Undisputed second GOAT
Spaniards owning clay courts, what else is new
Best ice skater tennis player of all-time.
https://www.express.co.uk/sport/tenn...ng-french-openRoger Federer is opting out of the French Open for the third straight year.
He announced in March he would be skipping the entire clay-court season.
The Swiss tennis player told reporters after suffering a loss to Australian qualifier Thanasi Kokkinakis in the Miami Open: “I decided not to play.
“I’m a positive thinker, every match is another opportunity. You take a break, get away from it all, and get back to practice court and work.”
Back in 2016, Federer pulled out of the French Open because of knee and back issues and in 2017 he made the decision not to play the entire clay-court swing, and instead opted to prepare for Wimbledon.
In May, he spoke about his decision: “I am not 25 any more I need to reserve some energy for Wimbledon. I love the grass more than the clay court, so that is why I won’t take part this year.”
The superstar’s Roland Garros absence will be felt, but the odds are on Rafael Nadar holding on to his Paris crown.
ambchang's capitulation on this thread.
What did I do? Like how nadal plays in an age when nobody cares about tennis?
It's smart. Why waste energy and reduce his body for a tournament he has little chance of winning at the expense of a chance of winning a tournament that he's odds on favorite for? Seeing him dominate last year's Wimbeldon, it's not like he's not proving that. Also, there frankly is difference between 25 and 37 as he says. If this somehow shatters the illusion for you, then so beit.
You started talking about the Spanish language when you realized you didn't have a good argument for Nadal not being the second greatest player of all time.

Talking out of your ass, again.A global reach and over a 1 billion followers makes Tennis the most popular individual based sport
Lol Fed, Nadal are very clearly the two best players of all time.
Dumb ass americans still think sampras is close?
Thats like Saying Paul Pierce is bettern Jordan and Lebron
Even Novaks has had a better career.
In trurth if Novak didnt get injured. Heck if he wins a couple more grandslam.
Fed
Nadal
Novak
Will go down as the three best of all time.
Who was talking about Sampras?Lol Fed, Nadal are very clearly the two best players of all time.

Sampras > nadal. Deal with it.
Talking out of your ass, again.
lol son, no. You are the one that needs to deal with the fact that Nadal has surpassed Sampras, tbh. You sound like an old fart hanging on to outdated ideas and beliefs.
The only illusion that needs shattering is of people who think erer is some sort of goat tbh
He's at 20 slams.The only illusion that needs shattering is of people who think erer is some sort of goat tbhExactly how many does he need to win to be the GOAT?

It's crazy that Federer has beaten Nadal 5 times in a row, but before that, Nadal beat him 5 times in a row.
Rafa is closer to Federer than Sampras is to Nadallol son, no. You are the one that needs to deal with the fact that Nadal has surpassed Sampras, tbh. You sound like an old fart hanging on to outdated ideas and beliefs.
Nadal actually played in the same era of his main compe or and dominated him in the big matches (I think it is something like 9-3 in Grand Slams). He just turned 32 last week and might threaten Federer's Slam count..
You're forgetting about Rod Laver.Lol Fed, Nadal are very clearly the two best players of all time.

lol son, no. You are the one that needs to deal with the fact that Nadal has surpassed Sampras, tbh. You sound like an old fart hanging on to outdated ideas and beliefs.Spanish speaking player is dominant in an era when it has been a two player sport for 15 years.
Djokovic is probably top 5 all time. Murray is up there too.
Why so interested on arguing about something you have admitted to be a casual fan of? Your "casualness" shows, tbh.
It's incredible how people can be such prisoners of the moment, wow
Actually, it's incredible how people get caught up with old stuff and have a hard time accepting something current is better, tbh.It's incredible how people can be such prisoners of the moment, wow
