There is no equivalent for Federer. He is without a doubt the most dominant, on par with Jordan, but does not have the demeaner of Jordan. Federer is ultra competitive but he does have that “I will destroy anything and everything” vibe. He is always gracious and humble, not something associated with Jordan. Woods is more comparable.

“What kind of self-respecting basketball fan knows this much about tennis? (Iâ€™m kidding of course, but still a little strange)”

Well Bobby, I enjoy that game as well next to basketball. It is probably the only “watchable” sport on TV other than NBA basketball. Why? Because basketball and Tennis are offensive games. Unlike Soccer (football), Hockey, BaseBall and American Football, the game is won by the team that gives up the least points, not the team that garners the most.

If defense was the name of the game, I say we play chess. Its actually like a block-recovery-fastbreak-alleyoop play in the NBA. As the other player thinks he has an easy lay-up, you go block his shot, your PG recovers the loose ball, runs the break, throws up the ball off the backboard and you go up for the dunk. Honestly, Chess is more exciting than Soccer.

If Andy Roddick is Karl Malone then Roger Federer is definitely Michael Jordan. Neither Andy or Karl could get past the other to win a championship. (Besides Andy’s win in 2003.)

duncan is like borg. a winner but boring. dominant and dull. f

ederer is of course mj. the game seems effortless to them. they have another gear when the game is on the line that other players don’t even have in their dreams.

andy roddick = corey magette physical gifts but limited in the style of play. 2 dimensional in a 3 d world

nadal = le bron physically more mature than other players much older than them.

steve nash = carlos moya crafty veterans who get the job done
