Why is Nadal the "king of clay" and what achievements has he made in clay court?

I believe that for those who prefer tennis, they are very familiar with most tennis stars. Why don't you introduce someone who has? King of red clay? Tennis player, he is Spanish tennis star Nadal. On 20 19, Nadal won his18th Grand Slam title in France, which is also his12nd title in French Open. For Nadal, why do you call him? King of red clay? The main reason is that Nadal won nearly 60 championships in the mud.

I believe that some people who are familiar with tennis know that there is not only one kind of playing field in a regular tennis match, but there are four kinds, namely, grass court, carpet court, hard court and mud court. The so-called grass court refers to the tennis court made of turf, while the carpet court is made of carpet. In these two tennis courts, the requirements for players are higher, because the rebound height of tennis in these two courts is smaller than that in the other two courts, so this requires players to have faster speed, otherwise they can't catch tennis.

In the regular tennis match, the turf field is generally outdoors, while the carpet grass is generally indoors. But nowadays, most of the tennis matches use turf, mud and hard ground, and now carpet courts are rarely used. Hard courts are generally made of cement or some special plastics, similar to school playgrounds. The weather has little effect on this kind of stadium, even if it rains, the game can continue.

The mud field is not made of clay, but the surface of the field has a powder similar to red soil, so the whole field is red. On this kind of court, the rebound height of tennis is high, so players have more time to catch the ball. Nearly 60 of Nadal's more than 80 champions were won in the mud, so it was called? King of red clay? .
