SINGAPORE -- Andre Agassi says Rafael Nadal should be considered the greatest tennis player ever, not Roger Federer.

Agassi made the comments in an interview with Singapore newspaper Straits Times, saying Nadal's achievements are more impressive because he has had to deal with tougher competition.

Federer has 17 Grand Slam titles to Nadal's 13, although the Spaniard leads his Swiss rival 23-10 in head-to-head meetings.

Agassi is quoted as saying that "I'd put Nadal No. 1, Federer No. 2," adding that "it's just remarkable to me what he has done, and he has done it all during Federer's prime." ...................(more)

1. Federer did it all without doping -

so he gets my vote for GOAT at least in the open era. He gets it over Pete because he won on all surfaces. And he still has more big trophies than Nadal: majors Federer (17) and Nadal (13).

If we go back in time Rod Laver still holds the record with 200 career singles titles.

2. Obviously Andre is back on meth...

Only die-hard Rafroid fans would agree with him...I'm willing to bet he chose Rafroid because Pete is buddies with Roger, and there's no love lost between Pete and Andrew.

3. Well, Roger's got my vote. nt
