I'd argue it's always been boring. You got a moonball? Then you will do well.

Oh yeah, and I suspect after the big 3 retire clay court tennis will be on it's dying legs. Fans don't enjoy watching clay court tennis, it has always been dreadful and most of the negative tennis players are bred from clay.

I agree. I know I'll go back to skipping the French open and go straight to Wimbledon

At Best Djokovic can take it to a tie break. And then gets the Diego treatment.

Change the name to the Nadal Invitational. Maybe design a robot to see if it can get it done.

If my math is right, Nadal's W/L record at Roland Garros is now 100-2.
Absolutely crazy.

I broke down in tears after that match, I can't believe the muscular teenager from Majorca now has 20 Grand Slams. What an honor to share the record with Roger.

I must be the sucker because I love clay court tennis and the french open. Wimbledon is garbage, quick points and no breaks of serve, and bad bounces on grass and rain. Freaking anderson vs isner.

I completely agree, clay you need to struggle to win a title, Wimbledon you have a good serve you will go far.

Yes we know you like boring negative tennis where it's two ball walls playing who can avoid the error rather than actual offense and winners.

You can consistently win on clay with more errors than winners. To most people it's pretty boring to watch every point end with a fault.

I find grass is a hard surface to master, not alot of young players today that look all that comfortable on it. I'm not sure how Wimbledon will look in 5 years

When 65% of your titles are on a weird surface, I don't think it compares to Fed's 20.

Fed is the GOAT alone because he doesn't use wimpy 2 handed backhands!
