Federer vs Nadal total number of titles on grass, hardourt, clay and carpet

[FedererGlides]

Federer has 12 grasscourt titles(including 7 Wimbledon titles). Nadal has 3 grass court titles(2 Wimbledon titles).

Federer has 52 hardcourt titles(including 9 hardcourt slams, 15 master series hardcourt titles and 6 year end titles and ). Nadal has 11 hardcourt titles(including 2 hardcourt slams, 5 masters series hardcourt titles and 0 year end titles).

Federer has two carpet titles. Nadal has zero carpet titles.

Nadal has 36 claycourt titles(including 7 French Open titles and 16 masters series claycourt titles). Federer has 10 claycourt titles(including one French open title and 6 masters series claycourt titles).

I just wish there were more grasscourt tournaments to give Federer the chance to win 50+ grasscourt titles.

If Rafa were a better overall player than Roger then he would have more slams and masters titles. As he stands to my eye, Rafa is the greatest clay court player ever, standing just ahead of Borg though not by much. Rafa always plays Roger tough and arguably presents Roger certain match up problems that certain detractors will say Roger should have figure out thus establishing Rafa's overall general superiority. But you've got to realize that Rafa does not hit through the ball a great deal of the time when he's scrambling on his backhand.

Instead he often pokes it back with some seriously ugly, 2.5-looking shots in which his racket actually stops moving forward well before it ever crosses his chest and really, it never gets anywhere near/above his off-hand shoulder--so, he does a great deal of bunting, which is what pushers do, and this works for him but will always be closely allied with his defensive scrambling abilities until he starts taking more offensive risk. So, in essence Rafa is daring everyone to try to hit through him because A. he can counter punch like nobody's business, and B. he can defend even better.

It's obvious that he grew up pushing aggressively with very heavy very safe topspin and has feasted on serving up unattackable balls ever since childhood, but that shtick only works as long as he can back it up by playing tremendous defense because his form of offense is offensive counterpunching and he is arguably more comfortable bleeding pace off of balls than injecting them with it unless the ball is sitting up just nicely for him to take a helicopter-rip at it. It's very interesting his game style but it's also extremely taxing physically, and I've tried to play his style before but failed due to not being in the kind of shape that Rafa is in.

There is a buddy of mine who is one of the local 3.5s here in Seattle who mimics Rafa's game quite well but he is built like a semi-pro soccer player and is in such phenomenal shape that he can pull off bombarding opponents with extremely heavy topspin forehands that he runs around his backhand in order to hit but the instant he is put on defense he throws up a lob...it's kind of funny watching him during a point go from being the aggressive fire breathing topspin bully to the sheepish lobbing bunt-master from one stroke to the next.
