<\/div>

A legendary Sunday it was for the world of Tennis, as Rafael Nadal reached a milestone and won his 20th<\/sup> grand slam in the year 2020.<\/p>\n

Rafael Nadal showed his superiority once again as the King of Clay Court as matched Roger Federer 2o Grand Slam hauls after beating Novak Djokovic to win the French Open for the 13th times.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s 20 – 20 between The Swiss and the Spaniard, and obviously this sparks up debate, talks and all sorts on whom the greatest of this Sport, for the Male category is.<\/p>\n

The conversation to be recognised as the greatest of all time should be between these two tennis players, as they look to be the most adored guys of this sport undoubtedly and Punters Betting on Tennis<\/a> will have to think so deeply to bet on this comparison.<\/p>\n

Now who is the greatest?? We take a look into this dissecting their game<\/p>\n

Forehand <\/strong><\/p>\n

Rafael Nadal looks better on this with his unique shot, that has got so much power and spin, which makes it bounce so high and breaks down opposing backhand, unlike Federer\u2019s flatter stroke which excludes the extreme western grip, though can be brutal from anywhere on the court, but not the energy Rafa possesses.<\/p>\n

Backhand <\/strong><\/p>\n

This one seem even, and on Roger\u2019s part, his classic old school kind of stroke has served him so well, most especially on quicker courts, and Roger\u2019s Backhand beauty always imparts an amount of spin very deceitful.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s even, because Nadal seems to have gotten better on this weakness and improved on different varieties of the backhand.<\/p>\n

Volley<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Surely is Roger\u2019s, as he\u2019s got the swift hand-eye coordination, plus picking up the ball so early and ensure ability to command his decision on what he would do with the Volley and this makes him comfortable here than Nadal who\u2019s also got\u00a0 fantastic eye though, but has baseline as his natural strength.<\/p>\n

Longevity <\/strong><\/p>\n

For a man whose 40th<\/sup> birthday is not far off, coupled with his recovery rate this cannot be argued on about the Swiss, and you can\u2019t rule him out on still winning a grand slam. Not leaving out Nadal as well, whose even much younger and highly professional.<\/p>\n

Movement <\/strong><\/p>\n

Nadal can take this, yes, his size, muscularity makes him an exceptional mover as he displayed on Sunday against Novak Djokovic with how he went for the ball in situations that looked nearly impossible to recover. For Roger, he\u2019s not only the level he was some years ago but ha ls still got a good movement plus quick steps for him to find himself in the right position.<\/p>\n

Serve <\/strong><\/p>\n

Roger is ahead on this one, with his accuracy to pick his spots and also hard for his opponents to know. His great second serve delivery is one classical stuff too. Nadal not better than Roger here, but he\u2019s impressive with it also, as it was a weakness for him some years back , and the Spaniard has adapted to male his technique on this extra powerful.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The breakdown definitely explains how great both guys are, and maybe wanting to know who the greatest or trying to fix either of these players with the tag is going overboard as both players are great beauties to watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
