The King of Clay is considered to be one of the greatest players the sport has ever seen, and perhaps the greatest claycourt player of all time. Nadal’s game is based on powerful groundstrokes, brilliant footwork and tireless court coverage.
Nadal’s forehand has been the biggest weapon in his arsenal, and the amount of topspin he produces both defensively and offensively is simply unparalleled. His forehand, complemented ably by his footwork, has been one of the integral reasons why he is so close to Federer's record tally of Slam titles.
Even during the Australian Open, Nadal’s forehand was seen at its very best and bothered Federer considerably during the final. Given the kind of form Nadal is in, he looks set to dominate the clay-court season with his forehand.
