    If federer wins the Australian open is he the geatest sportsmen ever??

    18 slams IF he wins. He is 31 and would be relevant in the most competitive era ever in my opinion the most complete sport in the world...

    Obviously this is hyperthetical...

    Why would the Australian Open matter? He is already regarded as the best in his sport by most of his peers, present and past. Many players are playing longer nowadays due to advances in sports science, clever scheduling (take note Nadal) and racket technology. Though the modern game negates longetivity due to the long rallies.

    The greatest sportsman ever is such a subjective term, close to impossible to say. Unless someone comes along and has a McEnroe (84), Federer (2006), Djokovic (2011) year after year for a long ass time. Federer had some great years, though Nadal impeded that to a certain degree on Clay during Federers prime (2004-7).

        Pretty much this.

        Nadal is already breaking down, it will be interesting how he does at the French Open. Either way he has an built in excuse (a justified one at that) if he losses or better doesn't make it to the finals. But he may slowly creep up on Federer's total of slams if he keeps racking up wins at the French, and wins a U.S., Wimbledon, Australian here and there.

          Federer stylistically struggles with nadal. I think its the heavy spins to his single handed backhand.

          With nadal gone hes got a great shot at getting to 20 majors.

            He is already the greatest tennis player of all-time.

              It's a fair shout and it would be wrong for the guy not to even be mentioned when talk comes up.

              He's easily the G.O.A.T. when it comes to Tennis and the fact he's still mixing up their now with the likes Novak, Murray & Rafa.

                No because he looks like Michael Koncz.
