how many people were fans of nadal before 2006

[wyutani]

well, not me.

what was the purpose of this - nadal fans aren't glory hunters as they don't root for federer - the player with the most GS's

not a cool thread, not cool at all

[TheMagicianOfPrecision]

Not me, id say 1%...

[clayman2000]

I was.... that 04 match vs Federer was amazing

I had also heard about Nadal in 03, when he beat Moya in Hamburg

So would Nadal have as many fans of he hadn't won 6 Grand Salms?

Would you be a nadal fan if he had 0 Grand Slams at this stage?

be honest and don't deny the truth...

better question is how many people were fans of nadal before 2008

[Andres]

I actually used to hate him between 2004 and 2005. Around 2006, with his Wimby run, he won me over :)

Fed, on the other hand, never won me over.

[feetofclay]

Since his first appearance at Wimbledon. I think 2003

[Serendipitous]

I became a fan while watching his semi with Federer in the 2005 French Open.

[maximo]

Very few. There's Morrissey, and like 3 others.
