Roger Federer’s victory in the Australian Open has got him to sixteen Grand Slam victories, making him, without doubt, the greatest tennis player of all time. But where does he rank alongside names such as Ali, Jordan, Woods, and Schumacher?

Here is my Top 10 sportspeople between the period 1975-2010:
1. Roger Federer (tennis)
2. Tiger Woods (golf)
3. Muhammad Ali (boxing)
4. Carl Lewis (Olympics)
5. Mark Richards (surfing)
6. Greg Norman (golf)
7. Peter Brock (motor)
8. Valentino Rossi (motor)
9. Allan Border (cricket)
10.Tom Watson (golf)

Honourable mentions:
Ronaldo (football)
Serena Williams (tennis)
Michael Phelps (Olympics)
