On any given day , the top 100 ranked men can beat one another obviously. Consistently , the only guy to do that has been Nadal, I think that Federer is determined to beat him now on a regular basis. The feeling I get and from watching and reading about Federer that is as important to him as winning majors. I would not be surprised to see him knock Nadal off several times in a row . Federer may never win the French, but it does not diminish his greatness. There have been a lot of hall of famers that could not win on one surface or another. He still puts up good results at Roland Garros however. I think that this season Andy Roddick may beat him. His game looks sharp and i expect his Coach Jimmy Conners will really help him. The other guy who is kind of new to the seen is Gasquet from France. He hits a heavy ball similar to Nadal, but may even hit harder from the baseline. This kid barring injury is going to have a heck of a career. He is so talented. The only thing he has working against him is youth and experience. Watch out for him, I predict he will be number one in the world in the next few years.

He may slip at a means-nothing tourney... but at a major I don't think there is anyone out there who can take 3 sets off of Federer. Nadal is good but his game requires him to work to hard to stay in and to win points... I think that eventually his body will break up like Thomas Muster. There really is no one on the horizon unless Jimmy Connors can do something to improve Andy Roddick's court coverage and in-match strategy. Roger Federer is going to dominate the men's game for the next 3-4 years... if anything he will get bored of tennis like Borg did.

honestly, i don't believe anyone can truly beat federer. he may have a few losses to nadal and murray, but everyone is going to slip up eventually. he has the work ethic, charisma, and class that everyone in professional sports should strive to achieve. in the end i feel that federer is truly the best player in the world hands down, with the potential to become the most dominant player in professional tennis history.

Anyone can beat him if they believe in themselves and at the moment Nadal is the only one who has the self-belief that he can beat Federer consistently.

Marat Safin is the greatest and has the potential to defeat Federer and everyone on the tour for that matter.

Today, I actually see no treats to Roger. I don't think anyone can beat him but he may lose if he has a really bad day!
