By the Numbers: Nadal vs. Federer
Monday, September 13, 2010
Rafael Nadal completed the career Grand Slam Monday, adding the 2010 US Open championship to his five titles at the French Open, two at Wimbledon and one at the Australian Open.
He is more than two-and-a-half years younger than Roger Federer was when the Swiss accomplished the Slam sweep at the 2009 French Open.
As of Sept. 13, Nadal is 24 years, three months and 10 days old. Federer was the same exact age on Nov. 18, 2005.
While tennis media and fans debate about the greatest player of all time, Nadal is ahead of Federer's pace in several key categories.
