Beijing 2008 Olympics

They started on August 8 and end on August 24

Beijing was elected the host city on July 13, 2001, during the 112th IOC Session in Moscow, defeating Toronto, Paris, Istanbul, and Osaka. After the first round of voting, Beijing held a significant lead over the other four candidates eliminating Osaka. In the second round, Beijing was supported by an absolute majority of voters, eliminating the need for subsequent rounds.

These lists are highly subjective, but my top 5 would be

Men: # Roger Federer # Pete Sampras # Rod Laver # Bjorn Borg # Jimmy Connors Others for consideration would be Andre Agassi, Bill Tilden, Jack Kramer, Ivan Lendl, Ilie Nastase, Lew Hoad. Women: # Martina Navratilova # Steffi Graf # Chris Evert # Margaret Court # Billie Jean King Others for consideration would be Suzanne Langlois, Maureen Connolly, Serena Williams, Monica Seles, Martina Hingis.
