Roger Federer currently has 16 Grand Slam titles to his name, holds the record for the longest time as world number one (237 consecutive weeks) and an Olympic Gold medalist. Federer also has over 60 world records relating to his tennis career. This is all extremely impressive, but is Federer the greatest of all time?
Federer is currently 29 years of age and ranked number 3 in the world. Many players his age drop a significant amount in the world rankings. Federer is 4 years older than Rafael Nadal and 5 years older than Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray who are his biggest rivals. Its amazing how he can keep up his quality of tennis against his younger rivals.
Debate has broken out recently about who is actually a better tennis player than Federer. Names like Pete Sampras, Rod Laver, John Mcenroe, Bjorn Borg, Andre Agassi and Rafael Nadal were all suggested. All the players above have been some of the greatest tennis players the world has ever seen. But is one of them better than Federer?
In my opinion, Federer is the greatest player in history. Modern tennis is a tougher and more demanding game than it used to be. For Federer to still be playing at the level he is now is simply extraordinary.
What do you guys think? Who is the greatest tennis player in history?
I think you mean Roger Fedora*
ReplyDeleteGreat article though!
Im 100% sure its Federer
ReplyDeleteI agree. :)
ReplyDeleteFederer is the greatest player of all time. One of the greatest athletes of all time.
ReplyDeleteI suppose he's alright. Never was a true fan of tennis though.
ReplyDeleteRoger Federer is currently the best, but when he goes, I'll expect Nadal to take hold for many years to come.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, couldnt say it better myself :)
ReplyDeleteNo.. Nadal is already

He's very good but i enjoy watching that Serbian guy more. He's funny on the court.
ReplyDeleteFederer is incredible,Nadal is younger though so he's the guy for the next 5+ years I think. Following :)
ReplyDelete29 isn't that old is it? There was a football player, I think Jerry Rice who played till he was 40-something and was damn good from what I remember. Different sport though.
ReplyDeleteagreed, great post too.
ReplyDeleteFederer is great, I watched him play when I was on Sicily last year. :D
