IDC what anyone says. Federer IS the greatest of all time. If it isn't being shown on paper or the computers, then its shown through his grace and sportsmanship. I think tennis fans who know what tennis is all about can agree that Roger Federer is on a heroic and legendary scale in history.

true tennis fans and tennis PLAYERS, who understand the game know that federer is the best of all time. His grace and elegance is legendary. He makes everything look so easy. He never grunts because his technique is so good. Anyone who says any different is an idiot.

@anthonygareth I think if they had not changed the grass over the years then Federer probably would have beaten Nadal in the one Wimbledon he won. Fed still won many of them. Rafa is a little lucky to have a US Open and Wimbledon title, Federer dominated those tournaments for years! Just like Rafa dominated the FO and Fed is lucky to have one

@beyonciee I'm not sure why you would say something like this (two years ago, ha ha) but I think you need to give Nadal a lot of credit, and Federer as well. They are both GREAT at what they do! Ya know? Fed had a couple of legit chances to beat Rafa at FO but didn't, theother matches weren't really close. Rafa could easily not have a US Open title, but he did beat Novak in the Final a couple years ago. Fed has one FO, and Rafa has one US Open.

[anthonygareth]

If Novak would have beaten Rafa at the Open a couple years ago Rafa would be the one without a US Open title and Fed would have had his one FO title. It is what it is. Nadal is great, they all are. Any of the guys in the top are amazing! and any of the guys from 1-500 are amazing to most of you (no offense). To do what these guys do, with the traveling, jet lag, money at stake, ranking points at stake, legacy at stake, it is truly amazing. Respect them all.

Federer could easily have 20 GS titles right now! He had a couple of legitimate chances to beat Rafa in Paris, he probably would have won 2 out of 3 against Del Potro at US Open but lost that one, he was onepoint away against Novak twice at Open and probably would have beaten Nadal in the Final....you see, 16 is amazing, and he easily could have had more! I think he can easily get one or two more. Look how close he has been. So close. He is the best on paper hands down, but in my eyes he is to

Sampras is definitely one of the best ever bec of his mental toughness, volleys, and SERVES! I have seen them first hand on more than one occasion. Just like everything else in this world (medicine, electronics, etc) athletes advance. Lendl showed the way for Sampras, Sampras with his 14 GS titles showed the way for Federer, Roger showed the way for Novak and Rafa. It is what it is. RF is great. Nadal is great. Roger might get one or two more GS titles to! Keep your eyes open
