Well against Roger in the finals. If you count how many times he's attempted and been eliminated before reaching the finals, then that skews your stats. Nadal isn't a born grass player, he does well for a clay transitioning to grass, but I can see some lower ranked players who could take Nadal out at wimby. I can't say the same for Roger.

I quoted that sentence because it was wrong, Federer has won 2 out of 3 on grass (06.07), not nadal, as the article falesly states.

But he's 1-2 in finals on grass, not 2-1.

Then, good catch

Sorry, didn't mean to come off snarky. Just wanna be as accurate as possible. Hate it when people favor one player or thing and bend certain stats towards their favorite.
