I have always thought Federer was thee best and most fantastic player. Nadal even shed a tear after the victorious Roger Federer took the title!

It is hard to judge who is better than the other since both of them have their respective superiorities. Federer has won many grand slam titles and has retained the No. 1 position for a consecutive four years in the past which has been considered to be a fantastic achievement. Nadal is still young and he has more chances to win many championships in the future. He is the best player who is nearly impossible to be defeated on the clay court. It's not until both of them have retired that we can judge who is better.

Well, both are really talented and have beat each other consistently. I think we really can't demarcate between them. But Roger is a bit better than Nadal in several aspects...

It's hard to say, I think they are very close in talent.... they both can pull off amazing shots and they both have their strengths. It wasn't even a grand slam that Federer beat Nadal in so there's nothing to cheer about yet. Federer has yet to beat Nadal in the French and for most that is where the argument lies. Head to head Nadal has done better than Federer and some base their arguments on that. But for me Federer is better just because he's been better longer and won more grand slams.. but Nadal is still young and this argument will go on until they are both retired.

Fedex is no doubt one of the best players in the tennis world but all greatness will eventually fall. Humans are not robots. We get old and we will lose out. Right now, even though Nadal gets the better of Fedex most of the time, we shouldn't be surprise. It's not who's better who. Each of them is different. It's just that Nadal is getting Better whereas Fedex is getting Older. Nevertheless, we all should be grateful to be able to see both of them play. They are great players.
