In my opinion, I think that Federer is much better than clay. It seems that Djokovic shy away from the clay a bit, very quiet performer.

I do not know how anyone is doing this year; yet, in the past, Djokovic does not have the clay performance as Federer and Nadal, of course.

Djokovic is a lot better on clay than i thought he was!!! Didnt he win a masters series last year on clay? i believe he beat Wawrinka, right? So, i would say Djokovic is 3rd best on clay right now, i mean taking down Robredo like that on clay is pretty d a m n impressive to me. it was like 6-1 6-1 right?

1. Nadal
2. Federer
3. Djokovic
4.

Nole is best on clay than Fed.
Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

Fed v Djoker

Postby Chederer » Fri, 01 May 2009 21:29

well.....lets hope Roger doesnt smash his raquet again like the last time they played.....Djoker did a fantastic job of trapping Federer in the backhand corner the last time as well.....I think Federer really needs to think about that backhand again and start using more variety defensively rather than trying to be offensive with his backhand, he needs to bring his opponents up to net more like he used to and force the error rather than trying to hit winners all the time.....he is not the most powerful guy on tour...hes more of a tactical player...

Yes. I can say this. He is the number three player on clay. His game does not seem to suite the crushed brinks though! :(
