Federer is good... he may even be the 2nd best player of all time because Sampras was the best. Federer may win more grand slams, even the French open but he still cannot be compared to Sampras. Look at who Sampras had to contend with. Early in his career, it was Edberg and Becker, than Agassi and Courier. Inspite of such stiff competition he manged to win 14 grand slams and that's the testimony of his greatness. Federer does not have any competition what so ever. For all their claims, Nadal, Ferrer, Roddick, Gonslavez cannot be compared to Edberg, Becker and Agassi in terms of talent or achievments.
