I think Federer is a great tennis player, but it must take a long time before he can be  as good and as famous as Agassi and Pete Sampras!

Honestly speaking, THE ANSWER IS YES.\n\nI have a great feeling that Rafael Nadal's rampage on clay will be put to halt on 2007. Others may form speculations that Nadal is already on his way down, but that would not be entirely true. Nadal will still win numerous matches on clay --- but it won't be the same as his performance this year. \n\nAnd of course, Roger Federer will be there to exploit Nadal's weakness. He will just play superb tennis; and he will punctuate answers to every Nadal shots that he was not able to solve in 2006. The confidence of winning over Nadal back-to-back-to-back (Wimby/Shanghai/Seoul, though on different surfaces) will give Roger enough confidence. I think nobody would argue that had Federer been more confident during his previous battle with Nadal on clay, the result would have been different.\n\nNadal will still win a number of clay tournaments this year; unfortunately for him, the French Open will slip from his hands. Roland Garros trophy this year will not just be a trophy --- it will serve as an EXCLAMATION POINT proclaiming who is the Greatest Tennis Player of All Time...

For World Cup, I think Argentina although Brazil is traditonally strong.\n\nFor Male Wimbledon, Roger Federer is 85% for championship. 10% for Nabandion and 5% for Nadal.\n\nFor Woman, Henin is 99% for championship, I don't see any player which can beat her recently.

I like Andre.  But Federer is the most complete player I've seen, and I've been watching tennis for 20 years.

I agree that he has a great forehand and a good serve, although his certainly is not the best serve around. What makes him so good is that he has the whole package--something that no other pro in recent memory can claim. \nIn addition to his forehand and serve, his backhand is exceptional, his volleys are as good as anyone's, and his strategic sense is among the best.\nFinally, he is one of the best players I have ever seen at reading the opponent's shots and getting to them with speed and balance. I don't know if he is the fastest pro when it comes to sheer footspeed, but no one moves as fluidly and quickly to the ball.\nHe's not quite invincible, but he is clearly the best player the world has ever seen.

No one can be replaced with Roger now . He is supreb . And proved his brilliance . He is improving in each match . He is absolutely brilliant in grass as well as hard courts . He is hardworking . He has to improve a lot on clay . I think he is improving a lot in this clay court season. Hope he will show his ability and talent once again in this comming French Open 2006 ... And will prove he is a legand of tennis ...

I too think that he would choose Nadal to play. Nadal is the only player who has a winning record against him. There is a little bit of talking about who really is the best player on the pro circuit. I think that Federer wants the chance to beat Nadal and regain his title as the Unanimous number 1 player in the eyes of the fans.

Of the 2, it's still Sampras. Federer has done some amazing things.- 24 straight wins in finals, longest hard-court winning streak, 7 Slam titles so far. He's also possibly the most gifted player in history. He can routinely hit shots that noone else ever tries. He can play offense and defense equally well. \nEven so, if you look at what Pete acheived (14 Slams, #1 for six straight years, the competition he faced), it's hard to argue that Federer is better. In a few years he may well be, but he'll need to win a few more Majors first.

Whns did the new era began? Right now, Ronaldino is the best player. Probably the best player of the past 15 years... Maradona´s prime came to an end in 1990. Messi is regarded, as many pthers, as the next big one... but Ronaldino is the best there is now!

Pele is the best.\nMaradona was not bad but how he has been tainted by drugs - he cannot be an ambassador for the sport unless he gets some proper rehabilitation
