If they meet again in a clay tournament, which i'm guessing is really likely, will Federer finally beat Nadal?

Federer will beat Nadal on clay. The gap between the two players on clay was narrowing last year, and Federer has taken confidence out of last years French Open Final and how close he came to beating Rafa. Since then, Federer has beaten Rafa on courts that suited him and seems to have put to rest the mysterious hold and dominance that Rafa seemed to have on him.
He has also seen other plays push and beat Rafa on a variety of surfacees, and he is smart enough to take advantage of the weaknesses that have been shown in Rafa's game and exploited by lesser players.
This is the year that Roger wins the French Open.

Cant say about other clay tournaments, but Federer is surely going to win this French Open 2007.
It is the only thing the Federer Express is targeting, and he is getting better and better.
Nadal had a very good year in 2006, but he is not upto it this year. I think he will have to work very hard to reach the finals of the Roland Garros 2007 (provided Federer is in the second half of the draw -- if Federer is in same half Nadal should give away his hopes on reaching the final).

Probably Federer. Nadal's clay court skills are awesome, but Federer's strokes and agility is better. The finals are gonna be Federer vs. Nadal in the French Open. I think as long as Federer can beat Nadal in the French Open, he is going to win all four Grand Slams.

I really think so. Nadal is hurting, he gets injured too often, I don't know why. Federer's game is flowing, and doesn't have those exertions that lead to injuries. So even if Nadal begins his streak early in the clay court season, by the middle of it he'll be hurting again, he just exerts so much on his body. By Roland Garros, Federer will have the advantage of a healthier body.

Never. When federer hangs up his racquet, he will have 20-22 slams. Nadal has 6 now. That's atleast 14-16 more. Even if he wins 2 per year, that'll take 7-8 years. Nadal will have to have knee replacement if he plays for 8 more years.

I believe so Federer looks like no one can beat him for the next 10 years.

Possibly. He came really close a couple of times last year.
