excerpts from web in praise of federer on winning French Open
Roger will always miles ahead and he sets higher standards when compared to players of any generation.
20 consecutive Grandslam semi-finals, someone with extraordinary skill for sure!! the man is incredible. The year in which he was "supposed" to have "declined" (2008), he reached 3 out of 4 Grand Slam finals and won his 5th consecutive US Open. His greatness is justified in every respect.
Nadal is a great player but what separates great players from champions is the ability to perfectly balance skill, fitness & have the drive to consistently play at the top level.
The point is, Roger played consistently throughout and deserved to win. I think beating nadal on clay before and owning the guy who took out nadal is good enough. Whether you like it or not, Federer is going down as the greatest.
Conclusion : Federer is the greatest till date.
enjoy the interview with McEnroe
