Ah, but what is "goodness"? When I think of God's goodness, I think of 
qualities such as love and kindness, i.e. his character, rather than 
skill or power. Federer may be loving and kind, but it is not such 
things which cause him to win at tennis. As a result translation of 
words meaning "good" can be rather difficult.
