    Murray is "doing a henno". His body language tells me he's beaten before he has even lost.

    The difference is that he has an actual opponent besides himself. And that opponent happens to be the best player of all time.

    Murray's a broken man. I hope Federer wraps in up in the next couple of games, eventhough I have money on him to lose. This is just crap.

    If only the cricket was worth watching. Which it isn't.

    No, it's not. Can you name someone better?

    Federer is very good but never played Laver or Borg and only played Sampras once.

    He's the best player at the moment. By a long way.

    In reality, Igor Kunitsyn (ranked 100) would beat both Laver and Borg in their prime. Sampras might scrap into the top 20.

    Men's tennis (unlike women's) tennis advances so much over a short period that even a layoff through injury has you playing catchup.

    3 break points (for a serve to win the set)? Fail.
    2 set points in a tie break? Fail.

    What next, Murray.

    That's dumb.

    Give Laver, Sampras, Borg, Lendl, Newc etc the technology and training available today and who knows how good they could have been.

    Tennis didn't turn professional till 1968 so by saying Fed is the best player of all time just because of 15 grandslams is an unfair statement. If you were to say that he is the best of the modern era then yes, but of all time I don't think so.

    The 'best ever' arguments are always a wank. You can't compare different eras.

    Carl Lewis is nowhere near as fast as Bolt. Means nothing.

    Of course it doesn't when you add "wanky" disclaimers in.

    And there's another grand slam title.

    It's unfortunate that in the old days they had to travel by ship.

    Federer is a great sport and a thorough gentleman.

    Great win by a great person.

    Possibly the best tennis player in history.

    Federer is an absolute joy to watch. I can't remember seeing such a skillful & dominant tennis player in my time (which is only the 80s until present).
