Question

Now that Nadal has beaten Federer at Wimbledon is it safe to call Nadal the prince of grass and king of clay?

Answer 1

mmmmmmmm, you could be.-

i like how prince sounds, it adjusts to his age also, :)

Answer 2

I am a 100% Rafa fan, but even I think that is a bit premature. Let him win Wimby a few more times and then yes!  I have no doubt he can do it!!!!!!!

Answer 3

i think nadal is king of clay but not yet "prince" off grass i still think he has 2 continue beating federer on grass

Answer 4

Aww i would say so ;) Rafa is the best :P x

Answer 5

yep. also hardcourt. he won the Olympics!

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

Well, i would in no way count Federer out. he may have not be having a great year, but i would not say he is done, i think if nadal wins the u.s. open, it is safe to say he is the best. there is no doubt he is the king of clay but i think federer is still the king of Wimbledon. But it terms of Nadal vs. Federer in the battle for No. 1, i think if Nadal wins the u.s. open, it is safe to say he is on the rise and federer is on the decrease.

Answer 8

well nadal is surely the king of clay.. no doubt in that!  and he stole wimbledon from federer.. but i am not sure if he is truly the king of grass just yet.. i say if he wins wimbledon 2 more times then he is the new king of grass...

Nadal is only going to get better and better..... and he will be a big contender at the US OPEN.. if not even winning it... right now a rare circle of players stand a chance of beating him..

and i am afraid for federer in his case many players pose a threat now.. its almost like superman losing his powers...

federer has really slumped this year.. and he will not win the US OPEN either...

Answer 9

no

Answer 10

No, he's the king of tennis now

Answer 11

Umm hello? No on earth way!  No hard feelings towards nadal because he IS my all time favourite tennis player (hes awesome :D), but really, how can anyone count federer out? He might not be on his winning streak, and what player has won all their life? Most players come in and out and they have their down times once in a while, so the fact that federer isnt doing his best right now doesnt mean hes lost it all.  And lets also think of his age compared to many other younger players that are on the rise. Its a difficult time for Fed, but you know what, I think he needs our support to keep it going, so GO ROGER! And for nadal, he is at the peak of his tennis skills at his age, hes doing fabulous, but i'd still like to keep it Rafa king of clay and Roger king of grass.  

Answer 12

Nope

No1 is near Federer's reign as king of grass.

Nadal has a long way to go to even be the prince nevermind take Federer's position as king!

1 victory doesn't make Nadal close to Federer in terms of grass court play - afterall no1 has ever been as successful as Federer!

Too many ppl are counting Federer out now-a-days and it's only a matter of time before he comes back as strong as ever!

LONG LIVE KING FEDERER!!!

Answer 13

Its no doubt that Nadal's the KING OF CLAY! The whole world's been calling him "the best clay court tennis player in history". He's won Roland Garros four times in a row, and he'll extend that record to five next year! Definitely!

As for the Wimbledon final, he'll played his BEST tennis in that match. He took Federer's throne, and he can totally be called the "Prince of Grass" now. To become the "KING" he'll have to win Wimbledon a couple of more times. But looking at this current form, that won't be too hard! :)

Vamos Rafa!
