So fed plays less skilled players but because they are more athletically "talented", he faced better competition?

Do some of you actualy buy this shite?

Didn't Fed have those same advantages I new technologies and training? Didn't he have he advantage that they slowed down grass play from the 90s.

Fact is that outside of Nadal and Djokovic, Federer hasn't faced a person near as skilled for their time as Sampras, McEnroe, Laver faced in their times.

You can't make the argument that athletes are faster and stronger now since your supposed GOATs also have those advantages.

Who were these juggernauts that Sampras faced?? Agassi was arguably the best player he played against consistently. Rafter was good too. Chang and Courrier were good players, but no better than top-5 players of today. Phillipossis? Kraciek? Muster? Henman?

Federer has had to play against Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, Agassi, Hewitt, etc...

Sorry, but I think Fed has played better completion than Sampras.
