Is Nadal on clay the most dominant sportsman of all time...

Pretty sure there are more wrestlers than tennis players.

Considering that there has never been a high jumper who has been even close to dominant I assume you're talking about pole vaulter Bubka who also only had one olympic medal.

Nadal on clay vs sea level Cain
who wins?

I may sound like a retard for saying this but somehow I feel that the more he wins Roland Garros, the more it damages his legacy, because it highlights how much of a one dimential player he is, that's sound retarded but holy shit, he has 18 GS and 12(twelve) of his GS are from roland garros.

He's the greatest tennis player ever, no debate. He has arguably achieved one of the most insane record in sports history.

sweetie that's federer

That's not retarded, it's very true. Clay slows the game down tremendously and allows him to return far better against serve and volley players. It allows him to pound away at his opponent from the baseline without fear of them hitting quick winners because the ball has less kick. Additionally, he is a leftie so he has an automatic advantage when returning serve against right-handed players (see: most of the tour) and is able to abuse them physically more because they're getting less easy points. He plays a ground-and-pound style and is very reliant on his fitness level overcoming the finesse of other top players that can't keep up with his pure stamina. There's nothing wrong with this per se, and it's a good strategy, but it greatly affects his H2H against other top players.

That being said, he beat Federer in 2008 at Wimbledon in what was probably the greatest match of all time, but he still had a pretty competitive edge by being a leftie returning into Federer's serve, and the game obviously went to a nail-biting 5th set. If Nadal was a right-handed player, I think he probably wouldn't have won that match and would have struggled more against top players on grass, and particularly, hard courts. He's still obviously a top 4 player of all time no matter what, though, and you can argue he's the best player of all time because Federer only won the French once, and it wasn't against Nadal.

he really is a product of his uncle, nadal is right handed but he forced him to play with his left hand

Well it clearly has paid great dividends for the both of them, so I guess it was a wise choice

usain bolt obviously
won every olympic race he's ever participated in
broke 3 world records in 1 year
broke his own world records over and over again

>waste time during every point picking your ass
>have a loud irritating WTA tier grunt to disrupt opponents
>have sketchy uncle that clearly abused him as a child so now he has autistic bottle habits
>tried to get an umpire banned for daring to give him a time code violation
>sues anybody who dares questions his doping despite working with fuentes
That's not domination. Those are the same shitty tactics Lance Armstrong used

why does he win so sparingly at real tennis?

Has he ever played real tennis?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_tennis

His skin tone perfectly matches the dirt so his opponent have no idea where he is or what he is doing most of the time

the court looks like it would hurt his knees

Nadal has won 6 GS titles combined at AO, Wimbledon and US. Federer has 6 titles at each of those locations

yikes, also based Federer won a LOT of ATP finals, nadal zero

cucked year after year in france by the goat

so he should just stop winning because it hurts fedcucks feelings, okay
