Please don't revert edits without any explanation in the edit summary. Someone probably thought this edit is needed, and you have to explain him (and any other editor who thinks the same) why his edit isn't appropriate for Wikipedia / the last revision is more appropriate.
About this specific case, you are a part of a discussion going on in the talk page, and when reverting related edits, the least you can do, in addition to explaining in the edit summary, is to continue the discussion.
Hello, please don't label my edits, I'm not acting cheap. I assume that the long time consensus is this: Many journalists, and current and former players consider Federer to be the greatest player of all time.
OK, I understand, that you don't like this version, though it's true, because Federer is considered the greatest by a number of journalists, players, etc. It's not like writing he is the best.
But, if you don't like that sentence, then I don't like yours. You say: Federer is widely considered to be one of the greatest male singles players of all time in tennis. > now this is a gross understatement. Because as opposed to being THE greatest, being one of the greatest players is a fact in Federer's case, and you don't need to weaken it, and put it as a mere opinion.
My suggestion is the following: Federer's achievements place him among the most successful players in tennis history; a number of journalists, present and former players consider him the greatest male singles player of all time. > if you don't like it, I would ask you to consider at least the first part of the sentence.
