It is pretty obvious that the greatest clay court player of all time would have the best court coverage of them all. Nadal’s legs have helped him in achieving an unparalleled clay court record. It is very difficult for any player to play a shot past a running Nadal as the Spaniard is able to get to the ball most of the times.

Even when Nadal is surging towards the net to catch hold of a drop shot played by his opponent, he rarely misses the ball. He is quite possibly blessed with the greatest pair of legs in the history of tennis.
Nadal's 10 French Open titles emphatically prove that. Novak Djokovic also deserves a mention in this category because of his outstanding court coverage. His win against Nadal in the epic 2012 Australian Open final is a good example of the Serb's brilliant foot speed.
