Is Federer better than Nadal? No.

I think it depends on how you define better. Nadal is clearly a better clay court player than Federer. On hard courts and grass, Fed has a way more impressive resume and has held his own against Nadal (8-7 Fed lead).

I find if kind of funny that Fed being the second best clay court player of his generation has hurt his standing in a lot of people's eyes. If he'd been like Sampras and routinely lost in the 4th round of clay court tourneys, his h-2-h with Nadal would look a lot better.
