The Best Their Ever Was.


Move over Pete Sampras, Roger Federer is the greatest tennis player of all time.  Federer proved his greatness even more by becoming just the sixth man ever in the history of tennis to record the career Grand Slam.  Federer has won every major championship at least once.  Becoming the first person since Andre Agassi did it back in 1999. 

Federer won his first French Open title on Sunday by defeating someone not named Rafael Nadal.  But is shouldn't take anything away from Federer who tied Sampras for the most Grand Slams ever.  However, Sampras was never able to win at Roland Garros, and that just makes Federer's accomplishment that much more amazing. 

Now Wimbledon is next for Federer who once again has to be the favorite entering the All England Club especially with the possibility of Rafael Nadal not 100% healthy after being bounced in the 4th round at the French. 

How many more Grand Slams can Federer win?  Who knows?  He's only 28 and still has at least a couple of more good years in him before he will be on the downturn of his career. 

But he could get at least 2 or three more before then.  At that point, there will be no doubt and argument who the best of all time will be.
