The All England Lawn Tennis Club Championships 2018

Of course. Big servers find clay much tougher in general as it is not a one dimensional surface. You have to have more than bludgeoning the ball past the opponent.

Big servers excel on grass in general as a big serve is vital on grass.

You’re still arguing facts.

As for robots, that’s one way to describe the ace Kings who excel on grass courts.

The actual facts show Karlovic to excel on grass courts. So you’re either a bare faced liar or incredibly stupid.

Wimbledon is the only slam where Karlovic has won more games that he has lost.

And the records show that Nadal excels on Clay what’s your point?

People would describe clay specialists as robots, just hitting the ball back to each other 20+ times. I don’t see what the problem is, I don’t see why you have a wasp up your hole because a guy with a good serve does well at Wimbledon like a grinder does well at the French. Its all in your own warped little head.

You like watching 2 players hitting the ball back to each other 20+ times and others like the faster pace you get on grass, what’s the problem? Its a bit like people like watching sprinters at the olympics and otheres like watching marathons, I don’t see the issue.

Of course Nadal excels on clay, he’s a complete player and not just a serve monkey. You’re reinforcing my point.

Oh Fuck off ya dope. Nadal this, Nadal that, Nadal me bollix. Not all off go to bed each night wanking off to Nadal. You need to get out and stop obsessing about Nadal, its fucking scary how the way you worship him.

The only problem you have with Grass is that Nadal cannot dominate on it like he does the clay, its is a simple as that. Nothing but pure and utter jealousy. You need to get help.

That’s some hissy fit you’ve thrown. Maybe you need to accept the fact that having a monster serve is vital for grass court tennis.

I can accept players do better at some tournaments than others. It is you that cant accept differences.

I’m stating the reason for the difference. You can’t accept that reason. Grass court is absolutely the playground for one dimensional monster servers. They excel there, a huge body of evidence exists to support that which you can’t accept.

You seem to going full circle each time, you try to argue the point, realise my point is irrefutable and then try and argue something else.

One dimensional big servers excel on grass court tennis. There should be no arguments there.

You stating crap like you do on the All Ireland football thread, like you did on the abortion thread, like you did on the rape trial thread. That’s all you do keep stating crap and ruining discussions because you cant accept that not everybody has your narrow minded view of the world.

I have a body of evidence. You are blinded by ignorance.

You are a narrow minded fool.

I’m informed. You’re the guy dismissing a comprehensive body of evidence because you don’t like what it says about your hero.

The only body of evidence presented is the very poor Championship records of Ivo Karlovic, John Isner and Kevin Anderson.

You’re still embarrassing yourself on the Karlovic point, a guy who absolutely excels on grass. As I said, I have you and Taz chasing your tails.

Bum Kevin Anderson cruises through to 4th round in straight sets.

How do you interpret 6 first round exits and 4 second round exits from 14 appearances at the Championship as absolutely excelling on grass? Actually I’ll answer that one. Because Karlovic holds all sorts of records for height, serving speed and number of aces, you took a flyer on it that he had a great record at the Championship. I dismantled your flawed argument by highlighting the 10 exits from 14 in the round of 64 & 128.

Karlovic’s record highlights that a one dimensional big server won’t prosper on grass. An all round game, sound in all facets is needed to excel on grass.

I interpret the fact that Wimbledon is the slam Karlovic has progressed furthest in. The only slam he was won more matches than he has lost means his one dimensional monster serve game excels on grass.

To argue against that body of evidence makes you either very stupid or someone unwilling to deal with reality.

Then why has he only reached one 1/4 final in 14 attempts?

Are you lauding mediocrity again?
