Nads head-to-head against Fed 16-8; is hard to defend Fed goat.

Of course, each major title the Spaniard annexes adds fuel to the
belief that we should look beyond the claims for clay-court supremacy
and consider that, as John McEnroe suggested last year: “There is an
argument that Rafael Nadal may be the greatest player ever,
eventually. Even possibly now.”
Borg himself still believes Federer is history’s best but each time
Nadal improves his impressive head-to-head against the Swiss — he
currently leads 16-8 — it becomes harder to defend that thesis. And
the Swede is under no illusions that Nadal may well consign his own
records to ancient history by eventually winning “seven or eight
French titles”.

All what this H2H says is Nad has an edge over Fed on clay. Contributes
nothing to GOAT discussion.
only human
Tennis pundits hardly ever point that out.
J-mac never does. its obviously used time
and again to try to discredit Roger to make him look like a lesser
player. this is no different then dirty politics.
