Roger Federer's dominance in men's tennis only raises question is he the all time best tennis player ever to have played the game.Certainly one thing he struggles for sure a quality opponent who can challange him in the tennis court.If he demolishes player who are ranked no.2 and no.3 what else his rivals can do.

Loads of them compared Borg and laver to Federer and rated higher than him in several websites my simple comment to them all "they have a good sense of Humor, since they compares and rates a player above Federer who cant even win 1 US open or Australian open. Borg might come in the top 10 not even in the top5. Agassi is a lot better player than him. Sampras will not even come under top 10 players.The closest match or the number 2 will be Rod Laver. But even Laver will agree that Federer is better than him and the best the tennis world has ever seen.Federer is so great bcoz he is close to perfection, he is a god's gift to tennis, and I dont think any other generation had a better player than him, might be in the future if the God wants to create another genius."

Every generation tennis player genius were special in some aspects, but if you look at Federer he will all the specials in him from playing,stats ,styles ,fans to records.

But the question mark is will he win in French Open, will he will all the four titles in a single calander year.
If the answer is yes in my view he is the best of all [no question further], but if the answer is no, where would you rate the player all timer.

I definetly feel this guy will go onto win the French open this year ,indeed will win all slams this year and will make a mockery of records before he finishes with his tennis.

One thing for sure he has pulled a loads of viewers to tennis just by his prescence and cool approach in playing.I have already rated him the sports man of our generation ahead of some F1,golf,cricket and soccer legends, has to be seen whether federer deserve to hold the tag or he slips.

Whats your say guys on all time tennis players.

Reason Rafter is up there ahead of Sampras bcoz he is a better player with less luck.
I do remember most of his classical encounter which he won against Agassi.

If a question raised Sampras or federer, any case it is Federer. I had to put Feder next to laver only because federer hasnt won Frenc Open yet, let him win it and take the top slot.Cheers.

Its difficult to put a list thou. but not difficult to say who is the greatest is, Roger federer.

Ofcourse Laver comes close,but he didnt play in different surfaces like now,rather he played most in grass courts.Sampras and Emerson might have won more slams but they all had weakness cant play clay court and could never overcome that weakness, evern Federer has the same weakness but wait and see how superbly he overcomes that weakness and once he does that I dont think there will be a debate.

Hailing Sampras even as a great player is an insult to tennis and french Open, even Sampras fans would accept he cant be rated in top3. Sampras is the greatest player so far on grass court but has to be seen whether Magical Roger beats that record as well to become the best ever grass court player.

For all who say there is no competetive players around in this generation , take back your words there are loads

Marat Safin,
Lleyton Hewitt,
Andy Roddick,
Fernando Gonzalez,
David Nalbandian,
Rafeal Nadal,

all are great players but sufferring without many title because of Super Natural Roger Federer.

Come on guys Sampras not on top3 ridiculous
on Jan 31, 2007
Sampras is the best tennis player of all time without doubt.

Sampras is a good player but to say him as the best ever is bit like kidding.
