To be named 2004 Sportsman of the Year. (And winning all four Grand Slams in 2005 wouldn?t suck either.)

Winner: Wimbledon, U.S Open, Australian Open, six other titles (and counting). First men's player to win three Majors in 16 years.

Currently 69-6, this at a time when the field in men's tennis has never been deeper.

Forehand, backhand, volleys, serves, returns, slices, cutters, half-volleys, offensive lobs, defensive lobs, running passing shots. He has basically every shot in the book -- and a good many which aren't. Oh yeah, he probably moves as well as any player in tennis history, too.

Won multiple titles on every major surface.

Plays without a coach. Doesn't even have an agent.

Reached nine tournament finals; took winner's trophy every time.

Has won past 17 matches against other players ranked in the top 10. Sewed up year-end No. 1 ranking for 2004 by mid-September.

You will be hard-pressed to find a more genuinely humble and genial professional athlete.

Speaks four languages. Makes a mean fondue.

ROD LAVER: "He has all the ingredients in one body."
JOHN MCENROE: "The most gifted player I've ever laid my eyes on."
ANDY RODDICK: "The dude is sick."
