we have to remember that federer and nadal are five years apart...it is only natural that nadal has the edge now. let us wait and see if nadal is dominating his 22-year old rivals when he is 27 years old

[dbadmus]

whats even amazing with Fed is that Sampras won all his majors in a 13 year span, While Fed is about to do it in a 7 year span.

Oh and by the way thanks to that pesky Nadal he's lost 3 at French Open Finals.

I only watch tennis because of Federer.

too many if's in that sentence.....i dont give a shit if nadal owns a 3000-0 record against federer, federer has 15 majors and nadal has 6, doesnt matter how good you are against one person but rather be consistant with everyone. his peer's, past legends, AND nadal himself said he was the best....period!!! doesnt matter what we say, theyre opinion is what counts. nadal used up his body to just take the #1 ranking off of federer for less than a year....deserving but fed's back on top AGAIN!!!

@thaman91

Federer is only one week behind Sampras in the weeks of Nr1 ranking

[ruffrider285]

well have those ppl you just mentioned said federer is the greatest. i have nothing further to tell you...like theman said "wait when nadal is 27(if hes even playing then)and see how he plays against the 22 year olds...all im saying

lendl played 1978 until 1994. borg, villas, connors, mcenroe, becker, wilander, edberg, cash, agassi, sampras, courier, stich, chang, etc= grand slam champions. lendl made it to 19 slam finals won 8 lost 11. federer had a easy life the sook cried because he cant beat nadal. federer is not the greatest because you must dominate your main rival. federer would have not won all these slams if he was playing in lendls era. nadal owns karate champion federer 13 to 7 that is a big margin!

[njikwa]

so all of a sudden you are saying what you feel will happen.Even if Nadal owns him 25 to 10, if he has the most number of grandslams he is still the greatest of all time.

[themios72]

so are you saying when federer retires and nadal own him 25 to 10 that federer will be still called the greatest of all time?

[njikwa]

nobody gives a damn about ifs or buts, if federer had a good back he will have beaten nadal at wimbledon last year and at australia this year, sonobody looks at head to head, Federer has won the most grandslams in history than gay looking nadal.

[themios72]

miami vice look alike federer was in a state of shock at the australian open he cried because he cant beat nadal. the sook federer was lucky nadal was injured because he would have been stuck on 13 slams. nadal owns federer 13 to 7 and 5 to 2 in slams nadal will get back his number one. what about federer at wimbledon never before in the history of tennis i saw a player look like a karate fighter? he looked like don johnston miami vice hes a desrcase to the sport arogant prick!

[themios72]

if it wasn't for nadals injury miami vice karate looking federer would have been stuck on 13 slams. nadal was going to win all 4. nadal owns federer 13 to 7. if federer is the greatest nadal owns the greatest 5 to 2 in slam head to head.
