Sampras, Agassi, Hewitt, Roddick, Safin, Ferrero, Kuerten, Nadal, Djokovic, Moya,Rios, Kafelnikov. So I will say 12.
3. A Grand Slam final, where the runner up walked away before the trophy presentation started.

Correct
1981 US Open final. Borg walked away never to be seen in Grand Slam again.
It was a combined effort of Delpotro and Daniel Brands in Vienna 2012. 62 aces hit, 30 and 32 respectively. All the three sets were tie breaks.
Ivanisevic. Samsung Open in Brighton 2000.

Ah yes I would never have thought of Federer and Del Potro. To be honest it's more a 6 sets match than a 3 set match as it hadn't any tie break in the third sets.

10-8 for the Fed/Nadal match.
Go with 7-1 for the Fed/Soderling TB. Well known for a dominant TB with aces galore.
Can't remember the Fed/Djoker won. 7-4?
Around $90,000,000.
Never paid attention, lol. Lets go with Orange.

1. Muster. Hardly ever played.
2. Rafter at 1 week.
3. All I know is a Doubles final with Connors and someone else, where they left early.
4. Dunno. Ivo broke his record with 45 aces against Berdych this year, but that's for a single guy.
5. Ivanisevic. Broke his 3 racquets he had, and is the only player ever to forfeit a match this way, lmao.

2. How many times has Nadal lost on clay in his entire career? Bonus: Name 5 players that defeated him on clay more than once.
3. Name the most decorated player(s) at all of the current 9 Masters.

Accurate!
Not sure if we're doing bonus questions or anything, but... for EXTRA CREDIT:
Who ushered him into retirement, and in how many sets?
EDIT: Okay... just the last piece then
He lost in 4 sets after taking the first.

John McEnroe beat him in the US Open Final in 4 sets that year, but I think his last "proper" match was in Monte Carlo 1982 (lost to Yannick Noah)

Well I think there's only 2 more options in that case. Nadal over Ferrer RG 2013, or Djokovic over Murray AO 2011.

Davydenko once made 112 UEs in a 4 set loss at the 2003 FO to who? (If you haven't seen it, don't watch it. Absolute ****ter of a match.)

Djokovic def. Murray - Australian Open 2013. I don't remember him dropping serve there. Whereas Nadal definitely got broken once in RG 2013 and Novak got broken in AO 2011

Oh I remember this one - think it's Rusedski (it came up in the news here at the time). Match-fixing?
Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil

Correct. He held his serve throughout the entire match despite not winning in straights. Well done.
Steve0904

That one and AO 2015 were going to be my last guesses since Djokovic lost a set in both, but they were TB's. Also, playing Murray at the Aussie, you figure he'd break at least once.

Nikolay defeated him in the 1st round. He lost to Lleyton in that error fest of a match. Good memory though. Yep, every strange loss is due to match fixing now.

Cool! Let's try the parts 2 &3 now:
2. I'm going to say 29 losses.
As for the 5 players:
Federer - Hamburg 2007, Madrid 2009
Djokovic - Madrid and Rome 2011, Monte Carlo 2013, Rome 2014, Monte Carlo and RG 2015
Ferrer - Stuttgart 2004 and Monte Carlo 2014
Fognini - Barcelona and Rio 2015
Gaudio - can't remember where, but I'm sure he's done it twice (one weird one as well which was 0-6, 6-0, 6-1)
3. Tricky one:
Indian Wells - Federer & Djokovic tied with 4
Miami - Agassi 6 times
Monte Carlo - Nadal 8 times
Madrid - Nadal 3 times since the slot change
Rome - Nadal 7 times
Toronto/Montreal - No Idea
Cincinnati - Federer 7 times
Shanghai - Djokovic 3 times since the slot change
Paris - Djokovic 4 times

Murray broke Djokovic 4 times in the 2015 final.

I've not got a clue either. Apparently he lost every match in his attempted comeback in 1990 as well - never the same player after '81.

30 losses.
Players are correct. Btw, Nadal smashed a racket after that weird loss to Gaudio.

According to his ATP stats, he went on to play in these tournaments but lost every time in the 1st round mostly in straight sets to nobodies.
1983: played Monte Carlo(lost to Leconte in R 1).
1984: played Stuttgart (lost to Leconte (again) in R1).
Didn't play for the next 7 years and then attempted some sort of comeback:
1991: played Monte Carlo (lost to Arrese in R1).
1992: played 8 tournaments: Nice (lost to Delaitre in R1), Monte Carlo (lost to Ferreira in R1),Munich (lost to Prpic in R1),Washington (lost to Hogstedt in R1),Los Angeles (lost to Pridham in R1),Bordeaux (lost to Medvedev in R1),Basel (lost to Kulti in R1), Toulouse (lost to Roux in R1).
1993: played 3 tournaments: San Francisco (lost to Oncins in R1), Zaragoza (lost to Cunha-Silva in R1), Moscow (lost to Volkov in R1).
It was a sad conclusion to what had been such a brilliant career!

He should smash one on court now as well - it would do him the world of good.
And it might even get rid of Tio Toni for him as Toni was the one who said he'd never coach him/teach him anything if he smashed another racket in his life

Didn't Nadal deny that? Something like 6 or so racquets in the locker room after the match. It would have been strange to watch. I have seen Rafa think about smashing a racquet a few times, but ultimately never do it.30 losses.

Nadal denied six, but admitted he smashed one.
