Nadal clay-courter while Roddick and Blake all-courters? Sorry, I can´t agree.

 

[TacoBellBorderBowl1946]

Nadal=grinder Federer=shotmaker Blake=shotmaker Ljubicic and Roddick= bad forehands but rely on huge serve to win matches Nalbandian= needs to lose weight Robredo= inconsistent Davydenko=clay courter Baghdatis= uses DTL shots and speed to win.

wrong. he uses a semi-western.

Federer actually uses an Extreme Eastern forehand, which is in between an eastern and semi-western forehand. I believe he uses an eastern backhand.
