Nadal
definition 1
Possibly the greatest player of the decade, came into the Federer era and destoryed him on clay- labelled as a clay court player untill he raised his game onto other surfaces and owned everyone on them. currently invincle on clay, and the best player in the world on every other surface. will probably be seen as the clay court GOAT by the time he retires and possibly the GOAT himself. can beat Federer with his eyes closed
Definition 2
The worst player of the decade, sneaked into the Federer era and managed some ropey wins on clay using the one dimensional tactic of hitting to the federer backhand. can only play on clay- clay court specialist- which include the super slow green clay at wimbledon and the new blue clay at the AO- wins on clay only because the current era is the weakest clay court era of all time. wil never be considered as GOAT because his play style is too ugly.

Wait, Federer is considered past his prime despite making it to the final of the last 4 straight slams.

Did you plagiarize this from http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=251731&highlight=dictionary?
Clay:
~noun
1. Any surface on which Rafael Nadal wins a tournament. Clay can be red, blue, green, grey, low bouncing, high bouncing, with leaves on it or covered by cement (it doesn’t matter, clay’s still there).
Or did you just happen to have the same idea and decided to phrase it remarkably similarly? Or did you just feel that it was a generic way to put it and no citation was needed?

"At his/her best" - a vague phrase often used to overhype lesser accomplished players to all time great status. (See: Safin/Nalbandian "at their best" are better than Federer)
Beautiful/Classic Game - term often used by 1HBH lovers to describe pros who use 1HBH. (Ex: Justine Henin plays such a beautiful game, I don't know who this guy is but he has a 1HBH so he plays a classic game, etc)
Talent - similar to "at his best", a term often used to overhype players that didn't accomplish as much as their fans would like them to to all time great status (Ex: Nalbandian/Safin are more talented than Federer, Gulbis has top 5 talent, etc)
