take a look at this video and see why El Maestro owns the most devastating backhand in the game:

I meant the camera angle. Nalbandian's angled shotmaking abilities are implied![]()
Another example why Nalbandian is NOT overrated here on the boards. The guy (stroke wise/point construction) has been one of the most talented players to ever play the sport.

LOL this is getting more and more ridiculous by the minute. All these Nalby fans are suddenly springing up, trying to make it seem like their player is some sort of all time great or something. Seriously... at the very end of the day, when the players have all retired, nobody will care about Nalbandian, because he hasn't done sh1t in the men's game, except win a few masters and beat Fed and Nadal a few times. For god's sake, this guy hasn't even won a slam, and he's now being called 'one of the most talented'?? Talent isn't just in the physical part of the game, you have to be up there in the mental department as well. Nalbandian is definitely waaayyy overrated.
If you can't understand why we can like him, say he's one of the best, while staying realistic, then either figure out, ask, or just leave it alone and maybe it will come to you. It's not complicated, and we're not delusional. You're just not looking at it from the right angle. By the way, don't ask. If you're intelligent enough to write the paragraph above, this should be simple for you, might be hard though.
I agree, even though his BH sucked the match later against Nadal.
You can go ahead and like him. I have no problem with that. You like what you like.
But continuously saying 'he's one of the best' and putting him in the same sentence with legends such as Nadal and Federer makes you look silly and an utter deluded fanboy thinking 'oh he's talented....therefore he is the best'.
Oh and here's another fact: Nalbadian 0 slams!
I've never claimed he is a legend like Nadal and Federer, nor have I claimed that talent equals greatness, or even supremacy. That I was clear before I even knew about these forums, or developed enough as a player to recognize the talent of nalbandian. He is one of the best talents, that goes without question. But he hasn't put in the work to become something like Nadal or Federer. It seems to me he is clear on what he would have to do, but has not chosen to do it.
Poster to poster, hold off on the offensive statements, I do my best not to do them or take them to heart, since I understand the condition this forum is in right now, but I didn't warrant it. I did let me know where. We all need to calm down some. I'm sick of trolls manipulating the mood of threads. It makes it hard to learn anything. A bunch of the people that are call '****s would'nt be for long if the their attetion wasn't being taken away from some of the insightful poster here by some direct personal attack that sometimes leaves you with no option but to retaliate.
You said in your last post that Nalbandian was one of the best players. There is no guarentee that Nalbandian would be winning slams if he 'wanted too'. He's simply not that good to go handing out slams and acting like he's a lock if he was fit.

Epic.
Again, the Nalbandian fans all come out to watch a highlight reel, fooling themselves that Nalbandian can hit shots like than consistently. Nalbandian isn't one of the most talented players every to play the sport.

That title goes to Safin. Nalbandian however does posses the 2nd best backhand (and 2H BH come to think of it) of the last decade though.

Nothing special. I mean it's good but doesn't mean he has the best double handed backhand. Murray can do all this and even more with his backhand. It is more important to be versatile with your backhand, and Murray is a lot better in this area than Nalbandian.
Safin is retired and Nalbandian is not as good a player anymore. Gasquet isnt candidate for best anything right now. Federer hitting his backhand like the AO final would be well up there. Berdych and Davydenko have strong backhands but probably better forehands. So I think the main candidates would be Djokovic, Murray, and Nadal. I would go with Djokovic if I had to pick one.

LOL yeah of course I can understand why people like him. What I can't understand is why people think he's one of the best, when, very clearly, he isn't. I am looking at it from the right angle, and no, I'm not going to ask, because I'm perfectly intelligent enough to understand it, although you obviuosly aren't.
He's good, well, yeah... a lot of pros who were top 10 are good.... that's kinda obvious... what is just as obvious is that he's not one of the best.
oh please, nalby's BH is anyday better than murray's ... players FEAR going to nalby's BH, I haven't seen anyone saying they fear murray's BH !
oh and you can watch their match in late 2008 indoors where an in-form murray go totally outplayed by nalby with nalby winning more than half the BH exchanges
