The top 10 tennis players elected by The Sun
9 DON BUDGE IN 1938 the American became the only player to win all four Grand Slams in the same year - until Rod Laver. Budge had arguably the most stylish backhand in tennis history, as well as a blistering serve. His domination of the amateur game peaked when he won Wimbledon in 1938 without losing a set. And Budge was equally successful after turning professional the next year, regularly beating the two top pros - Ellsworth Vines and Fred Perry. 10 KEN ROSEWALL The Australian legend was the best player of the early 1960s - when Rod Laver was still an emerging talent and Pancho Gonzales was in semi-retirement. Rosewall had a backhand, notably a sliced shot, that was rated aside Don Budge's as the greatest of all time. He won six Grand Slams with his agility, stamina and lethal volleying. But his modest serve was one reason he never quite turned four appearances in a Wimbledon final into a victory.
