Roger Federer on Rafael Nadal

While Nadal is the best ever clay court tennis player, Swiss legend Roger Federer thinks that his prowess on the other two courts is no less. In an old video that resurfaced on social media, Federer claims that, just because he is brilliant on clay, it doesn’t mean that he is not strong on hard and grass courts.

“Nadal is very very strong. I mean, people are still underestimating him. I just can’t believe it, to be honest. Because on the grass he is very strong, on the hard court almost even stronger, and on clay the strongest. But strong means very strong, and not simply good. And that’s just what makes him special.” He said.
