[quote name='change42081' post='837354' date='Dec 26 2007, 08:02 PM']federer beats nadal at every other surface than clay.
clay is the only surface nadal is competitive to federer on as it complements his style of play.
being quick from edge to edge.

it is a known fact that nadal's playing style is ruining his body. it is too high tempo and high impact.

on the other hand. federer is very efficient, smooth and controlled. his playing style is simply the most efficient yet seen.
i can see him being fit for a long time save some foot issues, which is common to tennis players due to having to cut and change directions at high speeds.

however, the way federer controls play to his whim, makes it that much easier to maintain his body.[/quote]

I agree.
The best american guys in tennis these days may have had a better chance, if Federer wasn't there at the top of his form.
Roger Federer may have 3-4 years left and will then probably, just like Sampras, retire for good.
By that time he may very well have won more than 16 Grand Slam titles.

His game in my view is better than Pete Sampras, when Sampras was at his best - and mind you, I was a [u][b]HUGE[/b][/u] Pete Sampras fan
Federer makes tennis look like the easiest game on earth, and therefore you have to play the game to understand, that tennis is NOT that easy a game.
When Tiger is at his best, golf looks the same way as when Federer plays tennis - like anybody could play scratch golf. But hey, you can't.
This is what makes both Federer and Tiger unique. They are the best there is within their sport.

Did you here what Chris Evert said regarding Greg's tennis prowess and level of fitness in their interview during Greg Norman's tournament?

"He is way too good an athlete to be a golfer". This from his girlfriend, fiance, or whatever.

I almost spit up my beverage!
