Hall of Famer
Nadal leads 8-5 on hard courts since 2006 though. 2-1 for Roger on grass courts. I'd say Rafa at his best can compete and even better Roger on any given surface.
I would love to see the head to head if nadal was right handed. I always joke to friends that Nadal is Federers kryptonite. You could not have found a more perfect weapon in Nadals forehand to combat fed if you tried.
Thats taking nothing away from Nadal who is a fantastic player and who set the bar for the defensive play that Djokovic and Murray show today. He is the master as returning the unreturnable and putting the oppenent on the back foot.
