Clay is Djokovic's least favorite surface, yet he's still a beast on the surface. In your opinion, what is his greatest clay achievement?

So inspired by @RS I have come up with a hypothetical scenario. So what will happen if 2005 Rome Coria came up against 2022 Madrid Djokovic and played a 10 match H2H series on clay. Is Coria a much tougher opponent or will Djokovic come up victorious in this hypothetical? As you can guess my...

Ok this match has the ingredients to be an error fest as both players are not in very good form. Last year Shapo squandered 2 MPs against Nadal on the same court and gave Nadal a scare at the AO this year. The H2H is Nadal leading 4-1 with Shapo winning their first match. Who you got in this match?

It's the battle of 2 old men on the comeback trail who seem to react to shots a full second after their opponents have hit them and miss constantly off both wings, but who wins?

I WAS ANALYZING NOVAKS AND RAFAS GAMEPLAY A LITTLE BIT AND 1 COMMON THING I NOTICED WAS THAT THEY BOTH CONVERT BACKHAND BALLS AND HIT A FOREHAND BUT BOTH OF THEM HAVE A GREAT BACKHAND AND CAN EASILY DOMINATE THE OPPONENTS SO WHY THEY GO FOR CONVERTING OF SHOTS ?

Earlier this year. We all Witnessed a historical moment, ladies and gentlemen

Primedal is generally agreed to have been from 2008-2014. In this time... On grass: He didn’t even play at Wimbledon ‘09 through injury, missing the opportunity to play a weaker Federer or Roddick/Murray. He won the 2 Wimbledons either side of this in 2008 and 2010. During his 2012 match...

Rafael Nadal beat Fernando Verdasco 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(2), 6-7(1), 6-4 in the Australian Open semi-final, 2009 on hard court Nadal would go onto win the title by beating Roger Federer in the final. To date, this remains Verdasco’s only semi showing at a Slam Nadal won 193 points...

I am 100% sure that nadal would have played all the big clay court tournaments and would have broken down by RG. Now he is forced to play at most 2 tournaments before RG where most probably he will go out early in one of them them. At this stage a schedule like 2020 where he played only Rome and...

Rafael Nadal beat Novak Djokovic 3-6, 7-5, 6-2, 6-4 in the French Open final, 2014 on clay It was Nadal’s record extending 9th title at the event and record breaking 5th in a row. Djokovic had won the pair’s last 4 meetings, mostly recently on clay in Rome final. This was the...

At Indian Wells (2022) it seems like they might've played a practice set/match and the final point is won by Alcaraz. I know it is not that important, but obviously nobody (especially not Nadal) wants to be beat ever, even if it's a practice set/match. Was anyone there who can say if they did...

Ladies and gentlemen, While the Spanish real world no.1 will begin his surge towards an unprecedented 21-0 start to the season within a few days, enjoy shots nobody expected. Vamossssssssss

We have witnessed multiple clashes of big3 over the course of last 1,5 decades. The reason behind it is that the court & conditions in Californian desert are unique and favour the game of all 3 of them. Let it be Federer 's ultra agressive game with finesse, touch, guile & serve+1 or Nadal's...

I do think this will be closer than both previous matches of Nadal, although the result is inevitable in form of yet another rafa win. Anyways, what's your thought on this, ladies and gentlemen? Vote in the poll. Discuss.

Who wins this clash, ladies and gentlemen? Initially it was supposed to be Opelka Vs Rafa but the big American has pulled out. Can Rafael Nadal thr greatest warrior in tennis history continue his surge towards 6th ye#1?

The way Rog's dropping points, it seems highly unlikely that he'll be inside top100 by Wimbledon to make it to main draw He'll need a wildcard to enter and organizers, knowing he's a ticking time bomb, may want to cash on the opportunity early and not take any risk. They may set up fedal #5 at...

The final we were all hoping to get. Rematch of their USO F from 2019. There is something at stake for both of these guys: if Med wins he becomes the first player to win his first 2 slams back to back in the Open Era, while Nadal will finally win the DCGS. Something's gotta give on Sunday...

With his QF match set with Shapo, any Fed/Djoko here actually wishing Nadal goes all the way? I do and here are my reasons: For me its simply because he's the player whom I like best among the contenders remaining. IMO the GOAT debate is kinda moot. Yeah, he'd become the guy with the most...

Statement (a)Rafa's playstyle causes (b) Extreme strain on body which increases chances of (c) Injury which causes (d) Absence im Slams. (a) => (b) => (c) => (d) Contrapositive not (d) => not (c) => not (b) => not (a) To be present in more Slams, Nadal would have to be uninjured. For...

Nadal is here to win the title, but Cressy is in crazy servebotting prime.

Yeah you read it right. Which was the best match that nadal played, was playing at the best of his powers but yet lost? There are a few options. 1) Australian open 2012 final v/s Djokovic 2) Wimbledon 2007 final v/s Federer 3) Wimbledon 2018 semi final v/s Djokovic 4) Australian open 2017...

Both having a last prime run before the steep fall. Both having lost a rome final and having won Madrid en route to the French open final. Both having faced a tough loss in Monte Carlo Both showing quite huge signs of holes in the armour after such a great previous season (nadal more so than...

Dominic Thiem beat Rafael Nadal 6-4, 6-4 in the Barcelona semi-final, 2019 on clay Thiem would go onto win the title, beating Daniil Medvedev in the final. Nadal was the triple defending champion, including with a win over Thiem in the 2017 final. The two would go onto meet in the...
