Default Guys who played both and could beat Federer but never beat Nadal

Only for players who played both. The names that come to my mind are

Richard Gasquet
Stanislas wawrinka

Anyone else.
I'm sure the reverse list would be much longer

Somehow I think your reply would be different if this topic was the other way around.

Fed's played a lot more matches on hard court than Rafa has. (surface for them most likely to both be upset on)

I think the thread proves that Nadal is a better player and tougher opponent than Federer.

i think it's impossible to have a thread where rabid Natards dont have a hissy fit and a few blows at Fetards

No, there is no way to know. All we do know is that there are many pros who could beat Federer but not Nadal. Nadal is a much more solid player.

Oh, really? Let's do it the other way round.

Players who beat Nadal but not Federer:

Youzhny
Ferrer (!!)
Lopez
Johansson
Moya
Kohlschreiber
Gaudio
Andreev
Mayer
Monaco
Srichapan
Verdasco
Cilic
Chela
Garcia-Lopez
Lapentti
Rochus O.
Seppi

Also it took a while for Davydenko, Soderling, Gonzalez, Blake to get their first win against Federer. The same guys cause/used to cause serious trouble to Nadal.

I enjoy coming to the boards everyday to see the enormous amount of threads and posts from butthurt *******s trying to demean Federers accomplishments, attack Federer, and/or try to prove how Nadal is somehow an overall greater player than Federer.

But it does make me wonder how people can become so personally attached to a player that they expend so much time and energy posting here in the belief they are proving a point to anyone outside of their own twisted little minds.

And I think it's hilarious how sensitive some Federer fans are when threads like this are made
