It is ironic that Safin, a player with as much natural talent as a Federer thinks that 'work horse' (btw I don't agree with that analogy of Nadal) is more impressive.
That would sort of be like saying Michael Chang is more impressive than Stefan Edberg. Not a great comparison because Edberg is one of the greats of tennis, but Chang never really had the natural talent of any of other slam winners I can think of from that error, but made a number of slam finals and got to #2 in the world.

To me Federer is absolutely incredible, I love watching him play. I have MASSIVE respect and admiration for Nadal also, who is one of the greatest ever. The two have been so great that it is conceivable that either one might just have won 25+ slams without the other there as there only real competition.

Federer is the is the greatest tennis player I have seen (imo) and is right up there with Tiger Woods & Michael Jordan when it comes to those players that people will talk about in 50 or 100 years time.
