The king.

The new kid missed all the big shots.
But the kid has the same kind of agility,
he does not have to put forth the huge
effort of Nadal or Roddick to win.

That being said, Nadal (injured) still takes
second because he has the killer instinct
and knows what it takes to win,
even though he lacks the ease of play
this new kid and Federer.

Did Federer actually even sweat?
Smooth as ice.

Its really weird.
He hardly looks like he is trying.
The whole game is so natural for him.

And he really does everything well.
But he must win the French to
assure he is the best ever.

I strongly disagree. All he has to do is win 15 slams to be the best ever. His two runner-ups at the French against arguably the greatest mud court player of all time is sufficient.

Borg won 5 French opens (Nadal has got 2 or 3 more to go?), and 5 Wimbledons. Retired at 26, Federer's age now. Thats the man that stands in his way imo.

Points well taken though.

Bjorg had 6 French Opens.

Federer already has 5 Wimbledons, 4 US Opens and 3 Aussies.

12 to 11

Bjorg has 5 runners-up to 2 for Federer.
