The series was hosted by [[Jack Nicklaus]], [[Jerry Rice]], [[Wayne Gretzky]], [[Lisa Leslie]] and [[Carl Lewis]].<ref name="list">{{cite web|url=http://www.tennispanorama.com/archives/tag/100-greatest-of-all-time|title=Tennis Panorama News|work=Tennis Panorama|accessdate=2012-03-23}}</ref> Many retired tennis luminaries provided commentary, including [[Rod Laver]], [[Billie Jean King]], [[Chris Evert]], [[Björn Borg]], [[John McEnroe]], [[Martina Navratilova]], [[Pete Sampras]], and [[Andre Agassi]].
