  After I posted the Serena Williams photograph, I was wondering about the players who specialize on clay. And I remembered my childhood crush - Sergi Bruguera - the winner of the French Open titles in 1993 and 1994. Arguably the best Spaniard on the circuit, Bruguera at his best was better than the much-publicised Carlos Moya, Alberto Berasatagui, Felix Mantilla, Alex Corretja and Alberto Costa. He made three slam finals at the French because he could rally with only the best. So he boycotted the Wimbledons because his game was very rigid.
He could volley well, but his backswings were too long. And the grass surface has never been too kind to players with big backswings. And although he played a very patient baseline game, his grips on the racquet are extreme since he creates a lot of top-spin. I've been told that is a very conservative style but what the hell, he won two grand Slam titles based on it!
