Somehow I think your reply would be different if this topic was the other way around.

yeah, i remember that one. Henman said that the courts of dubai would help his game against Nadal because it was very fast. Nadal breadsticked his ***. lol
No, there is no way to know. All we do know is that there are many pros who could beat Federer but not Nadal. Nadal is a much more solid player.

Oh, really? Let's do it the other way round.
Players who beat Nadal but not Federer:
Youzhny
Ferrer (!!)
Lopez
Johansson
Moya
Kohlschreiber
Gaudio
Andreev
Mayer
Monaco
Srichapan
Verdasco
Cilic
Chela

Also it took a while for Davydenko, Soderling, Gonzalez, Blake to get their first win against Federer. The same guys cause/used to cause serious trouble to Nadal.

I enjoy coming to the boards everyday to see the enormous amount of threads and posts from butthurt *******s trying to demean Federers accomplishments, attack Federer, and/or try to prove how Nadal is somehow an overall greater player than Federer.
But it does make me wonder how people can become so personally attached to a player that they expend so much time and energy posting here in the belief they are proving a point to anyone outside of their own twisted little minds.

I think it's pretty funny too when *******s leap to conclusions from sketchy evidence. I know not everyone is a logician, but LOL.And I think it's hilarious how sensitive some Federer fans are when threads like this are made

Come on now, there are twice as many Federer fans on this board, and twice as many trolls on that side too.

well it probably did help him...first set was 7-6.on a slow court would have been a double breadstick against 31 year old Henman :lol:

They make a thread about anything and everything trivial and meaningless, as long as it might make Federer look better than Nadal on paper. Still reeling after the 2012 Australian Open semis I guess

Karlovic - 2008 Cincy
Montanes - 2010 Portugal
Gulbis - 2010 Rome
Wawrinka - 2009 MC
While some players genuinely trouble Federer and not nadal
Haas
Gasquet

If h2h against these 2 and many others were as important as some imply then why does Federer have more consecutive weeks @#1 by more than double Rafa's total weeks @#1?

Because Federer never runs out of energy. That was obvious last year when Nadal had nothing left after the US Open (except for a comfortable Davis Cup win), while Federer dominating everything, at age 30!

Nadal has poor year-long energy. I'm pointing out a major weakness. Is that an 'excuse' is it? Isn't it just a negative?
cknobman

I would say it has less to do with Nadal having less total energy than Federer and more of Nadals inefficient game style sucks his available energy for the year much faster than Federer. Nadal is a grinder/retriever/run everything down type of player and that takes a toll on him.
