Tbf if it wasn't for Djokovic he probably would have done anyway Laughing

People that call him a Clay specialist do him a disservice IMO, he's won all the other slams and got to finals consistently.

by RealGunner Sun Jun 09, 2013 5:32 pm

He is a Clay specialists, despite how good he is in other slams. For example there is much higher chances of him losing in the Wimbledon final against Djoko or Federer than there is on Clay. It's nearly impossible on clay.

To me clay specialist implies he struggles on other surfaces, he's a very complete player.

Maybe i read into the wording incorrectly. He's obviously god like on clay though.

I won't talk about competition Mole, it always exists, but the fact that he's been playing at a slight disadvantage because of the proportion of clay is something to think about.

Doesn't change anything, but still merits consideration when you look back.

Nadal gone in the 1st round.

And Federer has lost how many French open finals?

.... as opposed to the 8 French Opens...

Clay Court specialist.
His dominance on that surface rarely surfaces on other courts.
Are telling me that even if he wasn't fit that if this was on clay he wouldn't of beat this guy in straight sets? Maybe even 4?
