True, but Federer has won 6 of the last 7 slams in dominating fashion. I don't think Tiger has ever won 6 out of 7 slams and by the end of this year Federer will have won at least 8 out of the last 10, 9 of 10 if he wins the French. He's won Wimbledon, which the equivalent of the Masters 4 straight years. Has Tiger ever won 4 striaght Masters? 3 straight US Opens? 36 straight Matches?

It's somewhat different with Tennis becuase of the different surfaces. Nadal is a clay court speacialist, Federer owns him on every other surface. Golf has different courses but it doesn't really have the clay/grass/hardcourt breakdown like tennis.

We can go back and forth but I'd just leave it that both of them are among the best ever in their sport and both of them dominate and are head and shoulders above the current competition. It should be a joy to watch them in their primes instead of arguing over who's better.

Federer has won on the same old surfaces, and failed at the French every time.
Lemme know when he wins the French.
Before that, he is not in the same class as Tiger.
Let Federer do what even Serena did, and win all 4 slams in 12 months, then we can talk.

No one could have said it better. (jmo)
