Two-handed backhand.

Without toughness and two handed backhand of Nadal, if he would have his AGE, he would win it few more for sure...

*hit his stride (damn you touchscreens :))

How come without mental toughness he won 17 slams?! He has toughness. Just because he lost more 5 setters do not mean he is mentally weak.

Faster surfaces and larger racquet throughout his career. Nadal benefited greatly from technology and high bouncing slow surfaces.

What I meant was leaving the courts as they originally were without deliberately slowing them down. If Wimbledon court in 2008 was anywhere close to when Sampras was playing, Fed would have won in 3-4 sets.

A bald spot. (Less weight, a little quicker on his feet.)

If Federer were left-handed.
