Is that why he's won five grand slams - four of them being the FRENCH?

He loses to James Blake in the US Open in '06, loses to Fernanado Gonzalez (who?) at the Australian in the quarters, David Ferrer (quasi who?) in the fourth round of the US Open in '07, lost to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (who?) in the semis of the Australian in '08.

Sooo...he's like 114-2 on clay courts, won 81 in a row on clay courts, 20-1 in clay court finals, is considered the best clay court player ever, has not enjoyed nearly the same success on hard courts or grass...but isn't a clay court specialist.

Ok

(was lurking and hoping someone was going to say that Agassi was a clay court specialist. what a faux pas that would have been)
