Federer holds the record for Grand Slam titles with 17 and added his first ever Davis Cup title to his list of achievements last weekend. “I think he is (the best of all-time), the numbers say so,” Toni Nadal told Spanish radio station Cadena COPE. “Federer is the best in the history of the game alongside Rod Laver and, unfortunately for us, it is like that.”
