Let Only Experts talk abt Roger Federer

Pete Sampras, Winner of 14 Grand Slams.
For me, in my prime, I felt unbeatable. In Roger's days, he's unbeatable.
It's really hard to put one guy over the other. Having said that,
I think Roger is dominating the game much more than I ever did.
I think he's going to go on and pass 14 and win 16, 17, 18 majors.
I think he's going to break all records.



Rod Laver, Winner of 11 Grand Slams.
The best way to beat him would be to hit him over the head with a racquet.
Roger could win the Grand Slam if he keeps playing the way he is and, if he does that,it will equate to the two Grand Slams that I won because standards are much higher these days.



Bjorn Borg, Winner of 11 Grand Slams.
He's an artist on this surface. He can stay back. He can come in. No weaknesses. Federer could win Wimbledon six, seven, eight times.
He can play on any kind of surface, he is so complete.
And if he continues the way he has been doing and stays away from injuries and still has the motivation, he will be the greatest player ever.
I think the motivation is the key thing and he has the motivation to continue to play for another three or five years.



Andre Agassi, winner of 8 Grand Slams.
He's the best I've ever played against. There's nowhere to go. There's nothing to do except hit fairways, hit greens and make putts. Every shot has that sort of urgency on it.
I've played a lot of them (other players), so many years, there's a safety zone, there's a place to get to, there's something to focus on, there's a way.
Anything you try to do, he potentially has an answer for and it's just a function of when he starts pulling the triggers necessary to get you to change to that decision.



Jimmy Connors, winner of 8 Grand Slams.
In the modern game, you're either a clay court specialist, a grass court specialist or a hard court specialist ... or you're Roger Federer.



Ivan Lendl, winner of 8 Grand Slams.
He is capable of hitting shots which other players don't even think about trying. He has so many skills.



John McEnroe, winner of 7 Grand Slams.
He's probably the greatest player that ever lived. He can beat half the guys with his eyes closed!



Boris Becker, winner of 6 Grand Slams.
We have a guy from Switzerland who is just playing the game a way I haven't seen anyone—and I mean anyone—play before.
How fortunate we are to be able to see that. If he stays healthy and motivated—and the wonderful feel he has stays with him—he is the kind of guy who can overtake the greatest.



Rafael Nadal, Winner of 5 Grand Slams.
If he is playing very good, I have to play unbelievable. If not, it’s impossible, especially if he’s playing with good confidence.
When he’s 100 percent, he’s playing in another league. It’s impossible to stop him. I fight. I fight. I fight. Nothing to say. Just congratulate him.



Andy Roddick, Winner of 2003 US Open.
Roger is at the top, and he's the only person at the top, regardless of how much people want to make rivalry comparisons and this, that and the other.
He's the best player in the game. There's no question in my mind.
