Can't believe Roy Emerson hasn't been mentioned.
Held the Grand Slam Singles record (12 from 15 finals) before Sampras broke it.
Outstanding doubles record as well.

I asked my dad about Emerson, as he remembered that era of tennis.
He said that a lot of the top players joined the professional circuit in Emerson's era, thereby meaning the level of competition wasn't as good when Emerson won his numerous Grand Slam singles titles.
