Rafa - Legend!

Also at age 31 (in the year they turned 31 that is):
Federer 17 slams
Rafa 16 slams
Pete 14 slams and retired that year
Djoker 12 (turns 31 next year)

So despite all the talk of Fed's QF and SF consistency, they're about equal? With the incessant talk of Nadal going out early in slams you'd think it would be majorly lopsided.

Not surprised this thread only got one response.

If we are looking just at the four slams, Nadal and Federer are about even in efficiency over same spans. But that is not the whole picture, and there's the debate.

Nice stats. Another way to look at it:
Grand Slams performance (W - F - S - Q)

Federer 16 - 7 - 6 - 5 (34 = 68% of time reaching QF)
Nadal 16 - 7 - 3 - 6 (32 = 64%)
Sampras 13 - 4 - 5 - 6 (28 = 56%)
Djokovic 12 - 9 - 10 - 7 (38 = 76%)

Amazing that Rafa is tracking the same as Fed with his 16/50 despite losing so much momentum by having to continually return from injury or compete injured.
