There was nobody in Sampras' era with the physical talent of a guy like Monfils. There are so many guys in tennis now that are 6-6 or so and can run. The athletism on the tour right now is insane. Sampras never had to face that
that doesnt make their game better, just a different style of play

that's 3-4 more french titles for sampras

Agassi when he was on was a better player then Nadal. I think of Nadal as Agassi light. If Andre weren't a dumbass and had actually dedicated his entire career towards tennis his name would be in the conversation with Sampras and Federar. The top 15 players are probably better, I just don't think the 2 - 5 players are as strong today as they were back then.
Nadal is 23 and already has as many majors as Agassi won in his entire career

What has Monfils really done? What did Henman really do?
They were names that got close but really never won when needed to. I consider them as athletic as any on the tour but not having the mental game to win. I will give Tsongas and Isner some time to do something right now, but think they will be much like the 2 I mentioned above.

The styles of players these days are so different then the players of 10 years ago. serve and volleying cant win you titles anymore. Even at wimbledon since the courts at wimbledon are slower then they use to be

And Agassi spent half his career not giving a shite about tennis. I did mention that in my statement.

This is so false it is ridiculous. SFP you know nothing about tennis. I have been watching tennis on a religios basis since the mid-seventies. I have been to three US Open Finals and one Wimbledon Final. The best tennis player I have ever seen is Roger Federer, followed by John McEnroe. Stick to your supposed expertise.

The balls at Wimbledon are also heavier.

Nadal is a better all around player then agassi. Agassi was a great return guy but he couldnt handle nadal's speed and spin. the only court agassi would be a little better on is grass

Agassi at his best takes Nadal on the hard courts too IMO. I do think Nadal probably has the highest A game at the French.

I have to agree with SFP on this one.

Agassi was a better hard court player without a doubt. Nadal is an average hard court player. On clay or grass, Nadal would beat the living shite out of him.

Would Nadal beat a healthy Gustavo Kuerten at Roland Garros or in his prime Thomas Muster?
I dont think so, but it would be a great 4:30 to 5:00 match.

I don't know about grass man. I think Agassi beats him there too. Hell, on clay is where Agassi should have actually been the best, for some reason he didn't put it together like everyone thought he would there.

You have never seen the best of the best play live. Your opinion means nothing.

Kuerton would give him a hell of a match, I'd say that.
Posted on 1/31/10 at 7:39 pm to sms151t
Guga was my favorite player back in the day, but Nadal would rail him. Nadal's heavy ball would overwhelm Guga

Yes Nadal easily Kuerten could have been amazing but nadal if he can stay healthy could be one of the greatest clay players ever
