Dude, mind your language before you write something. Nadal,and Djokovic are also the greatest players in this era. They came to this position only after beating Federer. They put very high standards that no one was able to match them these days. Don't write whatever crap you think. Its easier said than done. Its not just aggression that win matches.

you grow a brain.

This is not an alpha male game. Its just a spectator sport, which can produce beautiful moments of brilliance. Certainly not by these two.

Its obvious aggression alone doesn't win matches. But playing like robots irritates the hell out of me.

Anyway, I've always like quirky brilliant players than successful players. Gustavo Kuerten was the only successful player I truly liked. Other names, many of you kids wouldn't even have heard. So don't teach me tennis history.

I go with you Narasayya...Nadal ante first nunde oka rakamaina aversion , He wins by making others to commit mistakes not because of his brilliance just sticks to the boring old baseline game , I like his fitness levels though...
I am a diehard fan of Boris Becker... he is a true entertainer !

To add to that Nadal doesn't have good service. He takes the match to 5th set and beat the opponent with endurance rather than brilliance.

and Gustavo Kuerten was probably the only player in modern times who nobody knew when he won french open back in 1997. His game is just out of the world. Federer is probably the only one that reminds me of Kuerten's game, thats why I never warmed up to Federer.

Also I think Kuerten may be the most liked tennis player of all time, for those tennis fans who have followed the game for a long time. His friendliness and warm smile on and off the court won him as many fans as his wonderful game.

He once refused to play the wimbledon, because he was seeded lower than his ranking. Ah, those were fun times. These days, players are like super nice, politically correct bshitters. Its hard to like any of them, especially one's at the top.

Adhemanna production facility na?

Some people think Christopher Nolan is utter crap, while many like him. To show Nolan's box office prowess as evidence for his greatness is to just weasel away from the argument the other person is making. It may be hard for someone who watches telugu films to understand this logic though.

Tennis, is no different. I used to watch it for entertainment, diversity. Not to gloat over the 'greatest player ever'. In fact, I'll proactively hate the greatest player ever.

And yeah, my opinion matters to me. so don't make boring statements about why I don't matter, if you can't counter my complaint that Nadal vd Djokovic's 6hr tennis matches will put many tennis lovers to sleep, may be you should stop using those ridiculous gifs trying to come off as a jerk.

I agree to some extent but you have to understand something here, dodging and enduring form a greater part of a game which eventually form backend. If Nadal is so good only in keeping others irritate, it means he survives every creative shot played by the opposite guy and people might look at these specific skills. Perserverance is the most difficult art. I am not a specific fan to anyone though but what you are blindly supporting is not perfectly correct as per my knowledge. But if you are that specific kind of guy that is fine.

Nolan is different he gradually got faded in showing his creativity, I think his Memento is the most intriguing movie till date

First off, I didnt' quote you .. and you quoted back to me ..that shows your insecurity towards your so called intellectual analysis.

Kudos to Nadal for being what he is. But I don't like his style of play. That's not why I watch tennis, anyway i watch it rarely these days.

Tennis has today evolved into exactly the kind of game you describe here. Almost all players play like Nadal these days, but without his extreme forehand grip that may simply break one's wrist if others tried it.

It's okay if there are a combination of attacking and defensive players. But everyone wants to win, and have changed their game, so it looks like boxing match than a tennis match. Which is why I said I hate these two players for exemplifying that kind of game.

Anyway, I think tennis is slowly dying in the west. Viewership wise atleast, apart from Asia where its picking up. But many still like to play it as a hobby like me.

anyways vaadu entha kasta padda...Nadal daggariki vache sariki damaal antaadu {@# ..unless he plays with great timing & sharpness in all shots..he can't beat Nadal though he might beat other players..!!!! #:~

what, intellectual analysis? if you think I try to give an intellectual analysis of anything, you must be really poorly read.

having an opinion and stating it is different from using stupid gifs to make supposedly profound statements.

Yeah, everyone with half a brain will agree that telugu films are inferior. This is not a telugu film forum, is it?

I don't watch much films anyway, in any language.
