Wimbledon Dominance

Wimbledon has a tradition of creating heroes.
Like the dominance by the Williams sisters.
They have been in the finals every time since 2000 (except 2006) and between them have 7 winners and four runners up finishes. They have another three doubles titles as well.
Individually still far away from the 9+3 results of Martina Navratilova. We have not forgotten her seven doubles titles and four mixed doubles titles. She is the true owner of the centre court having ruled over it from 1985 to 2003 (almost twenty years in a sport where speed and strength means so much) when she won the mixed doubles with our own Leander Paes.
We had Pete Sampras winning seven titles and Roger Federer is now a few steps away from his sixth top finish.
Sisters being so dominant have only one other comparable period when in 1881 -89 William and Earnest Renshaw had 8+5 winners and runners up finishes and seven doubles titles as well.

It would be interesting if somebody worked on this angle. Why is there such an history of domination at Wimbledon.

Roger Federer - The new Rod Laver

Hi,
This post is slightly out of date as it should have come immediately after the guy who can cry when winning as well as when loosing made it to the apex at the french open.
Congratulation Roger on your 14th Grand Slam.
With Nadal out of Wimbledon, I am hoping that the Pete Sampras record is going for a tumble very soon.
Best of luck, Roger.
Roger Federer has shown to the world what it takes to be a champion. Many have said that he would not be able to match the genius of Laver but you need to remember that Tennis is now more global than it was in the 60's when Laver was playing. It also needs to be pointed out that Roger has shown that he is a true champion by hanging out there when people had already dipped their quills into his blood for his obituary after he lost to Nadal at the last Wimbledon.
Not that it belittles Laver, Pete or Nadal but the affable Roger is a true champ.
Well done and keep going.
