Rod Laver (11 grand slam titles)
Fred Perry (8 grand slam titles)
Andre Agassi (8 grand slam titles)
Don Budge (6 grand slam titles)

I think Nadal is the favorite to do it next just because he is so dominant on clay so it will be hard for him to lose a French.
Which one did Sampras not win?

Wow what an awesome match. I was so nervous watching it. Federer is my favorite athlete in any sport. I sure hope someone knocks Nadal out of the French early next year!
