How do these Nadal injuries affect the Federer vs Nadal GOAT argument?
Do they help Nadal because one can argue he'd have more titles without these injuries, or does it just make Fed's run that much more impressive. IMO Fed's play style is specifically tuned to avoid injury so he should get credit for that.

Fed certainly has not suffered the number of injuries that Nadal has, but who has? Let's not foget that Fed did suffer a bout with mono (which retired Soderling) and did go through a period where he was suffering from back problems, and Fed's record during this period of time wasn't all that great.

And what if Nadal ends up surpassing Federer's GS record by winning only French Open titles from here on out?

For being 33 i still feel Fed is the hungriest player out there. He is playing lights out right now and caught a break with Rafa out. That Wimbledon loss still stings, but he has another shot. He must take advantage!! Fed

It's a broken wrist. What do you want him to do?

You aren't suggesting his style was actually concocted for the purpose of avoiding injury, are you?

Of course he is. He's the best player in the world playing on his best surface. He didn't forget how to play tennis at the altar.
