I can only see Federer winning it anytime soon if Nadal gets injured before/during the tournament".....Hearts midfielder Laryea Kingston insists he can fulfil all his dreams at Tynecastle - by winning the SPL and a European trophy.
The Ghanaian is certain the Jambos will soon become a major power at home and abroad"

He has the joint second largest haul of grand slam titles (12 alongside Roy Emerson) and is just two behind Pete Sampras.
IMO Federer is a tennis great already and when he has retired he will be remembered as one of the best players of all time even if he never manages to win the French. However, if he does ever manage to win the French Open, which I think is unlikely with Nadal around, I would regard Roger Federer as the greatest player of all time. Although I would agree with you that you cannot say he is the greatest of all time unless he wins all 4 Grand Slams.
Borg, McEnroe, Lendl, Connors, Becker, Edberg and Sampras never managed to win all 4 slams but most people would regard them as tennis greats.

The other four are Fred Perry, Don Budge, Rod Laver and Roy Emerson.
As I said before, I would completely agree that you cannot be considered the greatest player of all time unless you win all four Slams but I think Roger Federer is a tennis great, considering how many grand slams he has won and how many tournaments overall he has got. He has won 54 career singles titles, which is just 10 behind Sampras.
It is also got to be understood that he is failing to win his last remaining grand slam because he keeps meeting Rafa Nadal in the final, who is possibly the greatest clay court player of all time.

It will take a bigger effort from him to win Wimbledon than it took to win the French Open but I think he's more than capable of doing it.
