I create Narratives in my mind of going to watch Federer play at Wimbledon, I wonder if it will ever come true. I will reserve the answer to this one till then!
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Roger Federer 22* consecutive Slam semi finals. I will Bow Down to a person who comes even remotely close to that with a pole.
Pele or Maradona?

Pele. Maradonna in Hand Ball. Hand of God, my hat...
Federer or Sampras?

Federer
Tiger or Nicklaus?

To be honest, I dunno really. But Federer likes Tiger as a friend so I guess Tiger. :d
Schumacher or Senna?

Gil, this is another great shot, on clay against his worst nemesis prior to Nadal, Nalbandian. Roger's reaction after the point was majestic (showing the world why he was the #1 then, and for all time soon afterwards).
