Federer plays Roddick tonight

[Samarta]

I played tennis at what I guess would be considered a pretty high level and was fortunate to see a lot of the greats and until Federer came along I thought McEnroe was the most talented player I had ever seen. Not necessarily the best because of records, but man he had the softest hands ever. Federer has taken it to a level, that puts him in the Jordan/Woods class. He is flat out amazing. At this point, I think he is clearly the most dominant athlete in sports. I think even more so than Tiger.

There was some talk about Safin in the thread. He does have game but it's one dimensional and he's got nothing between his ears. But the scary thing about a guy like that is he is capable of beating anyone if his timing is right because he hits it so damn hard.

I just hope that Federer can figure out a way to win the French becaue at this point unless something bizarre happens, I think he is a lock to win the other three legs of the slam. He is one of those athletes that I feel priviledged to be able to watch.
