  • We are lucky to have players like Fed and Nadal in the same time, I guess its normal though, others had Laver and Rosewall, Borg and Mcenroe, Sampras and Agassi. djokovic seems like that Lendl dark horse.

  • the average person has nooooooo idea how much of a physical sport tennis is. they think its just like having a social hit down at the country club

  • @Maniac742 further illustrates what a newb you are, you took the term "western grip" as what i identified as key difference when you should have said "reverse forehand". No player uses the reverse forehand as main forehand swing pattern like Nadal.

  • @mysteriekiller That isn't totally true. Nadal does muscle a lot of balls, but he can hit hard and flat as well. It's one of the reasons he's managed to transition from a clay court only player to an all court player. Nadal can hit through the ball for a winner as well as any player. His rally ball just has more height and more spin.

  • @gabe228 What are you on about? Sam Stosur, Caroline Wozniacki, all of the other Spanish players, the Chileans, and even Ryan Harrison all use western grips, the very same western grip Nadal uses. They all hit very similar forehands, with Nadal's being the exception with the amount of height and spin it generates. The only real difference between Nadal and his countrymen is that he's the superior athlete. He isn't the only one who can use it consistently.

  • this leg thing is not always true, it seems it depends on the shot they are hitting

  • DUDE IS AN ANIMAL!

  • @mysteriekiller its a one off technique. believe me when i say nadal is technically very sound.

  • wuau neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr se his legs like this

  • @mysteriekiller You're an incompetent idiot if you think that.

  • I think Nadal has Moor (Moro) blood.
