Yes, since Australian Open is played on slow hardcourt. Nadal has beaten Federer twice on slow hard court (Miami, Dubai).
So both can win 2 GS next year.
Therefore if he outperforms Federer in the smaller tournaments then he can be #1.

Not a chance. Not unless Roger Federer has some terrible injury or something. Rafa's does best on clay courts. He's struggled a lot on other surfaces (even though he improved quite a bit on grass this year) and about 75% of all tournaments in the ATP are either grass or hard courts. Rafa is a very great and likable player, but he has a long way to on hard courts especially.

No I don't think so, Federer is just simply to good! The question is can Roger overthrow Rafa on clay?

I dont think so coz Nadal is best on clay courts but winning a French Open wont take you to NO1.Fedrer is best on grass and both are almost even on hard courts but Roger have a upper hand there too so dont think Nadal can overthrow Roger from NO1 spot.

It depends on where the games is played. If it is played on clay, Rafael Nadal has a higher chance of winning but if it is played on grass, Roger Federer is more likely to retain his title. So far, Roger Federer has lost to three players: Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Marat Safin. You can refer to the website below for anything you want to know about Roger Federer.

Only way it's possible if Roger faces worst form of his life for some months or he gets injured for year or so but looking at boths current form Nadal has no chance in hell

according to probability Rafa could attempt focusing greater on Liverpool video games extremely than attempting to be an Arsene Wenger wannabe in terms of voyeurism. Liverpool could unquestionably win something if he does his activity good.
