head to head doesn't say shit. Krajicek had a positive head to head against Sampras. Does that make him the better player? I don't think so. Nadal's game doesn't suit Roger because he is used to winning points fast and Rafa brings them all back which makes him nervous. Can Rafa win more Grand slams then Roger? Sure but i hope not. No matter what, they are both great but Roger will be the best ever just for sheer technique. Rafa is mostly power.
nadals got grt backhand, one of the best out there. Nadal leads 14-7 H2H, no doubt Nadal is better on clay, Federer on hardcourt, on grass not so sure, felt like in 2007 nadal should of won it but choked, then in 2008 could of won in 3 but choked n won in an amazing final, Nadal could potentially overtake the 16 Fed now has
@Rafathaman94 All players experience the slump. Sickness and Injury of Roger. Injury of wrist of Davydenko. Injury of wrist of Del potro. Djokovic's allergy. nalvadian's injury. Only Nadal.makes an excuse for injury
@Rafathaman94 Oh he definitely has. I mean Rafa is a great player. The French Open is like his playground. Having said that I still think Soderling choked in the final. He didn't play that type of tennis when he beat Federer.
@PdishmonkeyJJ land of the free? they've admitted slavery to money loong time ago man :P so i think you were wrong about that point in particular :P other than that, fuck america :)
I'm already tired of this kiddy crap. Madrid Masters, who gives a shit. Bring on the French Open. I want to see these 2 guys in the Final. I want to see epic play for hours on end. I really hope they both make it to the end. Federer was half awake in the Australian Open Final, he nearly yawned all the way to the trophy. Nadal can at least wake him up, so they can both bring out the fire.
@AnimeIntroStyles4 stop makin excuses for federer, he's shit. besides: he's so overrated, and frankly: he should've never competed with a spanish, el matadores never lose a battle :)
@ferrovic Rafa loses all the time. He didn't win a tournament for a year until clay season came around. Just the Truth. Federer's best player of all time. Every sports commentator agrees so. Rafa has long way to go. Lonnnng wayyyy.
@AnimeIntroStyles4 Nadal has highest win % rate than any other tennis player ever in ATP history (over ALL surfaces). Look it up on ATP website. Im not arguing with your opinion. I'm not saying you are wrong. But maybe Nadal deserves more respect. He had 6 GS titles before Federer had 1!. I like both players. Just Nadal a bit more.
That is why the rank does not represent who is best player in the world but only who has won more rank points per year (by matches)!! It's really not important!!
The rank system is silly..... we can have a player as No1 that has hardly won any titles at all. Say Tsonga (25 yrs of age); he has won 5 titles in his career (1 Master Series & 4 small ATP titles). How does he compare to 23 yrs old champion Nadal? or to Federer? He compares badly..... they seem gigantic in comparison. BUT Tsonga could be rank No1 or No2!!
Only two top men in tennis!! ONLY two these two can be the real No1 and No1! The rank is really unimportant because their record says who they are AND the fact that they are always reaching last matches wherever they go and keep on the top ranks for years..... these guys don't need a rank number to show who they are!!

@mattcheetos Feel free to like him as much as you want. I'm curious to see how that win% holds up after he's played as much tennis as Federer has.
