The guy reached 1 semis, 3 finals and won one FO...
He has also won 5 clay court masters events, won 4 other clay court
events, and lost in the finals in 11 clay court events.
You don't think he qualifies as a clay court specialist?
Why not?

specialist if you ask me.

clay, but by the disparity between results on clay and results on
other surfaces. A player could lose in the third round of every clay
court event and still count as a specialist if he lost in the first
round of every other tournament.
Federer is not a clay court specialist, but he is a very good clay
court player. [To ocean:] Winning Monte Carlo or Rome is not necessary
to qualify as either a clay court specialist or a very good clay court
player. Fed is not the former, but he is the latter, based on his
other clay results, especially at Roland Garros.
ocean
a great claycourt specialist.

Certainly playing clowns was a big contributing factor.

what factor did sampras losing to clowns 8X in R1/R2 at the FO have ?

Many more of these types of posts and people will start to doubt that
you are a Federer fan at all, as you claim to be.
Whisper
I am a fan of Fed's skill, but completely unimpressed with the morons
he's playing against. All of them are useless bar Rafa.
ca1houn
Even Roddick, let not forget he was deem by you as Sampras on
steroid. 16 slams and all came because of Federer was playing
clowns. Why couldn’t Rafa beat the clown then?
Whisper
It's tough to do it all in tennis, yr after yr. Rafa has shown us his
best game is best of this era, but he can't maintain it as long as Fed,
who has a slightly lesser game overall.

Most player would prefer to have a lesser game of Federer that got to
20+ slam finals and
winning 16 of them than having a ' more game' that can't be reproduced
time after time.
If Nadal is only able to produce his best game on clay and then in 1
out of 6 wimbledons
and 1 out 14 grand slams it tells us a lot more about his game. He is
either not good most
of the time on hard court and grass court or he is half assed in hard
court grand slam. Take
you pick.

Then it mean nothing, playing one tourney at your best level and then
dropping out of contention for 9 month is not something to brag
about. Nadal in his efforts to complete with Federer almost cause him
a career. That tell me Nadal can’t dominate tennis like Federer can.
