I dont know how you can put Sampras over Federer. He never came close to winning the French Open. His best showing there was 1 semifinal. He in fact only won 2 tournaments ever on clay, 1 of them being the Italian Open, which was pretty significant, the other a US Clay tournament which isnt really a significant win at all.

Federer has reached at least the semis in the last 20 Grand Slam events. Hes went on to the finals in 19 of those. Of those 19 finals hes lost to only 1 player- Nadal, and won 14 of them. His only galring weakness is very obvious...his bad record in head to heads against Nadal. But he still has time to win 2 or 3 key matches against Nadal (preferrably at the French) to make that go away.

Greatest ever? A judgement call but to put Sampras over Federer just plain nuts.
