Its a tough tough statement because Fed had NO competition till Nadal came along. Nadal probably hit his prime at the same time Fed was starting his decline,2008. Fed was still ~26/27.

I think the interesting question, is how does all of this play out if Rafa is 3 years older?
Full disclosure, I'm a Rafa fan: but I think under that scenario Rafa would have more slams right now than Fed.

I think that's more applicable to Djok, who is hitting his prime as Rafa is declining (almost certainly due to health).
