Tom is not better than Mike in sports. This sounds like you are correcting someone. Perhaps that person said that Tom is so much better than Mike, and you say "No, Tom is not better than Mike in sports." Or, you are giving a list of comparisons between Mike and Tom. Tom is better that Mike at mathematics, but he is not better than Mike at sports."
