Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal : Gods of Tennis.

That brings us to the question that is unanswerable to a few people, but fairly easily answerable to most others one way or another. Which one of them is better? Statistics say Rafa owns Federer based on head to head. Tournament records say Federer is close to being the greatest ever. Of late, especially after the Aussie open finals, it was pretty evident that maybe it is time for people to admit that Nadal is well and truly the king. On the other hand, Federer is playing some of the most patchy tennis of his life. On some days and off the other, Unforced errors like never before in his career. People say he is in bad form. But as Murray pointed out- He has reached 3 grand slam finals in a row and won one of them, and you say he is in bad form? Such is the high standards he has set. These two men have given us some of the greatest tennis matches we have ever seen. Surely there is more to come this year. Will Federer win his first one at Roland Garos? Or Will Nadal beat the king of grass on grass? Who's going to have the final say in the US Open? These questions will be answered in a few months. The other question is the tricky one. My answer- Nadal may beat Federer, but he can never be Federer.
