Not really. He's 5 short, and he's only 25. You realize, of course, that Samprass never won all four majors. Agassi is on a short list of players who've won a career grand slam, and I don't think any of the others are active, or have been for a long time. He's got talent, and he's good, but so was Agassi.

Sampras almost did. But Federer has now appeared in the last 6 grand slam finals. He has more shots than any player I've ever seen. So we'll see if: > > 1.) Federer's body can hack it. Always a variable. 2.) Federer's mind can hack it. Not even an issue. He's the calmest champion I've ever watched. 3.) Federer can win on clay. Sampras didn't, Mcenroe didn't, Connors didn't....
