it took 13 years for pete to win 14 GS's while it took feDerer 6 years to win 15...

federer is just not going to be the athelete of the decade, he's going to be the athelete of the century , perhaps the greatest athelete in the history of mankind..Reason??? because everything about him is perfect...His career on and off court is an inspiration to all mankind....

roger federer is like a disease...ppl are obsessed with him..

LUCKY TO BE BORN in FEDERER'S ERA!!

@snappycruise 'Best athlete of the last 30 years'. What about Michael Jordan?

@tennis21000 i am a tennis instructor and believe me wen i see my senior instructors teaching kids and people how to play tennis, they all follow federer. he is perfect in everything. serve, volley, forehand, backhand, movement, the way he thinks. everything about him is perfect. nadal is a fighter, a warrior but his physical style of play will never justify him as the GOAT. peace.

[wickedmario007]

@tennis21000 26 consecutive quarters, 237 consecutive weeks at no.1, won 24 straight finals in a row, reached 18 of 19 GS finals at one point. there are countless records. google it. but federer is still leading H2H on non clay surfaces 3-3 on hard and 2-1 on grass. federer is past his prime but rafa was lucky not to have faced him at US open or quicker surfaces in his prime to have a chance to improve H2H. rafa is the most hard working tennis player ever but he dosnt hav complete game as roger

[wickedmario007]

@tennis21000 nadal has won all 4 and is 24 and has 14-7 career H2H against federer. agreed. he is one of the greatest ever. agreed.he is for sure greatest clay couter ever.agreed. but he will never be the GOAT no matter how many GS's he wins.

GS's are not everything in tennis.talk about consistency. federer has reached 23 consecutive semis , contd.....

[tennis21000]

History always repeats itself. Before Roger was coming up people said Pete's record would never be broken or would at least hold for many years to come and look what happened. Now look at Nadal..... he's won all four grand slams at a far younger age than Roger and was beating Roger in his prime along the way.... Imagine if Roger grew up behind Nadal. Nadal would absolutely pummel him for quite sometime given he was a better player at a younger age.... Something to think about.

[TearTheRoofOff]

at 0:38 there is a mistake: He was ranked #1 for 237 consecutive weeks, not 247.
