Nadal was probably tired and exhausted after winning the French open barely two weeks ago |

This is shocking but I don't like him. One less person Roger Federer, who is still the best player on grass, has to deal with on his way to making history at Wimbledon. |

Saint Chukz: You are right. And he definitely won't go down as the greatest.That title still legitimately belongs to the Swiss Master and Maestro....Roger Federer. Not to forget that Roger only has one french open title...thanx to Soderling. Truth be said Rafael rules clay as does Roger on grass bt the latter is a better all-rounder than the formal. Stil doesn't make me love him though |

Altho federer is more technical buh nadal exhibit a bruta force,passion and speed('d animal') |

^^^^^^^^ Federer is the greatest....not Nadal. |
Re: Rafael Nadal Knocked-out Of Wimbledon 2013 In 1st Round Match by metti(m): 7:51am On Jun 25, 2013 |
Saint Chukz: Nadal is only King on Clay...but when it comes to other surfaces, he is just Average. Am not surprised at all...just that it was an early ouster, always knew he would be sent packing @ one point or the other. Now..the coast is clear for my No.1 choice. Novak Djoko...the Beast....!You are wrong! How can you call him an average player on other surfaces? Are you aware he has won wimbledon twice, US open once Australian open once? It doesn't take an average player to win any grand slam. |

Altho federer is more technical buh nadal exhibit a bruta force,passion and speed('d animal')Nope, i wasn't being sentimental at all. If i was, then my choice would have been Novak...because i actually see him as a fine mix between Federer and Nadal...i know in years to come Novak will become the greatest..but for now that accolade goes to the Swiss Maestro...Roger Federer. |
Re: Rafael Nadal Knocked-out Of Wimbledon 2013 In 1st Round Match by SaintChukz(m): 8:42am On Jun 25, 2013 |
metti:Yawns...the fact that he won on other surfaces once or twice doesn't negate the fact that he is just Average on those surfaces. I can list a handful of players who were average who also won once or twice on different surfaces. The yardstick i have used is that if he can't easily replicate on other surfaces what he does with ease on the clay surface, then he is simply or maybe "slightly" above average on those surfaces. |

Nadal has more percentage to win on grass than federer on clay. Nadal have surprisingly shattered federer in recent years regardless of d surface bn played. |

After Nadal, The FEDEX is the next best clay tennis player. He made the final of Garos on numerous occasions only to lose to Nadal. Which means if not for Nadal, he would have pocketed 2 or 3 more French Open titles. Even in 2011 when the so-called tennis "experts" had Djockovic winning the semi final with Roger, especially considering Djocko's form and achievement that year, Federer proved all wrong by winning in 4 sets. So Federer is all-rounder while Nadal is just above average on other surfaces apart from RG. QED. 1 Like |

iykofias: why hasn't he won d davis n olympic cup then unlike nadal So Davis Cup and Olympics rank higher than what he has in your opinion? By the way he has bronze and gold (doubles) in Olympics. Or does he have yo win ALL before you accept him as the truest champion? SMHFY. 1 Like |

How about Federer who has won only once on the clay but seven times on grass? Would you call him an average player? I know you will argue that he has won US open and Australia open several times but remember that Nadal is only 27 years. He can still play for some years his only albatross is injury. You don't call any player rated among the greatest an average player. Any player who has won the four major grand slam at least once is among the greats. |
