Federer has won a record six tournaments atleast five times each and on different surfaces. Federer is only man to reach each major atleast five times and is the only player to have reached all masters final in every surface. Plus he has reached the year-end ATP championship seven times winning it six times. so federer has had success on all surfaces, be it clay, grass, outdoor hard or indoor hard. Federer is truly a complete and all-court player while nadal records are restricted to clay surface only. Federer has created unprecedented number of records that will not be broken. For example, can you imagine anyone breaking his record of reaching semifinals or better of 23 consecutive grandslams. I don't think so. and federer tennis career is not done yet. He continues to give stiff competition to players and wins tournaments even though he is not in his prime.

But if you're so confident why do you run away when Pai challenged you to define Federer's so called 'prime'??Looks like coincidentally his 'prime' ended when Rafa started walloping him,and then his 'prime' (or 'peak' as you like to call it)surfaced again in 09,then disappeared again, and about a month ago he was 'red hot' again in your own words,and now again he is past his 'prime'.Very convenient 'prime' and 'peak' dont you agree?

Each time you argue,you just tie yourself in more knots.Okay...to take your own arguments-Nadal has reached every Masters final except Cincinnati.He has the best win percentage in ATP masters history.Not to mention the highest number of trophies.All this at a way younger age than Federer.Nadal has won every slam and completed his career slam before Federer could manage it.Plus he's also lost 3 Wimbledon,1 US Open and 1 Aus Open final.So going by your own standards,Nadal has achieved success on all surfaces be it clay,grass or hard.Nadal is truly a complete and all court player
every tennis fan knows that the most difficult slam to win is US open. that federer won it 5 times in a row and lost the 6th time in finals, is a record that will never be beaten. this is the greatest streak in tennis. also the 23 consecutive slam semi-finals. very very dominating player till nadal found a way to crush him. now nadal is being crushed by djokovich, so what goes round comes round.

Every tennis fan knows that it's the French Open which is the most difficult slam to win.And that to win the French and Wimbledon in the same year is the pinnacle because it calls for going from totally different surfaces all in the span of about a month.That's what eveyr tennis fan knows well.

dude every surface has its pros and cons. playing on hard cout is much more easier then playing on grass or clay. there is no variation on speed, bounce etc. on hard compared to wibeldon and french. also there is no comparing who is the best player around. every player has shown how best they are at favorite court.

At the outset let me say without being offensive ,at the same time putting on record ,Fedderer is one of the best ever .But the fact is during 2005-2008 or around that there was no player who was any where near the great man .In fact he was stream rol ling every one and was a time when Tennis lost its charm to some extent .In fact it is only in the last 4 years we had seen a number of winners in slams . Nadal too a great palyer and is definately my favarate , is just single line player and I do wish he comes out with aces in right time and also plays at net a bit more . Ususally when you keep winning you do not change the strategy.

u are absolutely right on ur point. but i guess this discussion was about the surface and not the best player. As i said tennis is the only game where different surfaces are used to play. so in that term every player has got his/her favourate surface. and also when when federer was streamrolling in 2005-2008 he was finding difficult to win on clay courts. i dont have any favourate player i enjoy tennis as a game.

Both of you are right.Tennis has become fun and ultra competitive again with the rise of Nadal and Djokovic.Except for a few retarded fans of Federer here who resort to abusing and lying just to get their way,pretty much every true tennis fan agrees that tennis is more fun now after Nadal demolished Federer and then Djoko started demolishing Nadal.Now that Nadal has got back to winning ways,its set to only get better.

I don't think you can say its a fact that during 2005-2008 there was no great player. its like saying nadal has no competition on clay that's why he is steamrolling every single french open title. another example would be Novak's run last year. he steam rolled every tennis players making it look like there was no competition but the competition was there, novak just rose above the competition and won 3 out 4 slams just like federer did during his era. If novak continues to win more this year, it will look like the same as if there was no competition. you just have to rise above competition and show you are the best out there.

even Rafael Nadal would disagree with your statement stating that hardcourt is easier than clay or grass. There is less stress on the knees when it comes to clay. you can slide on clay but not hard. The worst surface for players is the hard. It takes a toll on your knees. why do you think nadal rested his knees for a month after playing the austrailian open and a 6-hour marathon final. if it was that easy to win on hard, nadal would have more titles on hard but he hasn't.

If it were that easy to win on clay,Federer would have moer titles on clay,that too with a 5 year seniority to Nadal but he hasn't.More foot in the mouth for Mithu baby.
Re: fact

hard court itself is tough to play since it takes a toll on your knees. even nadal agrees on this statement. us open is the hardest probably because not only its played on hard courts but its the last grand slam when tennis players are already getting tired of playing so many tournaments. and to win it five times out of six is quite a feat by federer. and federer met nadal 14 times on clay, nadal's favorite surface. nadal hasn't come across federer that many times on outdoor hard, grass or indoor hard courts. so nadal didn't really find a way to crush federer on all surfaces. he was just more succesfull on clay against federer since they had the most meetings on clay.
Re: Re: fact

Clay is the toughest to play on,just sliding around isn't all that's needed on clay Mithu baby.Ask Sampras,McEnroe,Becker,Edberg,or Federer himself.Your statement just reflects your ignorance.Hard court is tough on Nadal because of his style of play,other players dont complain about hard courts damaging their knees.Variable bounce,slower nature of the surface,and need for variation in the game and patience with grounstrokes make clay the toughest to play on.Grass is tough too.That's why doing a Wimbledon-French double is surely the pinnacle.Something the GOAT Bjorn Borg did with ease,and Nadal has already done twice.Staggering.
