To even it up, I would have a doubles match in each sport.
Federer & Selby vs Nadal & O'Sullivan.
Much better idea that.

I am a far nicer and greater human being than Ronnie O'Sullivan. And I am more talented than him also at everything other than snooker. That wouldn't be hard though....

Love to Ronald if he ever reads the comments on here.
Ronald would actually tell you he is not worthy to be mentioned in the same breath as Federer.
Ronald is equivalent to Gustavo Kuerten.

I must agree with Vodka. Federer seems to be possessed of a humility which O'Sullivan cannot muster.

If Ronnie can't be compared to Federer, how come he constantly is compared to Federer?

Actually, I think Steve Davis and Mark Selby were the first ones to compare Ronnie with Federer...

I don't care what Davis/Selby said. O"Sullivan is at least 2 levels below Federer...

I always forget the snooker hipsters know more about snooker than greats like Davis, Reardon, Hendry... Ronnie’s a terrible snooker player in the eyes of the hipsters.

No because you say he's an inferior sportsmen. I don't see him as inferior.

You can draw comparisons because tennis is a much more physically demanding sport, so age differences are probably about right.
I would draw comparisons with Phil Taylor personally who time and time again provoked speculation of his demise only to come out and start winning again, he often went away and made changes to keep him competitive.
I'm pretty sure Ronnie follows darts so must've been inspired by this to some degree.

Ronnie's one of a kind. No comparison. Snooker's also a one of a kind sport.

It's true actually is very unusual. A back room pub game made good.

I've been reading these comments and I have to say, although right now I like snooker more than tennis, what I'm watching here is two different sides: one is the O'Sullivan fanboys (don't get me wrong, I like O'Sullivan) who hate tennis, and the other is the "haters" (the ones who like O'Sullivan the least) who like tennis. Sorry for being rude (If I am being it) but to be honest, I can't compare the two players because of age, the commitment and of course the different sports. The first is because O'Sullivan like it was said here, is 6 years older than Federer. The second is that Federer is more committed than O'Sullivan when it comes to the sport they play (the professional part). The third thing is that tennis is a more physical sport, and snooker is more psychological (all those things already mentioned here in this topic). The only thing they have in common, really, is the natural talent, because they were both born to play the sports they love. Sorry for the long message everyone

Of course, when I wanted to say fanboys, I didn't mean it in an insulting way, and the haters part, is actually not really hating the player, is more the person itself

He has achieved more in a much more global sport than O'Sullivan.
There is far too much premature talk about O'Sullivan being the 'greatest player ever'.
You need to win the titles that matter to put that issue out of doubt.
Until O'Sullivan has won at least 8 world titles there is still legitimate debate.
Snookeren hates tennis too much to be taken seriously.
Honestly, how can anyone give enough of a buck about this piss-silly debate to reply as seriously as you have?
Go for a walk.

Holden, relax. Enjoy the Easter weekend. Bring your dog for a walk. Anything but reducing yourself to worrying about cockerel like this.
