Reason:

Pro provided four reasons why Nadal is better (youth, superior serve, training & ball direction), Con conceded all of these points "Now, what you've said is quite true." but argued that because Federer gets injured less often, he is better. Pro rebutted this by pointing out that this debate is about who has superior skill and is therefore better, and not about who would win in a match. No further arguments followed so Pro's arguments stand unrefuted/conceded while Con's was rebutted. Arguments to Pro

Con ff'd 2/3 rounds, therefore conduct to Pro as well.

No S&G issues.

No relevant sources.
