Raj_Radia Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 i know the final was last week but i didnt get a chance to make a post because of forums getting improved. im sure many of you if not all watched the wimbledon final between roger federer and rafael nadal. the commentators always talk about nadals sheer physical presence, i was just wondering what you guys think his physical attributes would be in the game ?? whats your opinion ?

garno5 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 19/20 for pace maybe? He is extremely fast for a tennis player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonBlade Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 If he's anything like his uncle, he'd be a beast. (Miguel Angel Nadal, the beast of Barcelona if anyone doesn't know) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Smudge Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 R. Nadal was a budding young footballer once, until he found tennis. Yeh alot are like that. Andy Murray also played football at youth level and I think Michael Schumacher did aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl_272 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 If he's anything like his uncle, he'd be a beast.(Miguel Angel Nadal, the beast of Barcelona if anyone doesn't know) He was my absolute favourite and always first signing on Premier Manager '99.

UNITED!!!!! Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 To be fair, how quick would Nadal be over say, 100m. Not a patch on Ronaldo I'd bet. What makes Nadal so special is his ability to do 20m sprints, rarely will he have to run any further on a tennis court. So I reckon he would have 20 for acceleration and 20 for agility. His strength and stamina are legendary so definitely a 20 for both of those. However, I think he would only warrant about a 15 for pace and probably even less for jumping, maybe 12. He is fairly small after all, no amount of strength could get him up for headers against the likes of Vidic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

unitedeurope Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I dunno with that new Russian Superleague theres some big money flying around in hockey, Cech's a big quick boy, but I don't think he's thick enough to play keeper in hockey... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeeman27bob Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Petr Cech's dad didn't want him to play ice hokey.... the equipment was too expensive. He was both a good ice hockey and football keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually taller than Vidic isn't it?Edit: Just seen Wiki that Vidic is close to 6'3. Odd, he doesn't look that tall on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
