re: Michael Phelps Dominance

winning 3 majors in the past 2 years? Just the fact that he's been to 21 straight grand slam semis when the next closest in Lendl with 10 is a mind frick with the depth of competition now and the variance in surfaces being so great

And Nadal has really only become a true threat in the past 2 years. Before that he was worthless on hard courts.

I think that Federer is probably the greatest tennis player of all time considering his career grand slam and total number of titles, but when you compare him to Michael Phelps in terms of sheer dominance over the rest of the field, I don't think he can touch him. Especially considering that Nadal has emerged as such a strong rival in the past few years.
