Novak has more Grand Slams, more Master 1000 titles, more weeks at Number 1 and a winning head to head record against Federer. The same (except for the weeks at number 1) goes for Nadal, but with an even more lopsided h2h (Nadal 24 - 16 Federer). I like Federer, but he's obviously 3rd best. The stats couldn't be more clear. You'd know that too if you didn't get your entire tennis knowledge from KZbin Shorts.

​@@TorpedoSandwich0 I almost got scared of your angry fingers there. Both Novak and Nadal started competing with Federer when they were much younger and gained the edge in numbers later on, when age and injuries began to weigh against Roger.
