Great, so at the end of a career it would be who owned who is what will be remembered and not their overall achievements & how versatile they were...Excellent!!
Again for 1000th time, Fed's resume & owning by Nadal only says how good Fed was in Clay. Had he been a little weak on clay ( say like a Sampras) he wouldn't have met Nadal in those Clay matches (15 of their 31 meetings), the H2H would have looked much better, but actually would have meant Fed was not good in clay.

A 32nd ranked player way back when he was just 17 in 2004 won against the then No.1 player in their very first meeting (Miami Masters) on his least favourable surface (Hard court). So this guy clearly had something to unsettle the No.1 on his best surface. But somehow he avoids meeting the No.1 on any of the Hardcourt Grandslams until 2009, clearly when the other guy is on his decline. Remember by this time they have already met 19 times (10 times on clay, 4 on Hardcourts, 3 on Grass & 2 on indoor Hardcourts).
