Let my man Andy Roddick win once! LoL this is like the big tennis rivalry, but Federer is dominating him. EVery time they play Federer plays his best I've ever seen with no mistakes and amazing depth on all his shots. And every time they play Roddick is also playing sweet and they say he's playing at a level that could be the kryptonite to Roger.

I just don't see Roddick ever beating him, MAYBE!!! at Wimbledon, but we'll just have to wait and see.

I've never seen anyone play tennis like that. Not even Sampras.

Federer is absolutely insane. Roddick didn't even play bad and he still got destroyed.
Da Bears
That's what I'm saying Zebra.....like he's unstoppable, there is no player unless he is playing absolutely perfect (Or if they are playing on clay) that can beat him.

Roddick was hitting the ball so well too.

I honestly think Sampras is the only one who could beat him mainly because there are no good serve and volley players now days and Sampras was the best ever.

But even then it would be a crazy match. ALl of his shots have such depth and god damnt he's so fast. I've never seen anyone anticipate shots better, it pisses me off.

AND HES FUCKING NICE! His English has gotten better, he smiles, he has a cute girlfriend, not some super model.....and he didn't even have a coach till like early last year.....son of a bitch swiss bastards!!!

Federer would probably beat Sampras in a straight match. Maybe not on grass, but on hard court for sure. He's faster and stronger.

The only person who's even close to him right now is Nadal, and only on clay because that's his turf. Federer will win a French Open or two before he's done though.

Federer is the dominant person in any sport, ever. Really. I don't think anyone comes close.
Da Bears
Michael Jordan (I'm not including Washington Wizards) won 6 championships in his last 6 full seasons, that's pretty dominant.

And Tiger's 6 in a row, that's insane as well.

I wouldn't go as far as ever.....

But he's up there.
The President
Yeah, but he was shut out for 7 years beforehand. Roger has just always been king.

Actually it took him a year or two to get going, he wasn't that great, and he did play Pete Sampras, it's just Roger wasn't that good at first.

And tennis is different, people are in the prime at ages 18-24, basketball it doesn't start till the end of that range and you get better till 30ish.

That's why I say Sampras could give Federer a match, do you guys remember how good Sampras was at 18-20 age...he was pretty amazing.

And keep in mind he too also had 10 majors before 26 just as Roger does right now.

Also remember basketball is a team sport, so dominance in it is a bit different than in something like tennis or golf. You have to focus less on team accomplishment like championships and look at individual stats/numbers instead. Looking at MJ's records, awards, and averages shows he clearly dominated his entire career. Few people in basketball history come close, and the ones who do played in an era that gave them HUGE advantages. Wilt Chamberlain probably wouldn't be near the player is was if he played in today's league.
