If anyone (on the men's side) belongs in the same class as Borg, it is this man. Federer is phenomenal.

He has done it. Federer just won the French Open.
I think we can now safely refer to him as the best ever.

After the best Wimbledon final I've ever seen....a new record stands.
Good job, Mr. Federer. Quite an inspiration.

Today, after winning his first Roland Garros Tournament, Roger has become the best tennis player of all time. Though he is not my favorite one, I must say that he is the one. He's the god of tennis.

made a hole generation looking like beginners

Well, I've been following tennis for good 30 years now, there has never been a player like Roger. I'm not talking about his wonderful personality and the fact that he is liked by millions, I'm talking skills, footwork, mental toughness, magic shots ... phenomenal. To me there is a huge gap between Roger and second best player of all time, whom I'd be hard pressed to pick.

HE IS A VERY GOOD PLAYER AND MY FAV. TOO....

This is probably one of the easiest ratings I've ever had to give.  I don't like tennis that much but Federer is probably the best tennis player of all-time.  More importantly, the most popular Swiss person since the 'Swiss Miss Girl.'  or Swiss product since 'Lindt.'

He is the best male tennis player of all times

he is the great and he will remain the greatest

Federer is the greatest tennis player ever!!!
better than SAMPRAS,,,BORG,,, and no doubt BETTER than NADAL
federer is BETTER than anybody when it comes to tennis
FEDERER is the best of all-time
"the best there was, the best there is and the best there will ever be

By far the most complete player of all time. Has no weakness. The problem he has is Nadal (one of the best player on Clay) is in his way. I love Federer, but if you have a losing record again your rival, it's hard to rate him as the GOAT. Federer has to beat Nadal at least 1 or 2 more times in a major championship to close the argument.

he is the best

Even if his ranking is 100,  he is one of the greatest tennis player on earth.

i would have put five but since he lost in wimbledon, and he's depressed he's been terrible

Perhaps, he is the greatest ever. Although, Borg has more charisma, Sampras more Grand Slam titles, and Laver's two completed Grand Slams make him transcendently unique; however, Roger's versatile and beautiful play, his incredible ability to gather himself in the decisive moments makes one fully justified to offer a supposition of his being the greatest ever. Even if Borg is my favorite, still.

he is the best

He is absolutely phenomenal and playing an incredible tennis

he is surely the best player in activity

overrated

Has taken tennis to another level.

Undeniably The Future Greatest!

Best ever!

great player

Roger is considered to be the best player of all time. From following the sport for over 30 years, i share that opinion. However many people, including other tennis players base this on his style, his temperament, his shot making ability. Roger is like the creation of what everyone would consider to be the ultimate player. He is the best player to watch ever, that's why everyone is still in awe. We have all forgotten Sampras in a hurry, but i am of the opinion that if they existed in the same era, Sampras would come out on top, especially on grass. People also forget that other greats Borg, McEnroe, Connors all existed in the same/similar eras. What else would they have won without each other around. Nadal is Federer's nemesis, but on Clay only. Otherwise he has been peerless. I disagree with comments made about the standard. There is much more depth than ever, but nobody close to the top two. Take them out of it then all would be a lot less predictable in the top 100.Lets not forget McEnroe won 79 of 82 matches and 14 tournaments in 84, Connors was world number one for years. Other good players are Agassi, becker, edberg, wilander, lendl, Vilas, but not truly great

Federer is the king of tennis. He is a one man army, an unbeatable, unvincible force which can throw out any tennis player of ATP & WTA combined. No Henin, No Sharapova, No Roddick can stop him. If anyday he will lose it will be a lucky day of Nadal. Billie Jean King beated Tommy Riggs but you know what Roger can be an answer to all WTA players combined.

Roger is the best tennis player to ever play the game. No one before has ever showed the kind of shot-making ability on a consistent basis like him. When he first hit his peak (2004-2005) you literally heard oohs and aahs from the stands throughout his matches. Who else in tennis has every done that.

the best tennis player, wait for him to win Rolland Rarros and overcome the 14 Sampras' GP's

Just Brilliant and yet so composed and matter-of-fact attitude

I hate to say it but besides Nadal there is a huge drop off in talent in the men's top ten...3-10 looks like what 25-35 used to look like. There is a huge loss of quality players in mens tennis right now.

still more to come from this phenom!

he`s outstanding!!!!!

