Big 3 and surfaces

A lot is said about big three and how the different levels across different surfaces should tell a big history about greatness, but I think the distribution is often overlooked. You see:
Federer:
- Grass: 8
- HC: 11
- Clay: 1
Nadal:
- Grass: 2
- HC: 6
- Clay: 14
Djokovic:
- Grass: 7
- HC: 12
- Clay: 2
Nadal is often diminished with arguments that his a one trick pony, but until Djokovic win Wimbledon this year, they were tied in second best and worst surface success and USO is around the corner. We could see it tied up again. Federer has the most intriguing distribution, cause he’s pretty consistent among grass and hc, but his clay record suffered a lot.

Ya Federer's 1 clay slam is so evenly distributed.

Yeah, I’m not saying otherwise. He has the most homogeneous distribution between HC and Grass, but his overall balance is made terrible because of clay. Granted he played unbreakable versions of Nadal at RG, but that’s part of sport.
