In response to "Federer's won 12 Slams in the time that Nadal's won 10... they are significantly overlapping" by Will Hunting

I call bs on that. For one, Federer started 5 years prior to Nadal...that's a pretty good gap in tennis.

Not to mention, Nadal is 12-2 against Federer on clay.

On any other surface, Federer is 6-5.

Nadal is a great player, don't get me wrong...but his dominance on clay is what gives him that huge edge on Federer.

Of Nadal's 10 grand slam titles...6 of them are French Open.

- 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
