Hewitt has only 2 Masters, who would have thought.

Players who haven't won a single one in 2000s include Gasquet, Gaudio, Rios, Rafter, Del Potro, Baghdatis, Philippoussis, Gonzalez .... Nalbandian was lucky to get his 2 MS in 2007.

You're missing a couple thousand players in that list of yours.

Nalbandian won two ams and made other four finals. He had to beat Federer in both of those titles where Davydenko was 3/3 and in his first title in Bercy 2006 He did beat good players but none great -Tursunov,Ancic and Hrbaty- and He didn't have to play Federer.

Magnus Norman!!! <3

Another great player who sadly never got a slam. All those injurieds. His career was full of them. Screw Nalby..had Norman been given a full career he might have worked his way to a slam. Rome 2000 brilliant match they way he handled a prime Gustavo on clay.

DO you mean that seriously? Just asking, cause my thread almost got ruined by Nalbatrolls.
Nope.. you got your ass kicked, thats different. Do you know the word "argument"? If you call nalbandian "lucky", with no arguments, what do you expect?
And the funny thing is that nalbo beat convincingly the top players twice to get his two MS. How can that be called luck?

It's ok. I understood how close minded you are. You are just a davydenko lover that wont listen to arguments.

Hey, Hellooooo! Earth calling la la land in which Nalbandian has more slams than Gaudio. The point that is apparently not getting through to you is that Nalbandian was lucky to wake up in 2007 to get those 2 Masters, when he was already on the downturn of his career.

Nalbandian in that form would have taken out Davy 6-2,6-3 most likely.

Wow, I just realized Nadal won 1/3 of all clay-court Masters tournaments this decade. And he was only a force on the tour during the second half of the decade as well... Geez.

Yeah! Nalbandian got lucky whilst beating Nadal 6-4 6-0 in the Paris Final. At least Nalbandian doesn't completely choke when he sees Federer over on the other side of the net.

Anyone named 'Davy_For_Goat' wants to be laughed at IMO
 
Count each Masters Cup win as two masters shields (at least)

not sure if TMC can count as much as 2 Masters, but OK

24 Federer (11 HC, 5 CC)
15 Nadal (5 HC, 10 CC)

7 Agassi, Djokovic

6 Hewitt
5 Safin, Davydenko, Kuerten
4 Roddick, Murray, Ferrero, Nalbandian

2 Moya, Coria

Federer cannot imitate choking 5 MPs. That's inimitable.
Nadal played those points very well.

I repeat, the reason why people talk so much about nalbandian, is his game. His beautiful game. And dont worry, because davydenko has a beautiful game too, and people talk about him too. His game is just not as good to watch as nalbandians, thats a fact.

Nalbandian is like santoro, the difference is that people saw nalbandian win relatively big tournaments and beat the best players with that beautiful game, while santoro was more of a beauty to watch but not so effective beating the best.

Whom did Nalby beat in a slam? The only important names I can remember are Federer (long time ago in 2003), and Davydenko at Roland Garos in 2006 (shame). After 2003, he always lost to Fed, Safin, Roddick and Hewitt. Even Baghdatis beat him.

And whom did davydenko beat in a slam?

Arent the masters cup and two masters, big tourneys? What about beating the top three twice? isnt that big? call me the day davydenko does it.

You are blind and just keep avoiding to answer. You just come up with something different every post.

It's not about Davydenko. And besides, Davy fans do not have such an exaggerated estimation of Davydenko's abilites.

But, Nalbandian, who supposedly possesses Federer's talent, could not beat anyone in a slam in his best years (except Davydenko, blast!).

The other question: Since US Open (within 2 months), Davydenko beat Fed, Rafa (2 times), Djokovic, Del Potro, Verdasco, Gonzalez, Monfils, and Soderling (2 times).

David has a lot of problems to keep his game high and be consistent, thats a fact. But his peak is real high. He has proven it with relatively big feats. He has to proof himself on the slams, and I think he can do something about that next year.

You started all this sh** saying that nalbandian was lucky to win paris and madrid. My interpretation is that his abilities alowed him to beat the top3 twice, not luck. If we talk about luck, what can we say about davydenko? who won shanghai and the mc being two and a half years older? is that super luck?

I want to finish here, we are mature persons and should not waste our time in this discussions.
