Yes I do. Statistically at the moment he was. So again, just learn in silence.

He never were. And whoever says this kind of nonsensical horse crap can't possibly know whatever he/she is saying.

LOL you don't even understand where he was coming from. Just to continue your beginner lesson (I should charge you), everybody referred to the fact that given he went to net once he solidly had built the point, his ratio of efficiency was enormous. Like it is his smash. So McEnroe and Gilbert don't know about tennis and you do. LOL.

I understand you're just a fanboy that believes that whatever TV commentator says are the factual truth, but that isn't.
Nadal only goes to the net when the point is essentially dead. He isn't a great volleyer. Even Toni Nadal wouldn't say that.

Arguably the breaks he is taking is leading to a higher level when he does play.

Exactly what McE and I are saying.

Player 1 comes to the net once in a match and wins the point is 100% effective on volleys.
Player 2 comes to the net 50 times (someone like Zverev the older say) and wins 30 is 60% effective on volleys.
People who think statistics are revelations from god and yet are slightly innumerate say that player 1 is a 40% better volleyer than player 2.
Thanks for the lesson on "ratio of efficiency," but it looks to me like you're being highly reductive. This of course is not even to get into the area of initial volleys and follow up volleys as opposed to putting away sitters.

I remember Rafa was doing some analysis after one of his matches at the WTF, and the commentator (can't remember who) asked him what he thought about himself being the most successful player at the net this tournament (in terms of % won). He was around low 70s, while Fed was the next best at 70% IIRC. Rafa just shrugged and said something about how he comes to the net, when the opportunity best presents itself. Went on to say that if he went to the net as much as Roger, his stats wouldn't look like that at all.
I think it was a 2015 WTF match analysis, but I can't find it.

I am not being reductive, just explaining what McE was saying.

OK then.

But the point was actually Gilbert saying Federer is playing better than ever, not McE nor Rafa's volleys.

People who dont know tennis keep saying Nadal is a volleyer.
They always fall back to the "commentator".
