    I'm not sure if he's the greatest ever, but surely he is among the top.

    Tennis racquets have changed so much over the past 20-25 years that it's hard to compare a person who plays today's power-driven, speed-of-light game with someone who played with the finesse required to win with wooden racquets.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he couldn't play just as well with an antique racquet- he is obviously extremely talented- but I'd have to be able to see everyone playing on equal courts with equal gear before I would award him the Best Tennis Player Ever trophy.

    Out of the current players, he is undoubtedly the best, though.

    not yet, by the end of his career i am sure he will be. I dont think anyone with half a brain at all doubts him because he probably is the most talented player ever.

    Perhaps. But in my heart, Andre Agassi is the best tennis player - ever. I have met him and he has a great heart too. That counts. Big time. :)

    No not yet. The best today but not the greatest ever. I'd have to say Pete Sampras for that one.

    I really don't think so. IMHO, the field of men players right now is weaker then it has been in the last 20 years.

    Quite possibly. I have been watching tennis since 1985 and he is the best I have seen, I have never known the men's game dominated the way that he has dominated it for the last 3 years; even Sampras at his best only ever dominated at Wimbledon, you still felt he was beatable on anything but a grass court... but even on his weakest surface of clay, Federer still looks supreme and better than everyone bar Nadal.

    Bjorn Borg or Rod Laver may have been better than him; they won routinely on every surface. Aside from those, I don't know of anyone else who comes close. When he wins the French Open, which I think he will, then he will be beyond doubt the greatest of all time in my opinion.

    Not the greatest ever YET. He easily could go down as the greatest ever someday.

    I think he is the greatest playing today.

    He is certainly a contender for that title and as the game looks today it is definate that his record is going to look that way.
    On th other hand the mens game is pretty weak at the moment so it is very difficult to say greatest ever. Sampras was playing at a time when the field was still very strong as was Bjorn Borg who actually retired at 25.
    He is certainly the best for a long time and one of the greatst ever
