Djoker or Murray when playing their normal game are still better than these two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is lot of money now to afford those kind of trainers for top 50 players. Federer and Nadal have made tons of money to afford team of 10 such people for every tournament.

kruiser Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Mentally, Nadal is in much stronger position. you can see specially when he defends breakpoints... He does not have to do anything extra now, just keep holding! Fed will not win any more slams... sad to see :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 90s Men's tennis used to be service dependent. That's why big serve was basic necessity.We had seen Sampras , Ivanisevic etc big serve and volley players .from 2000s it changed Andy Roddick with his big serve was not so sucessful Cricketics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
