And Sampras played in a tougher era with inferior equipment. G-d only knows what he would do in this era. I saw his matches with Federer at 38. He'd be a top 10 player now.
And Andy Murray's 6-2 record is irrelevant considering he's never beaten him in a major. Nadal has a 5-2 record against Federer IN the majors. Btw, Sampras retired at 30-31.
When all is said and done, and provided he can stay healthy, I'm putting my money on Nadal becoming the greater player of all time.
And your logic is flawed. That's like saying Bill Russell is better than Michael Jordan because he won more titles.
