First off, I would like to thank my master, @Krish872007 for introducing me to the teachings of @Federer20042006. For those of you who don't know him, he was a one-of-a-kind Fed fan who actually saw the truth behind Federer's career. And although he isn't here with us anymore, his legacy lives on and continues to have a strong influence to this day.
Anyway, here is my list of players who I think are more talented than Federer as of now, in addition to the players listed last year in the original thread.
Ferrer: Better junk balls, scrappiness as a player, forehand, topspin backhand

Delpo: Better forehand, speed

Raonic: Better serve, speed, return, net play

Gasquet: Better backhand, forehand, serve

Isner: Better serve, net play, speed, footwork, return

Simon: Better junk balls, forehand, return

Anderson: Better serve, speed, footwork

So that's 7 additional players to add to the list, which makes Federer the 19th most talented player on tour. That just shows you how strong the competition is now, as Federer was dropped 7 places within just a year. And Federer is at his peak right now!

Feel free to suggest any names you think should be added to the list.

I like Movies, Courage and Orange Appeal the most. :D A great album overall like you said, definitely something I like to listen to often.

125 does look a lot like Dryden now that I think about it!
 
I'll take the comparison :) But this is a band I've never heard of. I need to broaden my music taste. I basically listen to whatever the gym plays :confused:
 
Ram Puri in my street.
Also, Samosa Kant in the next street.
All more talented than Fed. What has he done other than fathering 4 children as two twins. Overhyped tennis player !
 
You forgot Justin Brown, better S&V player (has a better grass record against Nadal than Federer, I think) and better behind-the-back volley
 
I think we are forgetting Marinko Matosevic here. Seldom have we seen such a display of talent.
 
I never thought I would see the day where it is claimed Gasquet has a better forehand than anyone. Next to Alberto Berasetegui, he has the strangest grip I have seen by a tennis player, extreme but turned the other way round.
 
Coric: plays like Djokovic on a good day, and Murray on a bad day - and since Djokovic and Murray both have more talent than Federer, this result follows via transitivity

Kyrgios: more power, better serve, forehand and backhand

kyrgios more speed and better character too.
 
Ferrer - much more stable from the baseline, more talent in not making errors, whereas Fed breathes errors all the time
Monfils - much better at hitting 180 kph forehands, far more athletic, better and Roddick-like first serve, better at trickshots
Lopez - much better volleys and serve, also better slice, far more popular with Judy Murray in multiple ways so a more talented ladiesman,
Serena Williams - better mental strength, bigger first serve, more muscular, multi-gen domination, better outbursts

Oh they aren't new I guess, eh whatever.

I'm not even sure who are you trolling... Federer's fans or Federer's critics?

PS. Isner better footwork than Fed is a stroke of genius... Would have never cross my mind. That crane of a player...

When you think about it, I guess pretty much every single player on the tour is more talented than Fed. It's just that they haven't been able to get as many lucky breaks as he has? ;)
 
Better than Fed?

FH: Radwanska
BH: Schiavone
Slice: Sharapova
Serve: Dementieva
Footwork: Serena Williams
Volley: Azarenka
Mental: Dinara Safina

Fed is way overrated.

I do think if Ferrer had a massive serve he could have been huge with that mentality. I might get flak for this but Roddick serve + everything else Ferrer > Roddick imo..
