Federer -Greatest amongst the great

The title of the Greatest OF All Time (GOAT) has firmly been tagged on the genius of Roger Federer.

Nadal's exit dramatically opened up the draw for the former world no.1. In the final of the French Open, he ran into an opponent Robin Soderling who could do not better than play into his hands.

The question is: Would Federer have won at Roland Garros had Nadal made the find?

Had Federer beaten Nadal to win the French Open he would''ve crushed the demons of doubt that has dogged his career these last two years. It would've made him THE One instead of one among the top-10.

Nadal ripped off Federer's cloak of invincibility last summer at Wimbledon, beating him in his own backyard, not with any newly engineered tactic or technique, but by sheer tenacity of his craft.

Given that he has played his tennis in an intensely competitive era, and winning as much as he has, makes him the greatest player of all time. But, even if Federer wins Wimbledon this time, in a field that may of may not include Nadal, he's a champion with a chink. The chink is called Rafa.
