players.

Billie Jean King was 29-years-old when she beat a 55-year-old Bobby Riggs in front of 90 million viewers. Riggs had crushed female superstar Margaret Court just months prior, so King's victory against Riggs was monumental.

No American man has more Grand Slam titles than the 14 titles Pete Sampras has. He was never able to win the French Open, and the closest he got was the semi-finals in 1996. His showdowns with Andre Agassi were appointment television in the 1990s.

Venus is one of the best women players the game of tennis has ever seen with seven Grand Slam titles, but she will never catch up to her younger sister, Serena, who has a whopping 23 titles and counting.

To say Rod Laver dominated the 1960s is an understatement. He won 11 Grand Slam titles during the decade, and he completed the single-season Grand Slam twice: once in 1962 and once in 1969. He is the only player, man or woman, to have accomplished the feat twice.

Steffi Graff is by far the most successful German tennis player, man or woman, and is one of the greatest across both sexes to ever play the game. There are only two players in the game's history to have won more Grand Slams than she.

Bjorn Borg never won the Australian or U.S. Open, but he won 11 Grand Slam titles: six French Open victories and five Wimbledon victories. He became the first male player of the modern era to win more than 10 Grand Slams.

American women have been much more successful than American men in the international tennis circuit, and Chris Evert is one of four American women to win 18 or more Grand Slams. She was ranked No.1 several years in a row in the late 1970s.

John McEnroe holds seven Grand Slam titles, but the native New Yorker is best remembered for his mid-match outbursts and attacks against the referees. He turned pro in 1978 and his best season was 1984 when he won two Grand Slams and appeared in the French Open finals.

Jimmy Connors faced off with John McEnroe 34 times over 14 years, and it can be said McEnroe emerged the victor. McEnroe won 20 times and Connors won 14 times. Connors won three Grand Slam titles against McEnroe. McEnroe won six Grand Slam titles against Connors.

Monica Seles is the youngest player ever to win the French Open when she won at 16 years old, and of her nine Grand Slam titles, she won eight of them before turning 20. She took two years off from tennis after the stabbing incident and was never the same when she returned.

From 1984 to 1990 Ivan Lendl won eight Grand Slam titles when Stefan Edberg and Boris Becker where at the top of their games. Lendl's dependence on his forehand with a lot of topspin led to the "Lendl style" of tennis that many modern players use.

Martina Navratilova has 18 Grand Slam titles and has the most Wimbledon titles with nine. She is one of only three players who have won the title for women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles at all four Grand Slam tournaments.

Bill Tilden played tennis way back in the 1920s, and in 1920 he became the first American to win the Wimbledon title. Before 1968 (the start of the Open Era) professionals couldn't play in the Grand Slams, so Tilden won Wimbledon as an amateur.

Becker burst onto the tennis scene and became the first unseeded player, the first German player and the youngest man to win the Wimbledon title in 1985 when he was just 17 years old. He went on to win five more Grand Slams and is Germany's best male player.

Justine Henin has seven Grand Slam titles in total, and she won the French Open four times, three of them being consecutive. She never won Wimbledon, but she helped put Belgium on the map in the tennis world.

The only other black man to win a Grand Slam is Frenchman Yannick Noah when he won the French Open in 1983. Ashe contracted HIV after heart surgery and was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1993. Center court at the U.S. Open is called Arthur Ashe Stadium, which is the world's largest tennis stadium.

Martina Hingis was less than two weeks younger than Monica Seles when she won her first Grand Slam, making her the youngest player, male or female, to ever do it. She went on to win five Grand Slams in all but never won the French Open.

Today's "Big Three" tennis stars are Federer, Nadal and Djokovic. Federer has 20 Slams, Nadal has 18 and Djokovic has 15, but he's also the youngest of the three and on pace to win more than them all. He is also the first and only man to win all the Masters 1000 tournaments, which weren't created until 1990. Nadal has the most Masters 1000 victories with 34.

Rafael Nadal is almost impossible to beat on clay, and he has owned Roland Garros ever since he turned pro. Of his 18 Grand Slam titles, 12 have come at the French Open, which is double the number of wins Boris Becker has at Roland Garros, and he has the second-most wins there overall.

