      Rafael Nadal is not serious on grass actually he doesn't look serious on grass like Clay and hard court surface.
      If he is serious he will reach Wimbledon finals for 6th time actually and lose to Djokovic in 4 sets.
      He reached 14 French open finals.
      He reached 11 grandslam finals on hard court surface.

    For me, Rafa is THE most respectful and respectable player ever... His attitude has always been excellent towards the rules, the ball boys, the referee, his opponents and so many more... He's probably one of the only players who's never broken any racket. He never enters the court thinking about the victory because he respects every single of his opponents. He knows he can win or lose but what matters to him is to give everything out him until the last point to try to win. He never thinks he will lose until the end, he keeps fighting and that's why he's been so successful and so exciting to watch. Watching Rafa playing always makes me fascinated and emotional because he plays every ball with the same passion and intensity. Everytime he loses, he never forgets to congratulate his opponent. His willing is based on continual improvement. He recently said that he' always comes into the court with the goal to improve something because he's perfectly aware he has to add some new things to his game if he wants to keep winning as he did 10 years ago. He's very clever and that's for me THE best example for people who play tennis but also for people in general. How many 17-time Grand Slam winners would have helped people from their hometown after natural disasters? There would be so many more things to say about his behaviour...That's why he's my first inspiration as a player but also as a human being. BIG RESPECT Rafa...

      Nadal's win against Thiem at the 2018 U.S Open is one of the most satisfying matches that I have seen him play.The last point of that match shows you why Nadal tries to return everything cause you never know what will happen. More exciting than his last two FO finals cause he win those so easily and there really wasn't much suspense.Nadal's tenth FO title would have been so much sweeter to watch had it been a five set match.

No wonder Fed could see a friend in Rafa [and not in Novak, per se] despite being 5 years older...he was drawn to Rafa's respectful, charismatic persona and both of them went onto form a legendary/timeless/unparalleled rivalry.

      He's not a nice guy. He is an assertive, humble and honest. He doesn't shy away from taking stand on a controversial opinion or criticizing things that need to be criticized and defending rules and things that need to be defended. He will never say things just to grab attention or is full of himself. Among the big 3 he is the only one who knows that tennis is bigger than him no matter how many records he breaks. He never accepts that he is the greatest player of all time even if he has the best track record and character on the field. You being a fan of Dustin brown q player who has built he s while identity because of that one match in Wimbledon speaks volumes of how happy you are to see Nadal defeated by some Rastafarian baaba who played weird trick shots on a lucky day. I wonder why you aren't a stakhovsky fan.. hmmm

      Ciclopea2 isn’t that the truth. He’s so wonderful to watch. I’ve never even watched sports until I came across the 2008 Wimbledon final while scrolling through the channels and I vaguely heard Federer’s name so I stopped to see and I was mesmerized by that match even though I didn’t even know how to keep score. Hugest fan ever since. So happy to see this tennis era.
