    Well he's the first man to win the French Open and Wimbledon in the same season since Borg in 1980.

    He's pretty entertaining to watch isn't he? Some of his shots are phenomenal.

    If that's not what makes a champion, i don't what what does.


    And yes, i stand my ground about nadal - he's a cuntwad prick.. He'll never be half the man federer is - gracious, polite, doesn't over-act, one handed backhand, quiet. Utter brilliancy. Federer is the best player that ever lived, period.
    the best man won, get over it.

    I've learned that it takes years to build up trust,
    and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.

    No question Nadal is very entertaining to watch.His athleticism is unmatched.

    Like JP said it's the better man.Best man stands beside the groom.

    Wish he'd stop pulling that eternal wedgie out of his arse..

    @Idol - Federer has already proven consistency.. 17 consecutive Grand Slam semi finals is a fkload of consistency in my opinion... 5 Wimbledons in a row.. 3 Roland Garros finals in a row.. Do I need to point out any more?

    I was taking about Nadal.Federer is the greatest player of this generation hands down.
    Great match though too bad about the result.

    I'm watching the TdF now. Cycling rules.

    Sorry chaps, I go with the facts and the stats. To discuss greatness you discuss majors and overall rankings. Those show the ability to beat the best and the ability to be consistent.

    Were not discussing who was the most entertaining, or the most exciting. It's who was the greatest and Sampras can prove it. I say again I think Federer is a better player, but he hasn't proven it yet.

    Bearing in mind that I think Stephen Hendry was a far better snookerist than Ronnie O'Sullivan.
