hi friends ...
today let us discuss on two sporting greats... Sachin Tendulkar and Roger Federer. No doubt both of them influenced on their respective sports. Now the question here is who is the best..?
Though it sounds different as the two belong completeley different sports. Even then we dont lose any thing if some comparative study is made.
Tendulkar has been playing cricket for the past 20 years... where as Federer appeared only after 1997 in Tennis. Tendulkar holds world records in highest number of centuries, runs etc... where as Federer holds grandslam records. Tendulkar performed in tests and oneday matches as well. Federer won the titles on all courts.
cricket is a team game where in the performance of the individuals depend on other team mates. Federer is a solo performer as the tennis requires so. There has been a debate on Tendulkar's supremacy in cricket. The critics only compare with the cricket greats like Bradman, Brian Lara and Ricky Ponting etc. But Federer became as undisputed hero in tennis as he surpassed the records of Rod Laver, Pete Sampras and other tennis greats.
We can not see the carreer of Tendulkar beyond another 3 years. Where as Federer will have a carreer of atleast 5more years. The way Tendulkar made a double ton in one day match at the age of 37 years, proves he is more thirsty on records. And the way Federer came back like a lion from the mere downfall of his carreer... proves he is uncomparable. When he lost in 3 straight sets at french open final 2008 against Spain bull Rafael Nadal and when he wept in despair after losing Australian Open final against the same rival... no one expected federer to comeback to claim his no.1 rank.
Today though Tendulkar's double ton is remarkable... we can not claim him the no1 in cricket. But Federer is undoubtedly the greatest champion.
