Was Nadal around when Federer was in his prime? Honest question.

Fed's prime was arguably in the '03-'07 range and Nadal was beating him then, at least in four RG's in a row. You can write off the clay stuff, but the '08 Wimby and '09 Aussie losses are harmful to Fed's legacy IMO.

Rafa won his first French Open when Federer had 4 major titles to his name.

Fed's prime is generally recognized as 2004-2007

Nadal was 17-20.

Nadal won his first GS in 2005. He beat Federer in the semifinals on his 19th birthday.

The first time Rafa and Federer met was at the 2004 Miami Masters. Rafa was 17 and gave Fed -- who was number 1 in the world -- an arse whoopin...on hard courts.
