I think its great! Finally he has proven that he can also take Paris, at the same tying Sampras' previously held record. But more impressively, it brings him into the elite group of six men who have been able to win all of the four grand slam tournaments - the career grand slam. With the pressure off of him after the Paris victory, I have no doubt what so ever that Roger will now win several more grand slams, surpassing Sampras, as he should. Roger still has a couple of things to achieve: winning the four grand slam tournaments (Wimbledon, US Open, Australian Open, and Roland Garos) in a single calendar year, or at least in a row, and then of course there is the Davis Cup. For the latter he will of course need some support from at least one more Swiss player, and thus this is not entirely in his hands. Whatever the case may be, there should be no more doubt what so ever that he is the greatest tennis player of all time.

I was a big Samprass fan I never wanted anyone to break his record..But then came Federrer..His game made me a big fan of him and I wanted him to level\break Samprass as early as possible..To me he is the greatest ever..About winning all the slams in one season..I think its hard even for him..
