tennis is such a boring sport to watch, just slight par above golf and soccer

No, just no

As for laver vs federer, I would give it to federer imo, but I havent really seen laver apart fromvhighlights and replays of past matches. I just give it to the fed, cos tennis is becoming an increasingly physical sport so I would guess the game is a lot harder now

I am biased towards Federer because of his attitude in sport and towards his opponents.

Who's your favourite player then?
Nadal?
Djokovic?
Murray?

Out of the big 4, I don't like Nadal the most.

He said biased "towards" meaning he likes fed
oh... sorry, I'm crap at comprehending.

Here's another thing we shud talk about:
Federer vs Sampras

I think the main reason why Sampras doesn't compare to Federer was because his performance on clay was much worse. (iirc, Sampras never won the FO)

Yeah the only reason fed doesnt get his hands on the french open more often is because he is usually up against nadal who is arguably the greatest clay court player of all time

Federer is da beast.
Nadal stops Federer.
Djokovic stops Nadal.

The vicious cycle begins.

This tennis trivalry is the best thing ever.

Federer greatest of all time? He isn't even the greatest of his generation, he struggles to beat Djokovic and Nadal.

But he is my favourite player, watching him play is amahzing.

He was smashing Djokovic back in his prime (no need for his peak).

Now that he is an old man and Djokovic is at his peak, Federer still comes as a threat to Djokovic.
Djokovic beats Nadal like it's nothing for like the past 7 or 8 consecutive finals (both of them are in their prime)

Federer is 30 years old bro, and he has been losing to them for a few years.

Federer doesn't struggle against Djokovic if you account for their H2H.
He can beat anyone consistently except Nadal. (Djokovic's peak is the only problem for Fed due to the fact that Fed is no longer in his prime)
Nadal is recently struggling against Djokovic and this is considering they are both in their prime.

30 years old in tennis is pretty old. (Sampras was tenfold times inconsistent as Federer when he was 30)
Fed is still winning ATP titles anyways, the only problem is that slams require much more physical effort.
