It would really be amazing to see Federer win another GS, especially Wimbledon.

One of the goats? GTFO people

He's the undisputed goat. MJ status of tennis. You can't touch Roger. Every other great from every era even admits it.

No idea about past players tbh

It's not like MJ at all Laughing

MJ didn't have losing records against his biggest challengers and didn't win most of his championships against the weakest era in god knows how long.

Seriously how won most of the slams he has before Nadal and Djokovic got good and has a losing record against both of them and Nadal has more slams since his first slam.

Look he's an all time great and blatantly in the discussion of who is the greatest but it's not undisputed at all.

People are just wanking because he had the best performance he's had in about 5 years and ignoring the fact he's struggled against elite competition in that time.

This. I remember when his biggest competitor was a 19 year old Nadal. And before that I don't even remember who the competition was. An undisputed GOAT would not have his biggest rival have the better head to head record. It would be stupid to say that he is not in the conversation for the all time great but it is not undisputed at all. Really feel Nadal would also be in the conversation if it was not for injuries Sad

17 Majors brev. That's all I have to say.

The guy is 34 years old. Obviously past his prime. Prime Federer today would be as dominant as he was 2004-2009.

How many of these other so called goats do you think would be able to do what he's doing at 34? Nadal is washed up at 29 Laughing

Djokovic's prime came after Roger's peak but he still has a winning career record against him.

Roger's losing record is only against Nadal (not all his biggest challengers). He still had a winning record against Novak, Roddick, Safin, Murray, etc.

You don't win 17 grand slams and aren't considered the undisputed goat.

In terms of pure tennis ability, it's not even close. Federer is majestic. A lot of the other guys are mostly athleticism and don't have the high tennis IQ or mentality of a champion to do what Roger has done.

Nadal is in the conversation. But he will forever be in Roger's shadow. The guy simply wasn't as good a tennis player as Federer. Mostly athleticism m8. It's evident now that he's washed up at 29 now that his legs have gone. Clay is the only thing that's putting Nadal in the conversation.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Jul 11, 2015 7:56 am

The clay argument is silly, it's like saying Federer is only in the argument because of Grass.

Take it away from him he's record is nothing by comparison either, also we wasn't talking about Nadal.... just saying you can't be undisputed when your two greatest challengers have better records against you and that your greatest challenger pre Nadal was Hewitt and Roddick rofl

These are factors whether you like it or not and the reason why he's not undisputed.... early in his career he feasted on a scrub era and post first Nadal title he actually has less slams and Djokovic isn't far behind.

There's just too many factors against him to say he's undisputed, no arguments GTFO type level that you are claiming.

by McAgger Sat Jul 11, 2015 8:00 am

gtfo Moal, take grass away from Roger he's still got 10 majors. Which is more than Novak still Laughing

You take clay away from Nadal, he's just like any other decent player in some era (i.e. Murray and Roddick)

Anyways you're just a casual tennis fan that probably watches majors finals or a few wimbledon matches all year and then looks at h2h records and argues. I'm talking about tennis ability here. Which you can't know about unless you've actually watched matches.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Jul 11, 2015 8:06 am

Nadal has won every slam Laughing

comparing him to Roddick rofl

Been to Wimbledon final 5 times Laughing

GTFO with that nonsense, also anyone who thinks Nadal was mainly about athleticism clearly must be a casual.... you don't win 14 slams and go to 20+ slams final on pure athleticism Laughing

See i can claim i disagree with you so your a casual BS too.
