My personal thoughts about topic...
If its 20 Nadal and 20 Fed on the end, and if Nadal win for example one more RG, and one more one other slam, no matter which one:
- there wont be overall goat. Fed would have better overall resume (weeks, ye1, wtf, better distribution...), but Nadal would have some cards in sleeve as h2h
- edge would be on Fed, and most tennis fans (dont tell me) and experts would make him slightly better, but there would always be shadow, because 20=20, and slam count matters most/only, and its tie
- Exception: if Nadal wins two slams on lets say AO and W, then its real tie between him and Fed
If its 21 Nadal and 20 Fed on the end, and if Nadal win two or more in RG:
- Nadal will be overall goat, slam count matters most/only, remember?
- When on tv they show slam count it will be written: Nadal 21, Federer 20. And this stands for casual tennis viewers...
- But, among hard core tennis fans, tennis analysts, in general, there would be quite big shadow because of holes in his resume (not only slam distribution, yes that is a little hole to me) we all know which are, and there are ones...
If its 22 Nadal and 20 Fed on the end:
- no doubt who is the greatest...
