Question

Who will go down in Pro Tennis history as the greater player, Pete Sampras or Roger Federer?

Answer 1

I would say Federer. Personally, I think that even if Federer wasn't there, Sampras is not the greatest ever because of his inability to win on clay.

You have to wait till the end of Federer's career to compare the two players. I think that Federer will have more Grand Slams by the end of his.

Answer 2

I would say Federer, but you can't really tell yet because Federer's career isn't over. When it is, we can all really compare the two. =D
