"Can we now agree, after this weekend's play, that clay is the best surface for the men’s game today? Seeing Nadal, Djokovic, and Murray hit every shot imaginable and run down every ball possible, I’m willing to say yes. Clay, which keeps topspin from skipping though the court while at the same time enabling players to slide themselves into position for hard-to-reach balls, allows the current generation to show off all of their skills like no other type of court."--Steve Tignor
No, we can't.
The best tennis the sport has to offer is still played on grass, the decline of serve-and-volley notwithstanding.
See the 2008 Wimbledon final.
Nothing that happened in Monte-Carlo remotely compares.
