Johansson and, in 1968, Australian ( Non) Open winner Bill Bowrey.This one, probably the most surprising champion of a major ever.

I would probably pick Gaudio considering the almost comical circumstances he beat Coria at the French final in 2004.

Korda gets my vote. Especially since he was caught doping up or something a while after the win.

Default Muster

Muster never got out of the first round @ Wimbledon and really did nothing notable on hard court.

I'd tend to agree with you but 3 Wimbledon finals would suggest otherwise.

Any of Gaudio, Johansson or Korda...but I'd lean in favor of Gaudio, Coria should have won that match for sure, at Johansson and Korda somewhat earned theirs, Gaudios was a huge amount of luck.

He will go out as an all time loser...like Fred Stolle, 3 times in a row beaten finalist at Wimbledon ( but he won 2 slams to Roddick´s single one...)

No. I don't see how anyone could think Gaudio or Johansson are better players than Roddick.

How is that being a loser? He won a slam, four runners up to a very tough matchup and has won a truckload of titles and has won DC. Strong showings across AO, W and US as well as ending in the top 10 for god knows how many years. With what? A huge serve and a huge forehand with not much else (although his forehand went when Gilbert did). Roddick in some ways did better than guys who had a lot more game. Definately not a loser, only a troll or an idiot would think like that.


How many ATP titles have you won by the way?

Seriously? A lot of current tour players would be beyond ecstatic if they could accomplish as much as Roddick has.

I know for a fact that Federer is the worst 16 slam winner in the last 20 years

Definitely Guadio.

Though his backhand is an amazing shot.

No. Don't agree with this. Just because he only won one doesn't mean he should be considered a weak slam winner.

I'd pick Nadal. Crumbled against the Serbian Armada.
