Roger Federer no doubt as the greatest. I think there is little room for dispute there, though some discussion is interesting. I think Djokovic may prove to becoming one of the best - if he is able to replicate his career statistics. He had an unparalleled year last season, winning the greatest majority of the ATP Masters 1000 Series. For those he did lose, I personally think he was just lethargic and weary from all the tournament he had to participate in conjunction with that massive winning streak he had to maintain, before losing it to Federer. By the looks of it, Djokovic may be able and looks well enough to obtain a Calendar Grand Slam and so far as, a Golden Slam (including the Olympic Gold Medal).
In acknowledging all that, Federer's achievements are unparalleled and the mere fact that he still poses a threat to those in their peak (Murray, Nadal and Djokovic) is a testament to his legacy and ability. If you examine his timeline in the majors in recent years following his peak, the worst result is the Quarter Finals. That's pretty damn good for a 30 year old whose peak has gone by. Just saying.
As with Nadal, despite my neutral thoughts on him (I don't hate or like him), he is arguably the greatest clay-court player. I have a feeling that Nadal will not lose another consecutive win at the French or even Monte-Carlo to Djokovic. Popular opinion obviously says Djokovic, but there may be chance that he won't even graze Nadal. That said, if Djokovic knocks out Nadal in the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters Finals, Federer can rise to #2 and take Nadal's position!
