Among these players who is the the toughest player for Federer in Hardcourt?

Question

David Nalbandian or Novak Djokovic or Rafael Nadal.

I Personally feel Nalbandian was most underated Player .he has the Potential to beat anyone when he is at Peak form. and what do you say

Answer 1

at present Nadal is the toughest player for Federer at any court.

Answer 2

Djokovic - something he proved in the Aussie Open. He's much more consistent than Nalbandian (and I would say has a better all-round game anyway) and Rafa definitely isn't the best on the hard courts.

Answer 3

Definently Djokovic. I think he may be arrogant sometimes, but at last years US Open he showed he had the potential to win a grand slam. Federer had won there 3 times in a row, and to bring him that close to losing it was a good effort. Nadal has never faced Federer in a hard court grand slam before. Even if he did, look at their recent hard court matches, and tell me who won. Novak definently can put up a fight on hard courts, considering it's his best surface, and possibly even beat Federer.

Answer 4

Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic.

Answer 5

Nalbandian has alot of potential but when is he in his peak form (no offence).... i thnk Djokovic,Nadal then Nalbandian.. But the king on the grasscourt is Undoubtedly Rafa..

Answer 6

I think Nadal is toughest for Federer on any surface he has proved that over the years where Djokobitch is just a joker Why he is playing tennis he should work in a circus. He do not respect any player and what the h**l he thinks of himself he ain't Borg, Laver or Samprass

Answer 7

I'll have to say Djokovic.

Yes what you're saying about Nalbandian is true, but how often has he been in top form in the past 5 years?

Answer 8

Djokovic or nadal

Answer 9

Nalbandian no doubt his groundstrokes and forehand is amazing..i saw him playing against nadal this year and he outplayed him in the final...

Answer 10

nadal

Answer 11

Rafa federer can never beat him in hard court

Answer 12

Djokovic then Nalbandian then Rafa.

I agree with G stokes. Hard court is definitely Nadal`s weakest surface. Sure he`s won titles on that surface and can beat Novak and Roger on it, he`s proven that. Rafa just keeps getting better and better and it wont be before long he will be dominant on hard surfaces :) lol

Answer 13

Djokovic

Answer 14

djokovic......

Answer 15

Novak Djokovic

Answer 16

Djokovic won the Aussie by beating Federer in straight sets on thye way there. Of course one can say Djokovic was having a good day whereas Federer was having a shocker but still to beat Federer in a best of 5 and in straight sets demonstrate that Djokovic is the toughest player. The odd player like Bagdatis and Gonzalez managed to take a set but that was it.

Nadal does not have the game to play on hard court. Its too quick and he is too defensive on the hard courts. But having said that, Nadal could learn like he did to play on grass. If Nadal can do this as well as continue to develop on grass then he will be quite a dominent force all year round.

Nalbandian like you said can beat anyone on his day but he doesn't have those days often enough.

Yeah Djokovic is the main challenger to Federer on the hard courts.

Answer 17

Rafael Nadal.

Answer 18

All three has the potential to bat Federer.But important is who is in better form.Because in top quality tennis anyone can beat anyone(specially these players) important is their form,out of injury & motivation 2 win.

But my personal favouriye is Novak Djokovic.

but again Nalbandian & Nadal can also beat Federer(& so do Federer :-)

Answer 19

hi, I think rafeal nadal. bcoz he is young and energetic then any other player

Answer 20

It must be David Nalbandian then Djokovic and then Nadal
