simplymyself: Roger Federer has completed the career Grand Slam, defeating Robin Soderling 6-1, 7-6(1), 6-4 to win the French Open.“This could be the biggest win of my career,” Federer said in French in a courtside interview. “Now I’ll never hear again that I’ll never win Roland Garros.” Extremely happy for Roger, especially after all the adversity he’s faced in the last year and a half.  Now the debate begins: is he the greatest?  Although I’m inclined to say yes, his main strike against him is his losing record to Nadal.  Can you be the greatest of all time when you can’t even beat a player in your own era?
