Actually I think it's 14-23, 9-3 in majors. But it's 13-2 Rafa on clay 5-0 at the French. Rafa easily the best clay court player ever,
Not only is Rafa totally suspect with the Spanish doping program...
But he's 4 years younger than Fed. When they came into this rivalry, Fed had already dominated tennis for a decade.
So some younger guy comes along and starts winning - no surprise he would have a better head to head record.
People act like they came into tennis at the same time.
Roger won his first Wimbledon in 2003.
Rafa won his first in 2008.
You can't go head-to-head as some be all and end all - that's fricking ridiculous.
Who knows how much Roger would have dominated Rafa and for how long if Rafa was around when Fed was dominating.
You can't show up late to the party and then claim you're the best when you aren't playing your opponent at his youthful best.

What are you talking about? So Nadal fans should discount anything before 2008?
I mean Nadal beat Fed in Miami (their first match) after Fed had won Wimbledon Nadal won 4. Major titles by the age which Fed won his first
