The problem with doing doubles nom's, is you might get McEnroe against McEnroe & Fleming, which might confuse a stupid person i.e. me.

Still I'll nom Hewitt & McMillan and McNamara & McNamee. I do have fond memories of the doubles in bygone years all the best players played in them. Still think some top players should, it really helps the net-play, IMHO.

I will purposely do that now, and I'm sure Simon will lead that charge :p

In all seriousness, his video game legacy alone puts him above Grand Slam winners such as Thomas Johannson and Richard Krajicek.
