Nadal ready to defend perfect Paris record
May 19, 2008
Nadal can look so dominant against weaker players on the red stuff that it's easy to lose sight of the fact that his great strength -- the thing that sets him apart from the other top players -- is his ability to chase down the most hopeless of lost causes and turn desperate saves into winners.
"He's the best defence player in the history of this sport," Djokovic said after losing to Nadal in the Hamburg semis. "He knows how to use his opportunities very wisely. He's waiting."

Federer was equally complimentary, saying: "He has all the respect of all the players. What he's achieved is maybe unique."
Federer recently started work with Jose Higueras, the Spanish clay-court guru, while Britain's Andy Murray has taken on Alex Corretja in a bid to improve his game on the surface.
