I saw Borg play a lot and he was extremely fast when he needed to be. As far as hand quickness, McEnroe was and still is in a world all alone. He was flat out amazing. Now if I had to rank them 1 and 2 I would probably rank Borg ahead of him just based on record. I just hope that Federer doesn't have the same misfortune with the French as did Johnny Mac and as Borg did with U.S. Open. Now Gander mentioned a guy that was also extremely impressive to watch in person and that is Boris Becker. Reason being is he was a monster. When he was playing he was 6'4 245lbs. The guy was amazing to watch. Equipment does have a lot to do with some of the stuff they do, but it's that way in every sport. Jack Nicklaus never hit a 460 cc driver and is still considered the greatest ever by most. Right now I think everyone would agree that both Federer and Woods will go down as the greatest to ever play their respective sports, but Federer could get it done this year by winning the slam.
