The prestigious sports channel ESPN has released the list of the top 100 athletes of the 21st century, and it includes six tennis players. While the title of the best athlete of this century goes to Michael Phelps, in the second position is Serena Williams, the winner of 23 Grand Slams. A bit further down the list, specifically in 6th place, is Roger Federer. Right after him and just outside the top 10, we find Novak Djokovic in 11th place, followed immediately by Rafael Nadal (12th). This means there are 4 tennis players among the top 15 athletes of the century. The other two remaining players appear lower on the list: Andy Murray at number 80 and Venus Williams at 86.
