To your questions:
1. I was never trying to make a complete comparison and there might be a complete one but it won't be a perfect one. Roger and Rafael both have their own chapters in tennis history.
2. Rafael's forehand is not his alone. Many players use the buggy forehand from time to time. Pete used it a lot to hit a running forehand DTL or running approach forehand. Roger used it sometime to make a short crosscourt forehand to Rafael's backhand. And the buggy forehand is not the only forehand from Rafael. He uses it a lot because he is lefty and he needs to hit short angle crosscourt forehand more than righty players.
3. I am glad we do agree with each other on some points. The point I tried to make was Rafael is not only a bad matchup for Roger, against the field he has a great record as well. Whether he will keep it up, who knows.

1. There was a guy who posted some kind of tennis player rating system on these boards. I looked at it a couple of days ago, I don't know exactly when it was posted. I thought his analysis was pretty good. Yours is incomplete.
2. Nadals forehand is great. But, it is his and his alone. Implying that others will copy his forehand is silly. Of course they will. But, very few people have the body, mind, training and spirit of Rafa. Its not his forehand that makes him great. Its HIM and all of his components.
3.Rafa is awesome no one will dispute that. But, give this some time before you make comparisons that imply that his run he is involved in at the present is greater than what Fed has achieved.
