You’re right, they don’t tell any story at all. All it means is that while Federer did the best he could do to reach the finals every single time on Nadal’s strongest surfaces, Nadal comfortably lost in semifinals or before and was never there to challenge Federer in AO/USO during his best years.
You stick to h2h like it matters in tennis – it doesn’t, and I’m tired of critics giving the same rotten excuse every single time. Why else does Murray who has never won a GS have a lead over Fed? And why have davydenko/delpo dominated Nadal in every hard court match the last 2 years?
I can assure you no one in our lifetimes can touch the records that Federer has set, Nadal won’t be able to overtake Sampras either because he just doesn’t have the weapons or talent to win easily. Federer dominated everyone to such an extent that players in his era like roddick, safin or hewitt were just not allowed to prove their greatness.

@Pera and other Fed-haters out there,
Aren’t you folks ashamed to say that the only reason you disapprove of a great player is how he conducts himself OUTSIDE of a tennis court? A tennis fan has no right to comment on things that happen after the players step out of court. Has Federer broken a single rule in the midst of a match in his entire professional career? None. And he possesses such a beautiful and skillful game, it is impossible to find fault in it.
Look at the other top players – Nadal is culprit No 1. He slows down the game according to his whims and gets a time warning between points in every major match. He takes unreasonable medical time outs to disrupt an opponents rhythm, and worse of all has admitted to taking on-court coaching in some matches. Has Federer ever let his injuries show during a match? Now that is model behavior. I don’t even want to talk about Nole’s disgusting habit of bouncing the ball a hundred times before serving…
Do you think these characters can match Federer’s off-court class once (or if) they ever reach his level? very unlikely. Just stop hating and enjoy the great man’s game, whatever is left of it, till its no more.

LOL! is this how you guys support your favorite tennis players? Bring on the arguments I say!
Just last week at Indian wells, Nole called Nadal GOAT, and Nadal returned the compliment saying he’s ‘one of the greatest’. Now if you combine the GS tallies of these two blokes, you get the number of slams Roger had achieved back in 2006. The most inane comments from a pair of tennis players ever IMO.
