    but you're giving Rafa slams he hasn't won yet....

    Roger doesn't have a winning record against Murray either, I guess Murray should be #2

    Does Murray have 14 slams?

    There is an argument for both sides atm, but I believe it's stronger for Nadal.

    If he wins 3-4 more, then there is 0 argument, whatsoever. It wouldn't even be close.

    nope but you're very fixated on Nadal's H2H with Federer which doesn't tell the entire story.

    Fed would probably still have a losing record against Nadal but it would be closer than it is now had Nadal been able to make deeper runs on grass/hard court prior to 2009/10 and on.

    No, that's just a part of the argument, which is very strong.

    If nadal wins 3 or 4 more then sure. Like I said before though, You're giving him slams he hasn't won yet. Those 3-4 aren't guaranteed..even on Clay. 2009 showed us that. With Nadal's ever more frail knees, nothing's guaranteed.

    edit: as far as nadal winning 3 or 4 more...is it out of the question that Roger, who is world #2 currently (lol weak era huh), can maybe win 1 or 2 more? He was in wimbledon finals last year...maybe he has it in him to win at least 1 more.

    Stop using 2009 as an example, it's ignorant.

    It was a once in a blue moon kind of thing, something that will never happen again for the rest of Nadal's life.

    He was still injured last year at RG and he beat out the world #1 Djokovic 3 sets to 1.

    how is that ignorant though? I would say you dismissing it completely is ignorant. You never know when injuries can occur or someone has an off day on the court.
    since Djoker's rise to prominence (IMO 2010ish) he is 4-5 against Nadal on clay. Let's not act like RG is a wrap 100% for Nadal.
