is Nadal the second greatest grass court player of all time?

[Guamanian G]

i don't want to sound rude- but just because a player beat another player, it doesn't mean they're better or the greatest of all time.

exactly... just because nadal beat fed once on grass, doesn't mean he is the best.
we can't forget the legends!

He only manages to win uno Wimbledon so far, just one stinky Queen's Club title this year, and you start to label him the greatest on grass. You need psychological counseling or brain surgery, pal. :twisted:

Good grief, All this Nadal-mania crap. He's the GOAT grass this, clay that.

He hasn't even won enuf to be #1 in the world for ONE DAY!

Yet. But he'll probably earn it soon, and keep it for a few months.

Here we go again. Seems like I have been in this dance before:

Well it depends on what your cirteria is for 2nd greatest of all time.

If your criteria is Wimbledon wins then clearly Nadal who is in the infancy of his career is no where near the second greatest of all time. That is obvious.

But what I am talking about is actual talent....actually who would win.

Rod laver is considered the greatest of all time but if Federer had to play Rod then Roger would have killed laver for sure. And yet laver clearly has the better record.

So I am not talking about records....but rather actual talent. I truly believe that if nadal stepped on to the court with almost anyone in the past that Nadal would beat them. I really think Nadal would have beaten Sampras, Laver, Borg, you name it. The only person that stands in Nadals way on grass is Roger Federer.
