So essentially this is just your own personal popularity contest?
Federer won the vast majority of his majors in an era without the other 2 in.
I don't rate the bulk of his majors

Did you see the movie with Emma Stone as Billie Jean?

There have been many other such events, none as serious though. My personal favourite is Karsten Braasch beating both of the Williams in the same afternoon.

I never realised any of this. I've never seen the film, no. I like Steve Carell.

Did the Williamses take that unfortunate bashing in good humour? It's pretty funny.
