When IT asked Mats Wilander if Federer was the best player of all time, the former No. 1 said, “Roger is the best, on paper, of all time, but you have to say that the era when he played was the worst of all time. That’s why he was winning so much. Suddenly, Nadal and these guys came up and they’re better than him. But his era had the worst Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5 we’ve had – the Nalbandians, Roddicks, Hewitts. That’s one of the reasons why Roger dominated so much. He’s not worse (now). He’s still fighting hard and he’s not winning. That’s the only way I see it. How can you be that dominant in this day and age? It’s impossible. But that doesn’t matter. It’s all statistics. So Roger is the greatest.” As for Nadal, Wilander said, “If he physically stays healthy, he has a real good chance of breaking the [all-time Slam] record. Staying healthy is part of greatness. You have to say that Roger is the greatest because he’s been healthy. He’s gone through bad draws, tough matches. He’s had good luck, he’s had no health issues. That’s why you have to say he’s the greatest.” When asked if Nadal will retain his focus and inner fire, Wilander replied, “I think he can. But then again, there are a lot of us who had the focus that Nadal has who couldn’t last mentally. Bjorn Borg, for example, or me. Nadal is more like Jimmy Connors, who lasted forever. Nobody was stopping him.
