Roger Federer is NOT human

[ploto]

Federer beat Nadal the last time they played- and it was on clay.

In order to be the GOAT you have to display staying power and longevity. Nadal still has a lot to prove.

Yeah after getting beat 5 straight times by Nadal. And Federer is 2-5 against Nadal in Grand Slam finals.

How can you possibly be up for GOAT consideration when you are so thoroughly owned by another compe or?

How can Sampras be up for GOAT when he never won a French Open?

Who knows- maybe in five or six years, Nadal can be considered the greatest of all time, but he has not played enough or won enough tournaments to be in consideration.

Federer has shown consistency which counts for alot. He has made 20 consecutive Grand Slam semifinals.

Age also matters. Nadal is younger and has beaten an older Federer. Match the 23 year old Roger with the 23 year old Nadal and it might be different.

I don't know if Federer is the greatest of all-time. I'm too young to have watched Rod Laver but many still consider him the greatest.

You guys can keep saying Nadal is better than Federer. The record does show that. I hope you guys realize that Federer is almost 5 years older than Nadal and has passed his prime. Nadal is in his prime right now. And yet Federer keeps on winning and more importantly staying healthy. He turns 28 in August. He still has a couple of great years in him. Dude could retire with 20 grand slams. Unbelievable if he can pull that off.

You're a ra if you think Nadal is better than Federer.

Outside the French, Fed has a 2 vs 2 h2h against nadal, both losses being 5 setters. I do agree that he has a mental block againts nadal - thats what happens when you match up badly with another player and he keeps beating you.

That being sad, Federer is absolutely the better player. Nadal, if he's lucky, might claim the Clay GOAT le, federer is aiming for the All-time Greatest.
