Is Nadal the only player to win all slams multiple times on 3 surfaces (arguably 4)

[The Dark Knight]

Laver won only on two surfaces.

Agassi only has one FO

Fed only has one FO

Emerson won only on two surfaces

( note the us open is on peci cushion while the open is on deco turf a faster surface......so Nadal won multiple times on three surface arguably 4).

Mats Wilander.

All those players did not play on homogenized surfaces. Federer won AO when it was fast and slow...He won his US Opens when it was faster....He has won on fast indoor courts. He along with Agassi and Laver have proved themselves on both fast and slow surfaces.

Winning all four majors will not be such a major achievement now that the tournament organizers want to slow down everything to the point that all majors play the same way...

Nadal has never won Wimbledon on grass.

Nadal has never won Wimbledon on grass.

He won on the slow grass/clay like that Federer guy. These baseliners! Doubt either would have won one if they hadn't slowed down the grass in 2001. I remember Roger was terrible on it when it was fast. The Isners, Karlovics, Raonics would have ruled Wimby.

Do you actually watch tennis or do you merely sponge up the regurgitated offal here? The slowing of Wimbledon was done in stages and Federer was far from terrible when it was considerably faster than today. When in doubt, youtube is your friend.

Did you actually watch Federer when the Wimbledon courts were fast? Rd1, Rd2. He beat the aging Samprass once that's all he did.
But I do admit he started playing extremely well once the courts were slowed down and the big servers couldn't capitalise no more. Federer then used his baseline game to beat everyone. Roger also could SnV well at times, although not at all a specialist at that.

When did Nadal win his second Australian Open?

This. The OP is wrong and incorrect. Failed thread.

 

[The Dark Knight]

Mats Wilander.

Mats never won Wimbledon .....and I think he only won the AO on grass .....once?

Tough one . Don't know the answer.

How can the op be wrong if he asked a question ?

But good point . I guess you mean the question is phrased wrong ?

Question should be is Nadal the only player to win on 3
Slam Surfaces multiple times .

Batman, taken from Wilander's wiki page:

"He and Rafael Nadal are the only men in tennis history to have won at least two Grand Slam singles titles on each of the three surfaces."

Mats won 3 Oz Opens.

Wow! Thank you!

But wouldn't connors qualify as well?

This is what I meant in the other thread.

It is amazing you didn't know Wilander won two GS on grass.

And it is amazing you don't know Connors did not win 2 GS on clay.

Seriously, what do you know about tennis and how many weeks have you been watching tennis? (because it is obvious you didn't watch tennis some years ago, given that you not only don't know so many things that happened during the 70s or 80s or 90s, but you also don't know so many other things from the very last few years as other threads of yours show).

It is very very strange that a person that knows so little about the game, suddenly starts posting several threads a day in a tennis forum. Quite weird, isn't it?

Mats had 2 AO grass, 1 AO hard, 3 FO Clay, and 1 USO hard

So, he won at least 2 majors on every surface, but not every major at least 2 times on the different surfaces (if that makes sense).

I guess Federer never won on grass either.

Who knew?

Australian Open is a poor man's Wimbledon when it was played on grass.

When somebody starts getting interested in something, they usually get very excited about it at the beginning, talking about it endlessly with as many people as possible.
So it's not strange at all.
