Looks like Nadal might be better then both Federer and Sampras after all is said and done.


He dominated Federer today.

Ummm yeah riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight :rollingeyes:

[mavsfan4zindagi]

He just turned 20 and he can improve a lot.

I wouldn't bet against that kid.

Ah hell no. He's so far a one trick pony. He has zero shot at winning on grass, and I don't think he's made it past the 4th round at the US Open. I have a hard time believing he can win any major besides the French

Nadal is going to be great. but he cant dominate on every surface like Federer.

[mavsfan4zindagi]

Why not?

He's beaten Federer on the Hard surface already this year.

What makes you think he can't do it in a GS like the Austrailian/US Open?

[joewait]

I don't think he has the all around game to win on hard court. I really have a tough time betting on anyone not named Federer when it comes to the other 3 slams. I mean Nadal is amazing, but his heavy shots aren't as effective on a hard court where guys can just put them away, like a Roddick or Federer. especially at the Aussie Open, which I believe (they could have changed it so..) has the faster rubber surface, which would favor guys who hit the ball flatter and can get to net.
And on grass, well, Nadal has no chance, we can agree on that. But you're right hes only 20, so he can still win the other majors

[mavsfan4zindagi]

I agree that Federer is the better all around player, but it sure does look like Nadal has the mental edge over Roger.

He's 6-1 against him now and I'm pretty sure that could sneak up in Federer's mind if they play again.

[joewait]

True. when i first heard that it shocked me, but how many of those wins came on a hard court?
It's funny because everyone is getting on the Nadal bandwagon now. I was at the park yesterday and I saw 3 people wearing the Nadal shorts and nike headband while hitting on the wall, lol

well its not that he cant do it, its that he hasnt.

to me, Agassi having won all 4 majors on each surface is almost as impressive as Pete's 14 grandslams. even the Australian hardcourt is different than the US OPEN's.

\Is the Aussie Open still on Rebound Ace?

[mavsfan4zindagi]

He's probably the most modest 20 year old I've ever seen.

He just said that Roger is the GOAT and is the best on ALL surfaces including Clay.

Bud Collins looks like shit right now. he must be in his 70s. I remember in the 90s when he'd wear those crazy outfits that made him look he was still in the 70s
