Federer's won 12 Slams in the time that Nadal's won 10... they are significantly overlapping

and more often than not, Nadal beats Federer.

And given that Nadal's beaten Federer on every Grand Slam surface whereas the inverse is not true....this is like saying Barry Bonds and Griffey Jr are not contemporaries becuase Barry started in 86 and Junior in 89.

  - I'll give you best clay court player ever...but see Dano's post above for why I still think Federer is the better all around player. - Jim Jun 6, 10:34 1
    - I'll grant that, which I think has drastically faded in the past 4 years. - Will Hunting Jun 6, 10:40
