Nadal would struggle with both the people I mentioned. Muster was a taller version of Nadal in my opinion on clay.
Muster? Really?
If we're going to compared Nadal to anyone on clay it has to be a guy who won more than 1 French
Nadal v Borg is the real comparison

I compare Borg to Federer won on different surface and did so convincingly. Borg may have been in this convo if he doesnt go off the deep end and retire "early"

You have never seen the best of the best play live. Your opinion means nothing.
Which is irrelevant since "the best of the best" other than Sampras and Federer were not playing in the 90s nor 00s.
Neither Agassi nor Nadal are in that class.

I have seen Borg play live. His court coveraqe was ridiculous. Borg and McEnroe are two of the five best ever. Federer is the best, any other position is debatable.

2 really big what ifs, but IF
1.) Agassi plays his entire career dedicated to winning as much as possible
2.) Agassi wasn't playing in the Sampras era
Those 2 things and I think AA wins 20 slams or so and is considered the best tennis player ever. When they were at there best him and Pete were neck and neck. Pete had him at Wimbe and the U.S. and Andre had him at Roland Garros and the Aussie.

Nadal isn't even in the top 50 ever, his career is already over, anyone watch last year or this year?
Tennis in andre agassi day was much better, maybe because I was on the national junior circuit at the time training at nick bollettieri tennis academy, at the same time as Andre,Monica Seles, Pete Sampras,Aaron Krickstein and Jimmy Aries
Oh and Dick Vitale's daughters we're there too, just a fun fact

Take it easy. That is to be determined.

Nadals knees will make him retire early, his type of game has taken a toll on his body.

Perhaps, but he is already in the top fifty.

that's 3-4 more french titles for sampras
What are you talking about Sampras never even made to the finals at the French.
Federer owns every title for 3 like years had it not been for Nadal's clay dominance.

Didnt one year they supposedly watered the clay more than usual before Sampras matches?
I know the one year he made the semi's it didnt rain and was very dry and fast for Roland Garros.

I'm pretty sure he meant Fed and accidentally typed Sampras. To say that If Nadal hadn't been during Fed's era he'd have another 3-4 FO's
