Perry & Edberg.

I hadn't realised quite how much we suck, actually. Knew Perry was our last winner, but thought we'd at least held our own before then, but no: our Fred's our only champ since WW1. :-O

Yeah, Perry, clearly. Safin not even vaguely close. One of, what four (?) players to win every GS tournament versus a flakey Russian.
