Quotes about Roger Federer
•
Federer is the best player in history, no other player has ever had suchquality.---Rafael Nadal, after winning French Open 2006.
•
Yes, I really hit with him when he was 15, during a tournament in Basel, and Iknew then he would be good, but not this good. If he stays healthy, it willactually be a miracle if he doesn't win more Grand Slams than Pete[Sampras]. The way he picks his shots is unbelievable. He is fast, he has agreat volley, a great serve, great backhand, great everything. If I was hiscoach, what can I tell him? He is a magician with a racket. Even when he isplaying badly, which is rarely, he can still do things with his racket nobodyelse can do.---Goran Ivanisevicon the question if Federer is destined to become the greatestplayer of all time.

I mean, I'm a fan of howhe plays, what he's about, just the fact that I think he's a class—I don't knowhim personally, but seems like he's a class guy on and off the court. He's funto watch. Just his athletic ability, what he's able to do on the run. I think hecan and will break every tennis record out there.---Pete Sampras, winner of 14 Grand Slams.

Roger's got too many shots, too much talent in one body. It's hardly fair thatone person can do all this—his backhands, his forehands, volleys, serving, hiscourt position. The way he moves around the court, you feel like he's barelytouching the ground. That's the sign of a great champion.---Rod Laver, after 2007 Australian Open semifinal match.
•
The best way to beat him would be to hit him over the head with a racquet.Roger could win the Grand Slam if he keeps playing the way he is and, if hedoes that, it will equate to the two Grand Slams that I won because standardsare much higher these days.