Davenport held the No. 1 ranking in the world multiple times in both women's singles and doubles. Her best stretch of tennis came from 1998 to 2000 when she won all her Grand Slam titles, but she was never able to get over the hump at Roland Garros.

The men's game hasn't had a great American player since the '90s, but Roddick came close. He made it to the Wimbledon finals four times but never won, and his only Grand Slam title came at the U.S. Open. He was most known for his rocket serves topping 140 mph.

Kim Clijsters retired in 2012, and she was the second-best tennis player to come out of Belgium behind Justine Henin. Clijsters won three U.S. Open titles and an Australian Open title, and she won the Wimbledon and French Open women's doubles titles.

Only two men have completed the single-season Grand Slam, and Don Budge was the first player, male or female, to do it way back in 1938. He's also the only American man to complete the feat, and he went on to win six consecutive Grand Slam titles during the streak.

Maria Sharapova is by far Russia's greatest tennis player. The only current female players with more Grand Slam titles than her are the Williams sisters. Her career suffered from injury, but she is still actively playing and is considered one of the game's best ever.

Don Budge was said to have the best backhand shot in the game until Ken Rosewall joined the circuit. Rosewall won eight Grand Slam titles, but he never won at Wimbledon despite making the finals four times.

Helen Wills is considered by many to be the greatest female tennis player ever. She won 31 Grand Slam titles. She was one of the first female athletes to become a worldwide celebrity, and she beat a top 10 male player in his prime in an exhibition match.

Bobby Riggs is most known for being a tennis hustler after he retired and planning events like the "Battle of Sexes" against Billie Jean King in which he lost. When he was in his prime, he won three Grand Slam titles and held the No. 1 ranking for three years.

We don't know how good Maureen Connolly could have been. She turned pro in 1951, and by 1954 she became the first woman to complete the single-season Grand Slam and had won nine Grand Slam titles. But in 1954, a horseback riding accident ended her professional career.

Pancho Gonzalez (aka Richard Gonzalez) is one of America's best male players, and he holds the record for most years ranked No. 1 with eight years. He won back-to-back U.S. Open titles in 1948 and '49 and won 12 Pro Slam titles.

It's hard to dispute Lenglen's crown as the greatest female player in history. She was the first worldwide female tennis star. She once won 181 matches in a row, and her overall record was 341-7, which is a 98% win rate.

Althea Gibson was the first black tennis player, and she won the 1956 French Open and the 1957 Wimbledon title. She won five Grand Slam singles titles and another six in women's and mixed doubles events. She later became the first black person to play on the women's pro golf tour.

Andy Murray was born in Glasgow and is Britain's best tennis player in at least half a century. He won three Grand Slam titles, and he almost became the fourth member of the "Big Three." He beat Djokovic to win two of his titles but has had little success against Federer or Nadal.

Jennifer Capriati began her pro career at a very young age, and it may have taken a toll on her. By 17 she took a break from pro tennis and was arrested for shoplifting. She eventually came back and won three Grand Slam titles, including back-to-back Australian Open titles in 2001 and 2002.

Stefan Edberg is the only tennis player to complete the single-season Grand Slam as a junior player, and he went on to win six Grand Slam titles as a professional. The French Open was the only Slam he couldn't win, but he made it to the finals in 1989.

Margaret Court won 24 Grand Slam titles, and nobody, male or female, has tied or topped that. Until Rafa Nadal won his 12th French Open in 2019, Court had the record for most wins at a single Grand Slam event with 11 Australian Open wins. She's the only woman to win the single-season Grand Slam in mixed doubles, which she did twice, and she also completed the women's singles Grand Slam and women's doubles Grand Slam.

At just 5'9'', Michael Chang was one of the shorter players on the circuit, which led to his gritty defensive playing style. In 1989 his name was etched into the history books when became the youngest male ever to win a Grand Slam title.

Maria Bueno won seven Grand Slam singles titles and 12 doubles titles and is South America's best female player by far. She completed the calendar-year Grand Slam in women's doubles in 1960 and was the first woman ever to do so.

It's very difficult to imagine Serena Williams going back in history and losing to any other female tennis player who has ever played. She has the second-most Grand Slam titles of all time, and she is still at the top of her game.
