Roger Federer could have achieved the Calendar Grand Slam - Agassi
Andre Agassi was in some ways surprised by seeing that Roger Federer could not achieve the Calendar Grand Slam, it means winning all the four Majors in the same year. Now many people think that Novak Djokovic may achieve this unbelievable feat, but Agassi warned: "Nobody has come close to winning four in the same year. Federer could have done that three times with one match against one guy that he couldn't seem to beat on clay (Nadal).
So you're talking about historic achievements. I get it when my generation left, (Andy) Roddick comes in as an American wins a Slam, somebody comes in and wins a Slam but Federer, it looked like he was this guy coming in at the right time and then he ends up having to compete against two of the greatest ever for the rest of his career and does it. So I feel like these guys just kept raising the bar of tennis. While we can all live nostalgically, it'd be very unfair to not give them the credit they deserve. If you ask anybody Who's the greatest of all time, you're going to have people give you an answer and you're going to have people argue it and there's a hell of a chance that they're talking about these guys."
