    I am not saying Ferrer would beat them but he is better clay courter when we are comparing them with their standard tennis qualities. Of course I know Federer and Djokovic are better players than Ferrer, and even Soderling is more successful than him, but we are just talking about clay courts. You cannot classify players just based on one court. For example, Murray is in top 5 but can you count him as a top 10 clay courter? but he must be better than Almagro or Gasquet isn't it?

    may be he is not

    2010 ATP records on Clay according to ATP website:

    Nadal (22-0)
    Ferrer (31-7)
    Ferrero (28-7)
    Almagro (28-11)
    Fernando Verdasco (22-7)
    Montanes (22-12)
    Thomaz Bellucci (21-10)
    Juan Ignacio Chela (21-12)
    Potito Starace (18-13)
    Stanislas Wawrinka (17-6)

    I would put Federer on the list of better clay court players in place of someone like Verdasco who looks lost this year.

    Tsonga has got it right except for Verdasco who doesn't deserve place in the top 10
