I'd like his girlfriend (and body), yes.

But same for Soderling, Djokovic, Lopez, and Verdasco, who I like, though I think Dasco may well be juicing.

I was referring more to Murray, but yeah, Nadal is a bit of one too. But my favorite player in style alone are the Ferrer(o)s.

His clay game is and will always be interesting to watch.

Let's just hope we'll get to see him play on clay one of these years.

He's not really.

His game never has any dead moments like Murray's or Simon's.
He just grinds a lot, and has that ability to turn defensive into offensive. Oh, and add a lot of topspin to that, too. There's not really a lot of middle ground when it comes to Nadal, so I wouldn't classify him as a pusher.

Grinder= nice word for pusher

Nope.

Grinder = reaching and putting into play balls that are being left and are unreachable for most other guys. Ex: Nadal, Ferrer.

Pusher = hitting dead balls from the middle of the baseline.
Ex: Murray, Simon.

djokovicgonzalez2010 · 03-10-2010, 04:19 PM

Or hitting half-lobs on every point like Nadal and Ferrer. But I like that, so anyway, it's irrelevant.

Tell that to Roger Federer's backhand and he won't call them half lobs.

More like back-breakers.

djokovicgonzalez2010 · 03-10-2010, 04:37 PM

Nadal is a poor match-up for Fed. Point, you.

Is he back to 100% or not? He had stated he was 100% earlier this year, then after losing, said he wasn't. He also stated he wouldn't play a tournament (wimbledon) if he wasn't 100%, yet played several lower level tournaments right after, even though he had stated he wasn't 100%.

and what would "100% tennis form" look like in Nadal's case? When he is winning? or whenever convenient?

I could have sworn you were a Nadal fan? You don't ALWAYS have to be an ***.

Some of you may not speak Fedfanese.

From Websters FedFanese Dictionary:

Nadal is a poor matchup for Federer

def:

Nadal is better than Federer

Just pointing out the facts. Since nadal's life is the one that lead to these facts, I suppose you think he is an "ass". Nice. real nice.

Whatever you say. I just wish you would say something when you have something useful to contribute. 80% of your post count is juvenile nonsense.

This is nonsense. Look at career earnings, look at ranking trends, look at the records federer has broken-- all indicate that Federer is the superior player. The only argument I've heard for Nadal is the head-to-head between the two.

Nadal leads their overall head-to-head series 13-7 (Nadal leads 9-2 on clay, Federer leads 2-1 on grass, they are tied (3-3) on hard courts).

If anything it just indicates that Nadal hasn't been consistent enough to meet Federer anywhere but in finals of clay tournaments, therefore the lopsided h2h.

I think it's 13-7 in grand slams on all surfaces eberything else is bs. But I forgot....I'm speaking English rather than Fedfanese so you can't understand me.

Luckily I speak Federese...... :

simple : Nadal was #1 , Federer #2......oh crap that's plain English again ....and not Fedfanese
