Club Legend
I never considered Federer's dominance boring because he was just so good to watch. And also because I like to watch a champion competing against history. And it's not like he won every single match or tournament he played easily. There were always challenges. Some matches he had with the likes of Safin, Nalbandian and Roddick etc were incredible. I think Federer has helped to lift the profile of the sport globally over the last 10 years with the way he plays. When an all time great who plays with some extra flair/style/skill comes along that's what happens...even if results become more predictable. It was the same with Tiger Woods and golf. Style can't be underestimated. It's the difference between Federer and Sampras for example...the artist vs the machine. Sampras I think fits more into what Caesar has said. While some people might not like Federer because of his dominance or any other reason, I think most people just love to watch him play and that's evident by the fact he's pretty much always the crowd favourite wherever he goes. Sampras on the other hand never had that kind of support.
