I disagree with the "nadal is only good on clay" part. Nadal won hard court titles in Beijing, Montreal and Dubai, which were all hard court events. He even beat Ljubicic in Madrid (indoor). So, facts proves that Nadal is not "only good on clay"
However, I must agree that Federer still has the edge over Nadal on grass court. Unless Nadal improves over the years, EX: get a bigger serve, return closer to the baseline, he is no match for Federer.
One thing we must realize is that the draws in Wimbledon don't always work the way we want them to be. Federer is gonna be the #1 seed, Nadal is going to be the #2 seed. So, the only way they gonna head to head is in the finals. And unfortunately i don't see the picture where Nadal can get to the finals.

I'd like to see it, but I doubt it'll happen. I think Federer will win, but I doubt he'll be playing Nadal in the final. He's not likely to reach the Wimbledon final at this point in his career. Nadal's just not good enough on grass yet. If, by some chance, they do play, my money's still on Federer. He's pretty much the top dog on grass at the moment.

Nadal typically isn't fantastic on grass so I wouldn't expect him to get so far, though he has improved a lot since last year.
I expect Federer would beat him if they met on grass now - he's great on grass. Nadal is an excellent player but doesn't quite govern the grass court (yet) - he's much better on clay.

Roger is gonna win wimbledon once again. no doubts. Nadal is good on other surfaces too. but not as good as federer. he is gonna find it tough to even reach the finals in order to play federer.

Nadal isn't "only good on clay," but that is the only surface that he has a chance of beating Federer. I think Federer's going to 4-peat at Wimbeldon.

Besides on Clay, the truth is that Nadal isn't that good of a Tennis player. He's just an average pro on any other surface.

I think Rafael Nadal can make it to Wimbledon final. We can't underestimate Rafael Nadal because he is good player.
