RAFAEL Nadal has accused his fellow tennis players of being pathetically bad at playing on clay.

After winning his 60th French Open, the Spaniard stressed it was not that difficult, before questioning his opponents’ basic intelligence and suggesting that they try a bit harder.

He added: “The only time I lose a set on clay is when I’m trying to work out exactly how bad my opponent really is. I been playing against people who claim to professional tennis players. It was like playing against children.”

He added: “I don’t even practice and I still find it incredibly easy. Maybe you’re all a bit dense. Can you not see the ball properly? Are you actually using tennis rackets?

“It’s a puzzle. The only thing I know for certain is that you’re all shit.”
