He may be 4 slams behind Roger but...
-Rafa's already won more Masters' events than Fed.
-Rafa has a SIGNIFICANTLY better record against Novak and Murray (the two toughest players of their eras) than Fed. VERY compelling.
-Rafa has a 83.7% lifetime winning percentage, Fed has a 81.3%
-Rafa is 21-10 against Roger...21-10. THIS IS THE MOST COMPELLING ARGUMENT OF THEM ALL ROGER FANS! Stop minimizing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Rafa has won THREE Davis Cup titles where's he'd been a huge factor.
-Rafa has been better on his worst surface than Roger has been on his (Roger has lost to Rafa in FOUR French finals and a semi)
-Rafa has won a Gold Medal. Roger has not been able to do it
-RAFA IS 8-2 against Roger in Grand Slams...EIGHT AND TWO
-Rafa has won a HIGHER percentage of the tournaments he's entered than Roger.
-Rafa has won 88.1 % his matches in Grand Slam events. Roger has won 86.3%. That is not an insignificant difference.
Okay...people will point to Roger's consecutive semis in Grand Slams, year end titles and longer time at #1 in the world. These are all compelling things. But, the reality is that Rafa is 4 years and 9 months younger than Roger. If he stays healthy for even another year or two, let alone 3 or 4...he will unquestionably surpass Roger.
But...even as it stands RIGHT NOW...a very compelling argument can be made that Rafa is the greatest of all time...RIGHT NOW!
