I think Federer might be the greatest athlete ever.

He is certainly the best of the 21st century imo - I put him above Bolt now.

Also by far the most aesthetically pleasing athlete to watch, everything he does is so classy and elegant.

He is truly an artist.

With nadal no longer the force he was. Djokovic and Murray dead and none of the others any good, Federer will win them all

Federer is more pleasing on the eye to watch; by far the most beautiful athlete to behold.

I also think tennis is the more difficult sport but that's another debate.

What I like about tennis is that the player is all alone out there, it's all on them whether they win or lose and there's nowhere to hide. There are also very few controversial decisions with the hawkeye technology. A player who wins a tournament usually deserves it.

Missing tournaments cos you know you're too shit to win them isn't tactical. Imagine if every player did that.

I like Federer. A lot. But to give himself an advantage over his rivals come grass court season is not on.

Its why he won Wimbledon last year and probably why he'll win it again. The thing is he is that damn good he doesn't need to have an advantage.
