  • Nadal = World #1

    Federer = GOAT

  • They have different styles so you can't really compare them

  • No doubt about it!

  • I LOVE ROGER!!!

    Did you join his website forum??? Because you should, it's a lot of fun :)

  • Stop judging the players based only on pathetic ATP rankings. Just because Nadal is playing better tennis now does'nt make Federer a worse tennis player because he has played better tennis than Nadal before and can still do the same. Federer plays skillful and classy tennis which Nadal can never match.

  • I´m not talking about quality tennis or does Roger has more titles. I´m just saying that Nadal is a better player at the moment.. The last season was superb for Rafa. How many titles won Roger the last year ? Of course Roger keeps playing wonderful tenis, no doubt .But the reality is...

    1. RAFAELNADAL 14.260 (absolutely the best?

    2. ROGER FEDERER 11.000 (second best ?

    3. NOVAK DJOKOVIC 9.010 (third best)

    etc.etc....

  • ATP rankings are based on statistics and a bunch of numbers. Roger Federer may have gone down a ranking but he still plays quality tennis like a champion, which Nadal cannot even match at times. Federer is a tennis legend who has won more titles than Nadal. He is the best in my eyes.

  • but he is not number 1 at the moment.

  • The number 1 player ranked in the ATP is the best. No question about it.

  • Even though I want Federer to win.. why do you guys rate this guy down because you disagree. The thumb down is used if the guy is being an ass or some other shit like that.. but common' use the thumb down for a good reason.
