The head-to-head isn't the argument Nadal fans should make against Federer.
That misses the point.
The argument Nadal fans should be making is that Rafa plays Fed WAY closer on grass than Fed plays Rafa on clay.
THAT is the proper #RafaGOAT argument.
H2H is context-free.

Unbelievable.

31 Grand Slam finals.
156 career finals.And made it there by beating such a worthy adversary. At 38 years old he is taking it to his career long rival, and winning. pic.twitter.com/flfYyeIe7q

Nadal missed some shots you normally see him make; but then we say the same about when Federer plays Rafa on clay.
Not playing Federer on grass for 11 years was big. Grass Federer's most productive and favourite surface; perhaps Nadal needed longer runs on grass in recent years
