Roger Federer completes career Grand Slam: Is he the best ever?

Roger Federer completed a career Grand Slam by beating Robin Soderling and winning his first French Open title on Sunday, 6-1, 7-6 (1), 6-4.
“It’s maybe my greatest victory, or certainly the one that removes the most pressure off my shoulders,” Federer said. “I think that now and until the end of my career, I can really play with my mind at peace, and no longer hear that I’ve never won Roland Garros.”
With the victory Federer tied Pete Sampras with a record 14 major titles.
“Now the question is: Am I the greatest of all time?” Federer said. “We don’t know, but I definitely have many things going for me because I’ve finally won all four Grand Slams, and I’m particularly happy reaching Pete’s 14.”
If he would have beaten Rafael Nadal to win the French Open I’d say Federer is the best ever, but Robin Soderling is a weak opponent. So is he the best ever? Not quite.
