Huge call to say Sampras is better than Federer.
I think Federer's the most naturally gifted tennis player, for decades at least, personally.
Plus there's the fact that Federer's pretty much certain to now beat Sampras' (and also his own) record of 14 slams. Although, with age on his side, Nadal has a great shot of beating both men.
And furthermore, Sampras never won the French, whilst now Federer has obviously won all four.
Pretty much everything would point towards Federer being the better player, but it's undoubtedly hard to compare them.
