What do you mean by tennis talent? Unlike chess, tennis is physical sport and physical department is the big part of the tennis game so you cannot exclude it.
that I have to explain that.
Tennis talent: groundstrokes (FH, BH, serve, volley), tennis style
Everything in the physical department (muscles, stamina etc.) and everything in the mental department (tactics, behavior on court etc.) just do not belong here.
Nadal's FH, just watch it. You think anyone with some biceps and a long swing can hit that shot with that precision and that raquet speed and doing it on the run, sometimes on very hardhit shots from the opponent?
Please...
Dimitrov dont even got the talent to produce a great offensive weapon.
There real question should be who is more talented Dimitrov or Raonic, and Imo Raonic should win by a landside. Beautiful strokes arent equaling talent...
You didn't even had to use a extreme talented player like Dimitrov in your poll. Most of the OHBH players are more talented than Nadal, they have the talented to play with one hand, while Nadal has the talent to moonball and grind with two (and also the forehand).
Philipp Kohlschreiber and Mikhail Youzhny are more talented than Nadal. :shrug:
Forehand: Nadal
Backhand: Dimi
Serve: Dimi
Footwork: Dimi
Mental: Nadal
Net: Dimi
Slice: Dimi
Dropshot: Dimi
Stamina: Nadal
Speed: Nadal
This is my opinion, so dont judge people too hard who votes Dimi, as I can see the logic in that. Nadal is a hardworker, not everyone dedicates his entire life to tennis.

Physicality is more of a talent than ground strokes, which are more skill based (therefore, learned-but both are talents to a degree, 1st more, 2nd less). But, Nadal in both cases.
