    Of course...

    Nadal at the age of 23, loses to Robin Soderling in the 4th round.
    Nadal at the age of 26, loses to Lukas Rosol in the 2nd round.
    Nadal at the age of 27, loses to Steve Darcis in the 1st round.

    First game is his only loss in Rolland Garros he is like 55-1 or something

    The other two is in Wimbledon, he is not great on grass

    He beat Nishikori and Dimitrov with horrible hands, who are dangerous players. He also swept Federer.

    Your point?

    My point is, that jjgold said how he won Slams with 10x better competition, but had unnecessary loses.

    Other than posts where I've blindly tailed people and won, FINALLY something we can agree on. Not sure where the aggro is coming from but I promise I truly don't care if you think even Papa Smurf is a better athlete than Nadal or any other tennis player. I like the chats and thinking about people who never would've come to mind in threads like this.

    I'll throw in a few emoticons to try to fit in

    Lendl is a beast. If we did a proper comparison of tennis players he might be #1. So hard though because as time passes it gets more and more subjective.

    Bastian Schweinsteiger and Sergio Busquets are the best athletes in the world. A tennis players is definitely not. Break down very easily.

    One great athlete, who deserves an honorable mention: Bode Miller. Guy loves to party and has 5 Olympic Games medals. Still a beast in the age of 36.
