why are clay courters always bagged out about only doing well on clay
and seems a lot of people don' respect them as much coz apparently they are
"only good on clay"
but the same can be applied to those who favour hard courts such as Roddick, Blake or Haas......Haas in particular being terrible on clay (remember the Davis Cup flogging to andreev even though he might have been "poisoned")
this year if you look at James blake he only played 4 or 5 clay court events

while if you look at Ferrero

he played a 8 or 9 more hard court events despite being a "clay courter"
everyone is better on a particular surface but i think there are too many hard court events...if the scheduling of tournaments were different i think that More Grass events would be a great Idea becuase it seems the ATP calender is definately favoured towards "hard court" specialists
