It’s all about winning and he has only won one. If Nadal was one dimensional, Federer should’ve figured him out by now.

The head to head between Nadal and Federer is 10-4. Nadal vs Federer at the Aussies is 3-1. So you can’t really say it’s clay - Nadal is also better on hard court.

Nadal is winning the next French Open. He’s my favourite to win the Aussies as well.

Titles by surface for the Big 3:

Hardcourt:

Fed - 70
Novak - 55
Nadal - 21

Clay:

Fed - 11
Novak - 15
Nadal - 59

Grass:

Fed - 19
Novak - 6
Nadal - 4

Where is Nadal doing the majority of his work?

What's his record at majors against Fed and Novak off clay?

Nadal is a legend but his primary surface is clay and there's no shame in that but it's a different game than on standard hard courts or grass.

ehh...it's the same for Rafa on HC and grass as it is for Fed and Novak on clay....he's been putting in work on hard courts (Rafa that is)...and even on grass too (minus that 2012-2017 blip) but there's NO SHAME in losing to superior players like Novak and Roger on grass and hard courts when he advances deep at Wimbledon or at the Australian Open. Nadal would have like 5-6 wimbledon titles had he not ran into a RED HOT Novak and Fed when he faced them on grass.

I agree but ol' boy is trying to make it out like Nadal beasts everyone on all surfaces equally.

Fed and Novak would both have a bunch of FOs if Nadal didn't exist.

Pointless debate. All 3 are superior to everyone else on any surface. But Clay Nadal is the best version of any athlete at any particular event.

As fans we're so spoiled

Forgot to mention off this that the GOAT won 15 Grand Slams from 2003-09; a seven season span.

Ten straight GS finals, then eight straight GS finals. Woulda been 19 straight GS Finals if not for Novak at the 2008 Aussie.

23 consecutive GS semifinals appearances (2004 Wimbledon to the 2010 AO) and 36 straight quarters.

It's been so long since Fed's prime that people have forgotten how godly he was at his peak. @MillionMills we still got this.

Who did he beat in those finals, remind us again please

"Given these metrics, the final rankings, in terms of prestige, would look like this:

1. Wimbledon
2. U.S. Open
3. French Open
4. Australian Open"
