Is Djokovic more intellectual than Federer and Nadal?

[Hawkeye7]

Are you his PR-manager or sth.?

[Jeffrey573639]

Totally agree with OP. If you listen to classical, you are clearly more 'intellectual' than someone who doesn't.

!is that a fact, or just more rubbish?

Yep. That's a fact.

OP, that list lost all credibility when it listed Kanye in the honorable mentions section.

I would put Tipsy and Youzhny as the most intellectual tennis players.

James Blake and Mario Ancic can clearly join those two, the former having an Ivy League education, and the latter now being a lawyer.

Nadal has said many times that he likes classical music as well. Is he intellectual too?

Please. He can't even speak English, and that's the most basic requirement.

Plato and Aristotle, Leonardo da Vinci and Beethoven couldn't speak English either. Does that mean they weren't intellectuals?

You still haven't figured out that TTMR specializes in sarcasm, have you? You have been falling for his bait for months now.

Wow.

Your ignorance is *really* showing. At least 400 million people in the world speak Spanish. How's yours? How about your Catalan? Your Italian? French?

I'm sorry my post upset you, but it's 2013. It's easier to learn English than ever. Anyone who wants to be seen as world class individual speaks it. That was the consensus reached here.

The younger you are the easier it is to learn a new language. Nadal only started learning English in his late teens. I migrated to Australia from Europe 20 years ago when I was 4, I picked up English within a couple of weeks, my parents however still have a huge accent and struggle with pronouncing and spelling some words.

Nadal's English is good enough, just because he has a big accent and doesn't have an enormous English vocabulary doesn't make him any less of an intellect than Djokovic or Federer. We can only base intelligence from the content of what they are saying, not by how well they speak English.

Nadal isn't a politician or a world leader who needs to speak flawless English, he is a tennis player.

Not until he learns to compose and play his own classical music. I'm sure he can afford a violin.



Anyone can listen to classical music.

He plays good Piano.

Classical Music doesn't make someone intelligent. There are plenty of intelligent people who listen to Rap and Rock.

No there aren't.
