    who calls Nadal a clay specialist? He's won majors on every surface so that doesn't make sense

    Plus clay specialists don't get to be ranked #1 in the world as Nadal is becoming again

    just seems like a perception thats hung on to him thru the years

    maybe im wrong but it doesnt seem like anyone holds up in the sampras/feds territory...i guess id interpret that because hed always been so dominant on clay

    Watch my first tennis match in prolly ten years. What i got out of that was one guy was basically a pussy who when the going got a little tough he quit like a pussy and folded up like a used tent. The other guy looked like he would run thru a wall to get each and every point.

    It's not that Nadal is a clay specialist, it's just no one could ever beat him on it. The guy is the 2nd best player in the world on every other court, and THE BEST on clay.
    His dominance on that court is what makes amateur tennis fans give him that label.
    The fact is he was always a beast, just a bigger beast on clay.

    MLB and NFL players should be forced to watch this guy play a whole match, and see what it's like to give 110% on EVERy SINGLE POINT.
    Guarantee you it would help a few of those lazy spoiled fukks in other sports.

    How long does it take for SBR to grade tennis?

    great question! In your case it has to first clear the collections dept. which normally takes between 5-10 business days.
    stay patient.

    Nadal has been beaten on clay; rare occurrence but happens. He has been unbeaten on hardcourts this year, though. Arguably, Djoker had more chances to beat him in the French finals than today.

    I saw the replay again and I'm still stunned how Nadal turned things back, was 0-15, then he was in position of the shot but fell on the ground, 0-30, then hit the net, 0-40 .... and gets out of it and then breaks Djokovic .... just unreal ... this 3rd set was super.

    Serena is all about power plus some talent (I think she lost some of it during the years or maybe I can't see it cause of all that power) ... with Djokovic and Nadal it's fitness, power and talent
