Although Nadal is not as talented as Federer, the style of play is not as gorgeous as him, and the appearance is not handsome. But I still love him very much.
Maybe you're obsessed with Federer, obsessed with his elegance and near-perfect image on the pitch.
But I love Nadal even more because I admire his tenacious fighting spirit, the spirit of hard work, and the quality of never giving up.
Nadal has won 20 Grand Slam titles so far, including 13 at the French Open, 4 at the US Open and 1 at Wimbledon 2 Australian Open. From the data, it can be seen that the red soil is invincible and the hard ground is general. Let's analyze why Nadal is so good on clay.
Let's start with Nadal's characteristics: a strong spin ball, abundant physical strength and strong willpower
Nadal is a defensive bottom-line player. He uses a powerful upward spin, fast-moving footsteps, and strong willpower to continuously press his opponent back and forth, forcing him to make mistakes. Nadal's most powerful weapon is the strong upward rotation of the left forehand, and he swings the racket around the top of his head, giving the ball a huge rotation.
So the reasons for Nadal's invincibility on clay are: super strong spin ball, endless physical fitness (the Format of the French Open is 5 sets and 3 wins) and strong willpower.
Nadal's attitude towards tennis is another reason I like you
In a 2021 interview with the British newspaper Metro, Nadal said: "Of course I want to win the championship, but I have never been to this extent – I mean, Novak is more fascinated by it, more focused.
"He (Djokovic) is only focused on these things, these things mean a lot to him, he mentions and talks about these records repeatedly, and he does do a good job, but that's not my attitude towards professional tennis."
"Of course, I also have ambitions, and if it hadn't been, I would never have been where I am today, however, I may have different ambitions from him (Djokovic). I just keep going, keep doing what I'm doing, just try to keep myself enjoying the game and achieving my goals as much as possible. ”
In the interview, Nadal compared himself with Novak Djokovic and explained that the goal of his game is to enjoy the game and that it would be perfect if he could win the championship.
It is said that the process is often more beautiful than the result, and perhaps in the matter of tennis, Nadal really feels so.
People who like Nadal are because Nadal provides them with a model worth learning from – fight hard, don't give up, and you'll end up succeeding.
The body will eventually grow old, and the spirit will grow old and strong. Hopefully, Nadal will bring us more great games.
