Who is the worlds best tennis player now is it Nadal or Federer?

Question

Nadal beat Federer in the French Open and in Wimbelton!! But Federer won Wimbelton 5 times in a row!! ake that into account for both players!!

Answer 1

Officially, Federer is still number 1.

BUT, less than 600 points separate them now.  So I think Fed has a very precarious hold on the top position.  One misstep on his part could cost him that spot.

Until he does lose that spot, however, I think we need to acknowledge that he is still the best tennis player in the world because stats don't lie.  And he has been at that spot for YEARS.

Unfortunately, we can't assign that distinction to someone just because he beat Fed.  If Nadal is now the best player just because he beat Fed, does that mean that Stepanek was also the best player in the world at some point in time???

Didn't think so.  ;)

Answer 2

in the ranking system federer is still #1, but if nadal plays well over the hard court season, which will be difficult with his knees, i think he will overtake federer. I dont think nadal will play very good on the hard courts though, they are now faster than grass, and aren't as forgiving

Answer 3

I think Nadal is now the unofficial number one player in the world.  Nadal will probably win Roland Garros for the fifth time next year (fingers crossed).  Although Federer has won Wimbledon five times, I think Nadal will win the title numerous times in the years to come, after all he's only 22 and Federer is 27 lol. :-)

Answer 4

Well I still think Federer. he is more of a complete player and I like his playing style better. Nadal just pounds on the courts. That is why he is so burnt out by the time the U.S. open rolls around and his career won't be as long.

Answer 5

still federer... but nadal has made himself as a considerable threat to federer. hope nadal can perform well also in hard court season and balance federer's play in hard.

Answer 6

Still Federer.

It went to five sets. Federer could have won. Nadal wasn't lucky and he desereved it but Federer could have won too.

Answer 7

it will still be federer.

one defeat will notmake him lose any seed.

and if it does i will be suprised

Answer 8

Fed is still the official world no1!! Thanks God
