To federer fans: reasons why federer is better than Nadal?

Question

I am a Federer fan. i can't quite describe what roger has that makes him great. i mean, it's his style of playing, the elegance and grace in court. he moves like panther, quick and smooth.

i wonder what else you think, federer fans

but i'm also open to other answers (that is, nadal over federer)

Answer 1

simple answer is, he isnt. tomorrow rafa's going to be announced as world number 1. he beat federer on all serfaces this year and is taking his crown. so the answer alot of people would argue is that actually rafa is better than federer

Answer 2

Federer is Betterer LOL  

Answer 3

I think Rafa is better than Fed :).  He has won 5 grandslams and an Olympic gold medal (something Fed has never won in singles) at the age of 22, and Federer only had 1 grandslam at the same age.  Rafa also won the French Open on his first attempt, and has been totally unbeatable on clay since.  He also dethroned the King Of Grass and totally adapted his game to suit all surfaces.  His game has also improved so much over the past couple of years and will continue to improve.  I think Nadal will win all four grandslams one day, whereas I don't think Federer will ever win the French Open :).  I love Rafa's style of play, so aggressive and energetic and amazing to watch.  He plays every point like it was match point, never giving up even when the ball is on the other side og the court, he runs to try and catch it and does a good majority of the time hehe :) !!  Rafa also won the French and Wimbledon in the same year :D.  Federer is, no doubt, one of the best players ever and I'm not taking anything away from all he has achieved.  I just think Rafa has done so well already and will overtake Federer's number of grandslams in the coming years and he becomes #1 tomorrow !!  I'm soooooooo excited hehe !

Vamos Rafa !! xx

Answer 4

Rafa is better but I simply don't care because I am a fan of Mr. Federer.

Answer 5

JUST sit back and relax. tomorrow - u will understand that NADAL is simply better than FED once the new ranking is released. NADAL gains 400 ranking points for winning the gold and once again reconfirming his status as the NEW NUMBER 1. u are talking of the OLD federer during his prime but he's slumping now and he no longer moves like PANTHER - no  longer quick and not so smooth.

Answer 7

I am a huge fan of roger. 2 be honest,rafa works better than roger this year but in my opinion roger is totally better than rafa.roger is so genius.during the match he just thinks how he can get points by his own tactics.as u see,he just doesn't move a lot on court because somehow he has control over the playing and he is so dominant.

rafa is a good player but I think his power has the main role in his acheivements but he playes very well.but he should do so much more 2 be just a little bit like roger.

so this year rafa

totally roger

roger is the best in history.  

Answer 8

Federer is better on grass which is faster than clay,so he doesn't have much of a problem while facing Nadal.

But the clay pitches are slower and as Federer is used to fast paced tennis he isn't able to face the "KING OF CLAY-Nadal".But I think Nadal is better than Federer because he defeated Federer in his own backyard(Federers own strenght grass)
