  Thank you, my friend. I have watched this, but I will watch it again. I watched Nadal beat Gaudio in Monte Carlo today. I need a one hander to beat Rafa! :)

  I wanted to add that I too was under the impression that Ljubicic was the man who improved Federer&apos;s backhand, which allowed him to start dominating Nadal like never before. However, Ivan himself said in an interview that, I am paraphrasing here, Roger was experimenting with his backhand and to a large extent figured it out himself. I am not sure in which interview he said it, but he did. It might be with Garcia and her partner.

  Back when being 31 years old was considered ancient 😂

  Nadal is unquestionably one of the greatest tennis player ever, but his outrageous body language on court when he scores is why, in part, he was unable to attract the love and appreciation that Roger Federer had from crowds around the world during his career. And that&apos;s why Roger &nbsp;has won a record 13 times the Stephan Edberg Sportsmanship Award, while Nadal won it only 5 times. Novak Djokovic too can&apos;t match Federer&apos;s popularity...and he has always been &nbsp;deeply jealous of him. That&apos;s why Federer&apos;s legacy will live forever in the heart of the people while Nadal&apos;s and Djokovic&apos;s will fade away.

  To use the words &quot;exposed&quot;, &quot;solved&quot; Rafa, you have to have winning streak or a lobsided record against him. &nbsp;But a few wins don&apos;t qualify.<br><br>Starting 2017, you could &nbsp;probably say Federer &quot;solved&quot; the Rafa problem (but still not on clay). &nbsp;He had a decent &nbsp;winning &nbsp;streak.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiFapbJc71c&amp;t=89">1:29</a> this replay is actually one of the coolest I’ve ever seen. Close up on Ljubcic hitting a beautifully athletic flat inside-out forehand for what looks like an attacking shot, only to zoom out and see Nadal even more athletically running across and ripping the ball crosscourt for a clean winner. Cameraman needs a raise
