    Well one for tennis fans here. Roger Federer has just won the French Open at Roland Garros. This means he is now joint, with Pete Sampras on 14, most career grand slam tournaments won. His victory also means that he has won a carrer grand slam, having won all 4 majors at some point in his career. His grand slam wins are:

    Australian Open 2004,2006,2007
    French Open 2009
    Wimbledon 2003,2004,2005,2006,2007
    US Open 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008

    So my question is... Is Roger Federer the greatest male tennis player of all time?

    In my opinion,yes. He's only about 27 i think so i think we can safely say that he will break and perhaps increase that record of 14 grandslams. For me though its also the way he plays tennis with such style and finesse. Watching Federer is not like watching a submission match,its a work of art which is beautiful to watch :slight_smile:

    So yes,im sure there are other tennis fans out there on EC,what do you all think?

    Greatest ever?

    ye i think roger federer is the best but on the other hand nadal and murray are only 21/22 so they have plenty of time to catch up but right now i would say federer is th best even if he is the world number 2
