Thank you for your response. Yes, "ever" is a strong word, but still he holds the longest winning streak - 76 matches. His last defeat was back in April, 2005! We can't say he is the best tennis player since there are players better in him in grass courts and hard courts (Roger Federer - who has more titles than Nadal). Nadal is still young and he has a lot before him :P He is still ranked second in the world after Federer.

Rafa is, no doubt, the best clay court player of his generation and he could become one of the best, if not *the* best clay courter of all time when ("when", NOT "if") he beats Bjorn Borg's record of 6 Roland Garros titles, something that seems very much possible at the rate Rafa's playing. Of course, people have expressed concern over how his playing style could affect his game in the long run but, when asked about it, Rafa says he's feeling fine. So yes, Rafa may not be the "best clay court player" yet as of the moment but he's very well on his way to proving himself worthy of such distinction. Vamos, Rafa!

Well I agree that rafael is the best tennis player EVER in clay; Since his defeat in 2005, from 2006 until 2008, he made it up to the top...

From Apr 2005 to May 2007, Nadal won a record of 81 consecutive clay court matches, before being defeated by Federer in the 2007 Hamburg Masters Final.

Nadal is by far the best clay court player ever, their has never been another player even on the same level as nadal, hes quick, hes fit and he moves the court so well, and regardless of court position he makes a shot happen.

I am a big fan of Rafael Nadal. And yes Nadal is the best clay court player ever. French open is coming next monet and This is eason of Nadal. He will win French open again. Only Federer is danger for him on clay but Federer is not in his best form so far. So i am smelling another French open title for this great player.
Thanks
