Because what other players do with the remainder of their careers is of no importance to him considering he himself has cried a thousand times on what he’s getting paid. Taking digs at your professional colleagues doesn’t make you a better person. He should just concentrate on his career and leave anyone else out of it... But lauding himself isn’t unusual to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Nadal has won most of his grand slams at Roland Garros, to say he is a won surface champion is ridiculous. How many French Open titles has Federer won? Roland Garros 11 titles (record) Wimbledon 2 titles US Open 3 titles Australian Open 1 title Olympic Gold 1 title ATP Masters 32 titles ATP 500 20 titles ATP 250 9 titles Davis Cup 4 titles Thats definitely not just the French Open You fail to understand what Antonio Cassano was saying with that statement but I'll add the rest of his comment in reference to that quote to Italian tv station Mediaset. "Both players are out of this world but there is a difference between the two. For me Cristiano Ronaldo is more like Rafa Nadal because he's trained hard to transform himself into one of the best where Leo Messi was born this way and is more like Roger Federer who is naturally gifted."

Nadal is within touching distance of Federer's slam record, to say Nadal is just training hard is a bit insulting really. Likewise Ronaldo, he has tons of 'natural' attributes and ability, similarly Messi has worked very hard to be as good as he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are actually right but the only reason I posted it was because it didn't come from a fanboy but a respected Italian footballer who was questioned on the impact of Cristiano Ronaldo to Serie 'A'. Don't know if Cassano can be described as a fanboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,369 Posted July 18, 2018 Administrator Share Posted July 18, 2018 You can't compare the two debates at all. Brave from Cassano to do so. Like in football where we should just be grateful to witness Ronaldo and Messi play the game, in tennis it's the same where we've been able to witness Nadal and Federer do battle for such a long time. In fact, one thing you can commend all 4 on is their longevity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
