23-15 not 23-10 anymore

The notorious h2h rears its ugly head minus the two horns that Federer broke on the way to his 5-0 for the last five matches they played.

it was skewed because fed made it to clay final after clay final against rafa when they were #1 and #2, always on opposite sides of the draw.

rafa was busy losing to relative nobodies like blake and youzhny while fed waited for him at us open final after us open final. again, that was as #1 and #2 on opposite sides of the draw for half a decade.

Nadal had a great record against FED on outdoor hard courts before this year, though.

Nadal had a 8-2 lead on outdoor hard courts before this year.
