by winning the french open for the 4th successive time & other titles on clay courts nadal has proved that he is the king of clay. however the same nadal looks pathetic when he plays on fast hard courts as was evident in the australian open 2008 & us open 2007,when big servers like tsonga & djokovic beat him easily in straight sets. i am quite sure that nadal will fail to reach even the semi finals of wimbledon, as his game is akin to the slow clay courts that is why till date he has yet to win any other grand slam title besides french open, whereas the younger djokovic has already won the 2008 aussie open. nadal is maintaining the tradition of earlier spanish tennis stars who had a monopoly over the french open like santana,gimeno,orantes, moya,etc,none of whom except santana ever won any other grand slam title.
