Not considering Federer has played what? like 17 FO? Thats like 3,6 wins per tournament
Nadal has 66 wins in 10 years.. 6,6 wins per tournament..


Nadal has 39 wins in wimbledon in 10 tournament which means 3,9 wins per tournament.. better career statics than Federer at FO despite having horrible results in 2012-2014... and Im sure nadal is nowhere near top 3 grasscourt players

Nadal 39 wins at Wimbledon is far less than Federer 61 wins at RG.

Let's wait and see if Nadal catch Roger's equal number of wins in the future.

Still he has better average ..

You can win 100 matches at any particular slam venue playing 100 editions.. but it will be due more to longevity than a ridiculous high amount of matches won per tournament

The 61 matches of RG of roger are mostly a result of his longevity. I wouldnt put it close to Borg achieving 6 RG..

Who cares about the Number? 1 RG vs 6 RG...

Roger played far more times RG than Borg did...

That was the truth till the later part of Rafa's career.

Not just TMF, several past tennis greats like Laver, Hewitt have called Rafa a 'Clay Specialist'.

Clay specialist surely but that doesn't mean Nadal "is not good" on hardcourt.

The OP misquoted my post and it was clearly taken out of context.

out of context probably but the thread was deleted anyway, but if i remember correctly it was last year when discussing about Nadal not making it far in some Master 1000 on hardcourt while Federer always did at this peak

Still 3 grand slams on hardcourt > 1 on clay
