The guy's athleticism and perseverance on every point certainly seems unparalleled in history, though that said, Federer's seeming effortlessness with how he plays is equally amazing. I wouldn't be surprised if Nadal keeps it up and surpasses Fed's slams but at the moment it's a toss-up to me on who is the best player of all time. Just the fact that today's Fed match was only the 7th time EVER that he's lost in a slam after winning the first set is just incredible...he was something like 192-6 in GS matches he's won the first set in prior to today's. Djokovic really beat the odds.
