Federer really isn't as good as he's made out to be. He's playing against some of the worst comp. It's like the best of the "good", not great.

FAIL.
nadal and federer are just simply outclassing ANYONE in the tennis world. they are just that good.
but right now I'm afraid to say that Nadal might actually be better than federer..
the no 1 crown will be handed over soon.
How can it be a "Fail" if it's an opinion? Stupid.
Basically you can name two good players in their day. Take a look at who Sampras defeated.
John McEnroe (Former #1)
Andre Agassi (Former #1)
Ivan Lendl (Former #1)
Jim Courier (Former #1)
Boris Becker (Former #1)
Goran Ivanisevic (Former #2)
Michael Chang (Former #2)
Stefan Edberg (Former #1)
Lleyton Hewitt (Former #1)
So yeah, I really don't think the comp that Federer and Nadal play really make them "great". They are really good players, but I think if you put them against all those great players, they wouldn't have won like they are now.
That's all I'm saying. It's an opinion.
ok instead of saying FAIL, i will say stupid opinion. like it better?
federer beat all these former no 1 or two: sampras, agassi, safin, roddick, hewit, etc.
After roger's rise to prominence, no other players got CLOSE to being number 1. especially after nadal came on the scene as no 2.
Roddick is a great player, also that black dude whose name escape me for some reason.
Roddick won a major before roger became truly great, but after roger is godlike then roddick cant win anymore.
safin was also a major winner.
Roger and nadal are hitting shots that no one could before. They are simply THAT good, so great players just become good players when roger and nadal destroy them
Major problem here. Most of those players were at the height of their career in the early and mid 90's. Federer played those players on at the end of their careers. Federer was BORN in 81, meaning he was 10 years old when Sampras won his first Tennis Masters Cup. LOL.Originally posted by: z0mb13

Roddick is a good player, but not one of the greats of his time. He's been spotty at best. Some great moments, but he's just not consistent. I think you are thinking about James Blake?
