2017 US Open Final: Nadal vs. Anderson

[calitennis127]

He has been bitch slapped too many times for me to believe otherwise.

I've asked you in recent years if you'd concede finally that Nadal is a talented tennis player, and you've still said no.

 

[calitennis127]

Moxie back in 2007-2008 I was on ESPN boards and argued with a guy who hated Nadal, actually. He told me Nadal was the most overrated player in 20 years and could not win off of clay.

 

[calitennis127]

Then he told me to fuck off after the 2008 Wimbledon final.

 

[Fiero425]

I can't stand watching Nadal; even when he blows a match! It's just plain UGLY tennis IMO!

 

[Moxie]

And he's bitch-slapped Federer, Djokovic and Murray any number of times.

 

[calitennis127]

Not as a shotmaker.

 

[calitennis127]

But as a physical specimen.

 

[calitennis127]

Nadal has broken Fed and Djokovic down to a point where they fall apart and make errors all over the place.

 

[Moxie]

Nice hold at love from Anderson.

 

[Fiero425]

He takes great pictures; I'll give you that!

 

[calitennis127]

I will grant that.

 

[calitennis127]

Agassi said at the 2006 Wimbledon that Nadal's movement translates to all surfaces and I agree.

 

[Moxie]

So...he's owned them a lot. That's something.

 

[calitennis127]

Yes Moxie, but do you think he beat Federer in 5 straight French Opens because he is that much better on clay? No, that was my point.

 

[Fiero425]

For isolated periods! No one's owned Nadal like Djokovic with 2 seven match streaks; the last one without losing sets! Thanks!

 

[calitennis127]

Yeah but Fiero Djokovic has been a joke at the US Open compared to Nadal.

 

[Fiero425]

Even destroying him in 2015 at the FO!