I love Roger Federer...very consistence

I first started to take notice of Federer about three years ago.  At that time, he was quickly becoming the best tennis player on tour.  I thought that maybe he was simply on a hot streak, that he was playing well at that time but it probably wouldn't last.  Just over two years ago, I had a slight change of opinion and opined that he was the best tennis player I had ever seen in my lifetime.  Over these last two years he has only validated my opinion.  He seems to be the heir-apparent of Pete Sampras, and much like Sampras, Federer is a complete juggernaut: He is hands-down the best current tennis player, mentally and physically.  He has the "eye of the tiger," -the utmost confidence, desire, and concentration.  From a talent perspective not only is he the best overall ATP player, but the best in almost every conceivable facet of the game: His groundstroke ability is awesome (his backhand is still a weakness, however) he can turn any kind of a deep-court defensive shot and turn it into an offensive winner, with amazing angle and velocity- with astonishing ease and non-chalance.  He can seemingly hit any kind of volley from almost anywhere on the court.  And his service game is one of the best also.  I've seen some perfectly-formed tennis players in my lifetime, but I've never seen anyone who's body is so perfectly built for the sport as Federer.  He is thin and agile, but very toned.  Which means an awesome combination of quickness, speed, and power.  He never seems to be exerting any strength or tiring himself down.  He's amazingly fit and fluid in his motions.  It's too bad that Federer isn't American but it's nice to see someone as likeable and awesome as him on tour -American or not.

Federer has more tools in his tennis tool box than anyone I have ever seen as an avid tennis fan for 30 plus years.

Obviously the best player ever 7 straight grand slam finals and he will break Connors record for most consecutive weeks at No. 1 (which most considered unbreakable). he will also break Sampras record for most grand slam wins soon as well. It's really no competition, he is easily the best that has ever played. he is a machine.

Federer is just an unbelievable tennis player. He certainly has the potential to become the best ever. Unlike Sampras, who also was a remarkeable good tennisplayer, Fedrer is a very good clay court player and has the game to win rolan garros. Besides that Federer also has a very good chance of surpassing Sampras record og 14 gran slams, winning 8 gs in just 3 years. He's also soon within reach of Agassis record of 17 master titels at a age of just 25. So Roger Federer gets my vote for sure :)

Roger is simply the best, he is going to smash every record in tennis and is redefining the game, there is no ohter with a sweeter game

Its difficult to say who is the best player ever, Why? The era if different, the olds, told you (Emerson, Laver) the new era said (Connors, McEnroe, Borg, lendl, Agassi, Sampras) an at time (2006) Federer, Nadal. To me who makes the different in the records were Federer.

greatest player ever

I have no doubt he is the best ever. All living great tennis players agree he is the best.

He is the greatest tennis players of all times

Has all of the shots and plays extremely well under pressure. The thought of him continuing to improve is scary as he is already one of the best ever.

HE IS JUST A LUCKY GUY, DONT HAVE ANY REAL OPONENT IN HIS TIME!

I am a great tennis fun Difficult to say who is the greatest all time tennis player, better impossible Laver,Borg Mcenroe, Donald Budge Sampras. I think that any one of these great palyers today would loose 6/0 continuous with Federer, and not only against him So if I need to choose the greater is Federer

On his way to be the best ever.... and the same time a very nice guy. just lets hope that he will get a serious rival...

Just Facts! Compare Federer's record with anyone else, ever. IM A HENMAN FAN. 3 straight Wimbledons, 2 US Opens, 2 Australian Opens, Semi-final at the French (4 sets, more than Sampras could say), 3 straight Masters Cup finals, 8 Masters Cups, 23 Hard Court Titles, 5 Grass, and 6 Clays. Beat Agassi at the USOpen (6-time finalist), Sampras (7-Time Champion) there, Coria (15-time clay court finalist), Nadal (9-time clay court champ), and Safin (4-time Grand Slam finalist and 25-time singles champion.) IM A HENMAN FAN.

Roger Federer - he's simply betterer.
