Roger Federer Trivia!
I think it is grossly unfair to say that Federer wouldn’t even crack the top-10 if he played against Lendl, Becker, Sampras, Agassi, Connors et al in their primes. Yes, there were more multiple grand slam winners then and it was tough to predict who would win an event when they all competed together, but doesn’t that just mean Federer is just so far ahead of the rest?

Look at it this way, if Federer wasn’t around, Nadal would have 2 Wimbledons to go with his French title, Djokovic would have had his breakthrough this year and Andy Roddick, Lleyton Hewitt and Marat Safin would be multiple slam champions. Heck, even Marcos Baghdatis would be a slam champion. And you know what, everybody would say it was a new golden age in tennis with competition so tough it is difficult to predict who would win a tournament.

So, why not give the man his due. Federer is the best tennis player now and maybe ever. Good players come and go, but legends will remain indelible.

True.. and comparing him to players of a different era is meaningless. Tennis was a different game back then with wooden racquets and all. Not like the technology they have today with better racquets, better shoes and breathable clothing. Not to mention better ball quality and training equipment.
