16 slams

285 weeks as no 1 (237 consecutive week)

Ultimately it goes to how many trophies either has won and in that respect Federer easily takes the vote for the majority of people.

Despite Federer's 16 slams, I personally think Nadal is a better talent, better fighter, better competitor, better athlete. From 2005 to date, Nadal has won 10 slams and Federer 12, but Federer had won 4 before Nadal emerged. Nadal defeated Federer in Wimbledon (Federer's favorite court), and yet Federer failed miserably against Nadal on Clay.

So I take Nadal, but like I said, the public vote would give it to Federer.

i would still put Roger Federer ahead of Nadal..... 16 slams is huge

and there is only one Federer

his playing style is soooo smooth, artisic and sublime.....

alot of shot selection

Though i do like Nadal better and rather meet him over Federer

rafael nadal for sure!! an olympic gold medal...this surely is the most honourable thng tht a best sportsman can get...so surely rafa is way way gr8er thn federer

Nadal because roger is getting old and nadal is pretty young i think....... but definiatly Nadal.

i think nadal by the end of his career
