Some of you are fucking stupid.
Of course Federer is the more talented one. Nadal is just a physical beast.
BUT fortunately in tennis being a physical beast and playing a knee-bashing brutal styled game won't last for long.
He's 23, he has tendonitis in both of his knees which is pretty much done for since tendonitis will never heal fully.
Not to mention if he wants to be in the top 10 of tennis at all, he can't give up his endless running/wearing out his knees. And why's that? That's because he can't play a slower more controlled game like Roger Federer can.
And why's that? Because Roger Federer is more talented and therefore will be solid and stay at the top forever.
I'm glad there's no chance of being a " LeBron James " in tennis like Nadal is.
This, Federer is the best player in the game right now, and is the greatest of all time. His shot making selection is brilliant, his serve is the best in the game when he wants (Speed isn't everything), and he has the best forehand in the game.
Nadal is just a physical freak. His ability to hit winners when he is in the middle of nowhere is impressive to say the least, and the amount of spin he puts on his groundstrokes makes his opponents hurt physically.
All in all, Federer is the better player. He is better on grass and on hard court (Don't give head to head records, no point). Nadal is the better clay court player, but Fed has reached the semifinals in a major for a long streak which is unreal.
Nadal's injuries will eventually make him deteriorate and the shots that make him great that no one can pull off will begin to diminish because of his knees.
