Sorry, Roger: Rafael Nadal is not just the king of clay

[clayqueen]

Nadal has never been just the king of clay, thus this thread doesn't make any sense. The guy won two Masters on HC in 2005 (and lost another close final to a peak Federer) and started reaching the finals of Wimbledon regularly since 2006 and was only stopped by Roger until 2008.
He's always been very good on all surfaces and insanely dominant on clay.

Yes, Rafa's 'insane dominance' on clay has clouded his excellence as an all round tennis player.

Ralph has as many non clay slams as some of the ATGs. If he wins one more slam that isn't RG, all his detractors really should be quiet.

McEnroe: 7
Wilander: 7
Edberg: 6
Becker: 6
Nadal: 6 (3 USO, 2 WC, 1 AO)

What Rafa needs to do now, is win Australia and Wimbledon next year to consolidate his credentials that no one can argue against. Yes Wimbledon! He needs to stop getting three-footed by a one hit wonder who beats him then disappear for the rest of the season munching on his meal ticket.
