    Stats dont always tell the full story. For example, the stats say that harry kane is a better striker then Henry because he has scored more premier league goals yet no one would argue that kane is better. Henry is pretty much accepted as the greatest striker in premier league history yet he’s only 6th (i think) on the list of goal scorers.

    Perhaps another example more relevant here is Tiger Woods & Jack Nicklaus. Nicklaus has won more majors (18-15) then Woods yet Woods really is almost undisputed as the greatest golfer of all time.

    Yes fully accept Nadal & Djockvic have won more grand slams but personally for me, the way Federer played the game was a sheer joy. He could do things that not many others have done, he always just looked effortless. But there are some stats/no one has yet beaten I believe such as winning 24 finals in a row, 36 grand slams in a row where he reached minimum quarter final. I believe he holds the longest consecutive reign as number 1 with 237 weeks.

    If you judge who is the greatest only on grand slams then yes, he isnt but as we know with all sport, there is never just one factor used for judging.

    He certainly outdid everyone else for smugness and being a bad loser

    What the piss are you talking about?
    You’re talking bullshit so I’m saying so.
    Federer is in the conversation for the GOAT. Just looking at grand slams is too simplistic.
    I’ve seen interviews when he’s lost and he’s been gracious in defeat.

    And you're getting angrier and angrier

    Seriously the sad devotion to the Smug Swiss by his fans is as ridiculous as it it pathetic, just glad I and many others I know can see through it

    And by the way i'm pretty certain Nadal's lost more time through injuries in hia career than either Jokeavich or the smug swiss - he'd be miles ahead now if he hadn't

    Federer's final match is tonight, in doubles teaming up with Nadal.

    Don't get why it is so poisonous between fans when it clearly isn't between them.
