Message: [QUOTE="Matrim55, post: 2548565, member: 3376"] This sells Nadal so, so far short. Dude is easily the best clay court player of all-time and has 6 titles across Australia/Wimbledon/US Open despite playing in the era of Federer and Djokovic. Remove one of those two guys and he's probably at 9 or 10 non-French Open titles. Conversely, remove Nadal and Federer probably has 3 French Open titles himself. BTW if Federer retired when he was 26 it would have been at the end of a run in which he'd won 13 majors over the previous 6 years, and had made it to at least the semifinals of 18 consecutive majors. From 2005-2008 he was 101-7 in majors. Add in 2009, when he was 27, and he jumps up to 127-9 with a career grand slam and the most incredible consistency (he made it to at least the semifinals of every major from 2004 Wimbledon to the 2010 French Open) ever seen in the sport. He's the GOAT, and the only one who's close is Nadal. [/QUOTE]
