He should be the #1 ranked in the world. Ok, so if you beat the #1 and you are #2- shouldn't you move up? He is 5-1 against Federer and has a clay court streak, how could he not be #1 this year?

Nadal is not the greatest. He has trouble on all surfaces except clay. Is Nadal the greatest clay player, yes, he has the longest streak. I think Federer has a good cushion between 1st and 2nd because of his points.

Nadal is only a clay court specialist. He is active only during the clay season winning most of them. His game suits only clay where he can retrieve each ball & smack a winner. He is humbled down by Federer on other surfaces. Infact he is sent packing even by newbies in the opening rds except the French Open. A deficit of 3000 pts proves Why Roger is #1.

Federer is a better all around player and has won 3 of the last 4 majors. You can't overtake that after just a couple of months. I'd love to see them play in Wimbledon. Federer will destroy. Same in the U.S. Open or on any hardcourt. Federer is #1 and always Wimlebon in my book unless Nadal becomes a fantastic grass and hardcourt player, which is unlikely.

Nadal is all clay. He is superb, but only on clay. Federer is great on all 3 surfaces and has won all other slams. What also counts for points is the seed and rating of players you beat.

He's only the greatest on clay court. Federer is better on all other surfaces.
