That said, i think Fed is the GOAT in many ways. Unfortunate he isn't facing Nadal today, though if Fed won, the "yeah buts" would be going "yeah but, Nadal was injured" and "yeah but, it isn't on clay" and etc.

No need to make clay arguments anymore as Nadal beat Federer in both the Australian Open and Wimbledon. Federer has yet to prove he can beat Nadal at the French Open. And yes, Nadal didn't pick up a racket for 10 weeks and had an abdominal tear, and yet he still made the semis..
