You seem to be a very reasonable and sensible person. There is another Anuraug who is a mad Nadal fan, no one can argue with him.
No doubt, Federer is the GOAT of tennis. He continues to win even at the age of 32 yrs like he is still in his 20s. If he plays till 35, he will break the records of Lendl, though Connors titles and career wins record will stand the test of time.

Of the presently active players, Nadal should come as third best behind Nole and Fedex, because Nadal has not won the Tour final even a single time.

Of the presently active "Big 4" players, Fedex shouldn't even be in the count, as he has not won an Olympic Gold even once.

Fede has a Gold in the doubles. Has Nadal won it in doubles? Fede has both a Silver and Gold from the olympics... more successful than Nadal. :)

Nadal has won multiple Davis Cup titles.Has Federer won it?Doubles and mixed doubles don't count in singles competitions except in your wet dreams.

Nobody denies that Agassi called Nadal a 'freak'. Imran Khan once labelled Viv Richards a 'freak'. Brian Lara was called a 'freak' by Michael Atherton. Are you saying all these were abuses?I didn't claim to be Shakespeare but I'm certainly better than your pidgin English.

Ahahaha.. better than my English. You can't claim it yourself. Someone neutral has to judge it.
Even I can claim that my overall intelligence is better than yours.
Anyone with half a cerebral cortex knows that Federer won the FO and Wimby in 2009 due to Rafa's injury and not his wife's pregnancy. Similarly, in 2014 if Rafa and Nole get injured he might have an outside chance of winning something. 2013-Halle, 2014-Dubai.

Hahaha.. Rafa's injury is nothing but good luck brought to Fede by Fede wife's pregnancy. See even this time of pregnancy, Nadal got injured his back and was unable to win the AO.
Fede may have won the FO because Nadal was eliminated in the earlier rounds, but what happened to Nadal in the earlier years when Fede won the Wimbledon beating Nadal.
Nadal is all the time getting injured and always has the excuse of his either his knees/back injuries when ever he loses early. So dont give the same old lame excuse of Nadal's injury.

Even this time of pregnancy, Nadal thrashed Fede in straight sets. In the earlier years (2007 and before) twice Federer beat Nadal in Wimbledon.But he has not beaten Nadal in ANY grand slam tournament since Wimbledon 2007.A pathetic record which wont be erased by any number of pregnancies or lame excuses. Federer is yet to beat Nadal in any GS except Wimbledon. And that too in 2007.Enough said.

In the words of Agassi.... Nadal is a freak from Mallorca. Who wants to play a freak? So I guess, Fede gets freaked out playing the Nadal freak, otherwise Fede has the game to beat Nadal othewise how could he have defeated Nadal 10 times ( which is second most time by any player).

Freak=genius ? say who.. dont show that you are a kindergarten drop out. Get enrolled and start learning from kindergarten again. You dont speak about my English.

Do your homework yourself, bub. Dont ask me to find your answers yourself. Find out the various meanings of freak and decide for yourself, if your brain is able to process so much info.

Fede wife Mirka's pregnancy brings good luck to Fede in the form of injuries to Nadal.... but Fede couldn't capitalize on his luck in the AO. Else Fede would have done dusted Nadal in the semis itself.
