uh, excuse me. sampras just said federer will definitely go up to 19-20 majors, thank you very much! hmp! and even sampras said that in his book federer is the greatest so there!

btw, federer/woods guy-love is awesome, they're good together^^

lol, wth? roger's wimbledon favorite even without nadal, and it's nadal's fault he wasn't in RG final :)) and yes, there's too much stress on roger's supposed impending doom.

nevertheless, it's a well-done video. i thought at first it'd just be usual reporting, so i was surprised to see some effort actually put into it, like choosing background music and a few memorable lines.

Federer is better than Woods, imo..

Federer has 16 majors, Woods 14.

Federer has won those 16 slams in just 8 years, whereas Woods amassed his titles over the course of 12 years..

Woods has, however, won more titles than Federer..but its arguable that in Golf its easier to win multiple tournaments .since its a less physically demanding sport (than tennis)..

Its Federer's CONSISTENCY that continues to amaze me..last 23 consecutive grand slam semis..18 of the last 19 grand slams finals!

"Federer won the French Open in the absence of Nadal.."

No he didn't..Nadal was there. He LOST to Robin Soderling in the 4th round...that's like saying Woods won all his 14 majors because Mickleson was absent..when we very well know he has playing...

americans think that just because woods is the only american dominant player in an international sport other nations are excited about him as they are, so they are comparing him, how great he is, to players that are dominant in really popular sports like tennis and footbal (not american), in reality i guess 90% of europeans for instance care about him as much as they care about a u-9 karting champion cause very few watch golf outside of usa. so of course federer is much greater athlete

Federer's better

Federer helped Tiger find his mistresses.

Yea I agree with you. I too am a huge Federer fan, and to me, I feel like there was too much in common with both men to not have some sort of relationship. I'm sure it's somewhat interpersonal, I mean, they do support each other and all that jazz. But you never know... Both men are so dominant, but to me, Roger has clearly been more impressive in his sport than Tiger. Don't get me wrong, Tiger is dominant, but Federer had been utterly dominant. Also, Roger would never lose 4 in one year.

I'm a huge Federer fan, but it's hard for me to believe that they are "friends". Both are under contract with nike... You know what I mean..? This friendship smells money. Just my opinion.

when you talk about golf you talk about tiger when you talk about tennis you talk about..........me. Quality.

Ooh, just hear Tiger got cut from the Open Championship -- just his 2nd major cut in his career! Wow, maybe Tiger's losing it? No, you can never go against Tiger. He always seems to come back. And hey, he's still got the PGA Championship in a few weeks to get to #15 and match Federer. COME ON TIGER!
