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. &ldquo;I think he is (the best of all-time), the numbers say so,&rdquo; Toni Nadal told Spanish radio station Cadena COPE. &ldquo;Federer is the best in the history of the game alongside Rod Laver and, unfortunately for us, it is like that.&rdquo;
Nadal though has consistently had the upper hand on the World No 2 throughout their careers. The Spaniard holds a 23-10 record over Federer.
