If Rafa wins another major this year then he is no.1 it would appear.Absolutely , this win was HUGE. Not only did it give Roger that long sought after 18th slam, but he has a GS final win against Rafa other than Wimbledon . 3-6 is a world away from 2-7, especially considering 4 of Rafa's wins are at RG.
Roger also prevented Rafa from getting the double career grand slam . Rafa would have a more legitimate claim as GOAT with the double career GS even if he didn't win another slam .
Rafa will probably get 1-2 more FO, but he's not likely to match or surpass Roger's 18.

As if nadal wins the French open and federer doesn't make the final then according to Gilbert nadal is goat. That has to be the logic if it was all on that match!
