next best dirt baller after nadal

who do you guys think is the next best clay court player after Nadal? i think i would probably go with Djokovic, but i like Almagro too.

i like Nico too, he has better skills than Ferrer and Nadal but needs to keep a high level during more time during the season

is Djok playing Madrid? also can someone erase the whoops and smily face?

Djokovic is coming back next week in Belgrade

btw my money is on Nole to dominate on clay when Rafa quits tennis.

I like Ferrer... he's so gritty and ridiculously consistent...

Are we talking about right now? or when?

A few years ago i would have said fed. Now probably ferrer

I'd say it's Ferrer, for sure.

To be mentally strong is the most important skill, so Almagro hasn't better skills than Ferrer, he simply hits rockets, in my opinion he is not very clever playing, does't read well the matches and his attitude when is losing is very bad, is just a good player nothing more.

Im going to have to go with Ferrer. Before Nadal came into the picture( 1990's) Ferrer was in the semi's or farther in all of the clay tourneys . Ferrer was the Rafa of his day.

nadal in the 90's surely not he wud hav been only 14 in 2000

I think he saying 1990's when ferrer was like rafa is now. Because the 1990's was before rafa was in picture.

do you know that clay has never been Rafa's favourite surface? grass it is, and he's favorite tournament has always been Wimbledon, so i guess he never gives his best when he plays on clay, he's not interested :lol:

Well I didn't understand word of that. But I imagine he would say grass favourite because he was brought up on clay and grass would be so different and wimbledon something to aspire to.

for me since rafa won his first RG no else has better results than roger heck fed shares the record for most consecutive RG finals with nadal. borg and lendl and with a french open title and five master series titles on clay this should not be debated as no one else considered has more big title wins on clay than roger Ferrer has not won a master title made the semis of the french neither has almagro, novak one master title on clay so based on the facts on i have presented fed is the 2nd best heck neither ferrer or djokovic or almagro hold a win over nadal on clay tlk less of a clay court final like fed does
