For me personally, Roger Federer, 20 Grand Slam titles. I watched it 15 years ago when I went to school. This is a legend not only in tennis, but also in sports in general.

There's so many to choose from but Wilt Chamberlain pops to mind immediately.

Magnus Carlsen, best chess player since when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
Fischer and Kasparov were both better but yeah Carlsen is great too.

The Serbian Novak, of course, holds all the tennis records, at least the most important, playing at the same time as Nadal and Federer. Their mentality is unwavering. Long live Serbia!

I have seen numerous incredible athletic feats in my 72 years, but I would have to say that Eric Heiden was the greatest athlete. In the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, he won all 5 distances, from the 500 meters sprint to the 10,000 meters…that would be the equivalent in Track and Field of winning in one competition, the 100 meters, 200 meters, 800 meters, the 5000 meters and the Marathon. Many athletes dominate one or two events which are fairly similar, or dominate one sport…nobody has dominated all disciplines at one Olympic Games the way Eric Heiden did.

Rugby is my favourite sport and I think Richie McCaw is the best player I ever saw playing that game. Great leader, tough and smart and just knew how to get the job done.

I am a fan of Emil Zatopek. It amazes me a person could win a 5000m, a 10,000m, and a marathon in 1 olympics.

Ali, due the brutality of the boxing game. The fact that he was so superior at his peak. To be that good and literally the fact that no opponent could lay a glove on him. Together with his aura and charisma, he transcended the sport.
