An overrated, unintentionally comical player (his constant run-ins with the Chair were a "riot"), who was extremely fortunate to win 2 Slams. He wasn't that good, just a forehand and a sometimey serve, coupled with the insignificant observation, but significant to others that women found him attractive, drooling and sighing all over him at matches and on message boards.

Couldn't disagree more (though I agree with the women and the comedy). He had the best and most consistent backhand in tennis for a long time. And, there were times like Federer/Safin in Australia where he was the best ball striker alive and much more than a serve and forehand. So, I'd not say overrated (that would be Jan Michael Gambill) but a serious underachiever.
