Will Nadal's accomplishments be better than Sampras when he is done ?

Especially considering Grass isn't even fast grass anymore.
But whatever.

Oh I see, for a minute I thought you were saying we were, but it's good if you are questioning the insinuation. All Nadal fans are the same to Federer fans. I've seen up to 5 posters being accused of being me, yet the accusers are not very observant.

Thats amazing what Nadal did in 2010. But to be on top for over half a decade at#1 is out of this world

LOL, Sampras was never #1 for over half a decade. He kept getting kicked off the top spot regularly.

Not as impressive as it would have been in Pete's day. With the slower courts, new racquets, etc. Nadal and Fed were able to use the same style to win on every surface. Just wouldn't have happened in the 80s and 90s.

i'm taking the resilient *** school of thought, one that has been done close to perfection here on TT, to the next level.

NSK is one of the 5 posters I'm talking about. And I've never even seen a post by ***. I wish someone would quote a *** post so I can see for myself how similar the poster is. But I suspect *** is no more similar to me than "90s clay". I'm glad I'm powerful enough to own so many posters on Talk Tennis though and be in their heads probably for the next 50+ years, all the way to their graves. They deserve it.

Nadal is not winning all of those titles. Winning a 250 event would be an accomplishment at this point so talking him up to win masters titles and slams is ridiculous.

You were the same person that said career slam is nothing and calendar slam is the holy grail and number of majors does not count.
