Best Clay tennis player.
Sampras would kick this guy's ass on a decently fast grass court in his prime 100%. No way Nadal deals with that serve on a fast courts. No way in heck.

Correct
Fed was 27 when he won his 14th. Try again.

Yep, still pisses me off. But at least he could come through today.
Wait, how am I being antagonist when you antagonized me? Doesn't even make sense.Whoa, no need to be so antagonisticsorry I said anything, but it's a point that gets belabored for all players.
I would agree that Djokovic was the only one who had a chance to beat him in this tournament.
Anyway, whatever.
And what's your point exactly? Grass is Sampras's best surface. I have no clue why we're treating clay like it's some anomaly, meanwhile grass is perfectly acceptable. It's ridiculous.

Funny how all these people talking Nadal up when last I checked Wimbledon is the most prestigious tournie with the US Open following.
Until Nadal matches that grass court wins level of Fed or Sampras debate stays well open.
My point is people already starting to call him the greatest of everything out there. It's ridiculous. 9 of his 14 are on Clay. He is definitely up there although arguments could be made for a roided out Borg giving him a lot of trouble on clay.

That's a result of his style of play though.
Take the bad with the good, and there's a lot of good.
Sorry you feel that way, I thought I was being fairly polite. No hard feelings.
I am pretty sure he won his 14th at the French Open in 2009.
I am pretty sure he was 28. Or maybe he was turning 28 later that year, though.
He was turning 28 in August of that year. He was born in 81. He was 27yr10mo when he won 14.
Their respective ages were so close by their fourteenth majors (mere months) that it's completely irrelevant to argue about who was better at 28.
Waiting for Rafa's eiffel tower shot now
That dress is quite revealing from the back. Did not expect that. :O
Anyway, hot.
Faith brought up his age, I was replying to that.

Djokovic.
Final: Gulbis def. Murray
Murray vs Djokovic again with the same outcome
It's not as though he could control that.
It's preposterous to hold Federer accountable because he happened to be godlike during an overall dearth in men's tennis talent.
Murray

La Decima next year amirite
Lisicki will beat her and Serena and will lose the final to someone random like Bouchard or Radwanska.
;-;
what is the Henin curse?
Do well (win) at the French Open, then have a terrible year afterward.
Losing Wimbledon after winning RG.
This.
Wasn't Lisicki responsible for four of those? lol
Is that true? If so, LOL! Also, here's hoping Lisicki can't play Wimbledon for whatever reason this year. (Only kind of kidding.)
Better quality. Enjoy.
I dont really know if its exactly four. I am pretty sure she is responsible for at least two upsets though (Maria in 2012 and Serena in 2013)

^ That's actually quite impressive you remember that lol
Damn! I was completely unaware of this. I mean, I remembered Lisicki beating Maria two years ago and Serena last year, but the others? I guess Maria better hope Lisicki is on the opposite half of the draw from her this year, then
