Your the 3rd user name I've encountered that has some sort of universal greatness never really beaten by anyone legend type. All very proud Nadal fans.

Death Master and Leonidas have Leonidas from 300. Theres a statue of him in Greece I suppose to show his valor.

The Dark Knight has the invincible cape crusader who never dies even when a RIP comic is made for him.

And Kenshin has the Battousai Man Slayer whom the Shinsengumi and Saito and Shishio among many others couldnt dispatch him.

Let me guess, you are a Nadal fan ? You have one win over the GOAT, then you are also great.

Henman knows a thing or two more than some folks whose expertise is restricted to watching tennis on the telly. And he is not an attention monger.

Funny how your name is "90's clay" as if you're a fan of classic tennis and then your favorite player is someone who does exactly the opposite of what they did in the 90s.

Rosewall- 23 slam titles, 20 years on or near the top (I call that more successful)

Pancho- 8 years of being the absolute best in the world with no equal (Fed wasn't even the best for 6 years) I call that more successful.

Laver- 2 calendars, 200 titles, 6-7 years of number 1. (all that despite not playing the slams in his prime). I call that more "successful"

I'd hesitate to call him the best ever or the GOAT but Federer definitely is the most successful male tennis player of all time. Even haters can't deny this. He's the only male player with 17 slams or more.

Henman is hardly a neutral in this issue.. The fact is Pete owned Henman 6-1 head to head and he crushed Henman's dreams 3 times at Wimbledon.
Henman had a losing record to Federer 7-6 and led until the last two matches, it is no surprise that Henman rates Federer higher he is trying to find comfort for his own inadequacies.

since the early 90s when the 4 slams became the biggest 4 events and a must go for all players correct he holds the slam record.


but when people say fed is better than, connors, borg, mcenroe, lendl, rosewall, laver on the bases that he won more slams. you cant do that because federer has entered so many more slams than they did.

Because they don't count the pro slams and most of them wouldn't have any decent understanding of tennis history if they rank Ken Rosewall and Pancho Gonzales behind Roy Emerson in a GOAT list, which the Tennis Channel did.

Open era >> Pre open era.

Splits fields and smaller pools lacks the depth and the competiveness. That's why experts/historians only count open era records.

Joko and Murray have always said that Rafa is the best player they've played. Henman is entitled to his opinion though Henman would probably qualify that by saying "1 more slam and Rafa is the best ever". He hasn't even played Rafa and he's buddies with fed so that's why he'd say something supportive about his buddy.

According to the ards, Fed's best tennis was up to 07. In late 06 Moya said That Fed and Nadal were good, but that Sampras was in another league. Rafa is obviously better now than he was in around 06, so Moya's opinion may have changed on Sampras v Nadal, but he thinks Sampras was in a different league to prime Federer.

Moya: "He was a class apart. Federer and Nadal are good, but not in his league,"

Henman is a friend of Federer's. They stay at each other's homes. He can hardly be objective.

Nadal dominates the so called best player who ever lived, what does that make Rafa.

Rafa dominates only because he's a bad match-up for Roger...like Roger was for Roddick, Hewitt and all those guys he won against. Nadal is just lucky to be a bad match-up for pretty much the entire ATP top 100.

Open Era competition trumps pre open era competition. Rosewall's 23 majors (the pro ones with like what 3 rounds of play, are not as worthy as a contemporary slam).

All you people throwing that Rosewall name around, do some research. Rosewall was great, but that 23 number is anything but comparable to open era majors.

You guys are nuts. You think Roddick was 21-2 times worse than Roger? Get real. H2H before 2008 is all that matters to Roger, and H2H after 2007 is all that matters to Rafa. STOP SAYING HIS MAIN RIVAL, THEY ARE 5 YEARS APART.

It's a bit sad the only people you can find to defend Fed's GOAT status these days are his former pigeons (ie Roddick) and his close friends (as someone rightly pointed out, Henman and Fed have been tight for years, and spend time at each other's houses. Not exactly the most objective of commentators. Henman always used to clearly support Federer when he commentated on Nadal vs Federer matches for the BBC. His Fed bias has always been there and is never going away.

What next, will Tommy Haas (another Fed "best friend"), Mirka, Robert and Lynette Federer be rolled out to defend Fed's GOAT honor?:):):):)

The commentators, pros and ex-pros who have no particular horse in this race or allegiance or axe to grind, mostly seem be siding with Rafa these days, or at least acknowledging that he is close to overtaking Fed.

You do realise the fact that people have repeatedly called you out for choosing not to show the pertinanent streaks Nadal heads (ie most consecutive years for winning a grand slam, most outdoor titles won etc) means that this list that you constantly SPAM the board with is easy to dismiss as bias pro-Federer stats, instead of anything meaningful and objective.

If you want this silly stats list to have anymore relevance, you need to start adding Nadal's relevant accomplishments. Otherwise, it's hard to take this seriously.

Wow, that list is truly amazing.



Please don't use this, RNadal fans can handle facts.

Can you remove the most consecutive grand slams played stat, I don't see that as relevant.

There is no GOAT.

Federer's better than Nadal career-wise until Nadal wins more slams and balances his totals in non-FO slams a bit more.

That's reality.

Can you give me a post of Federer's list when he was 27. Only then you can compare Nadal and Federer. Because your list not only is biased but totally ignore's the age difference between the two. Nadal can break and get closed to many of Federer numbers in the near future.

No, because the future is uncertain. And even if we predict the future, no one in their right mind would believe Nadal catches Roger's 302 weeks at #1, 237 straight weeks, 23 straight semifinals, 4 years winning over 90+ percentage, or 3 years reaching all 4 slam finals.
