2015 Rome.. Did Nadal run away from Federer?

[lud]

I always had feeling Nadal could beat Wawrinka in QF. He was 6-2 in1st set tiebreak.

And I also believe Fed would beat Nadal in 1/2 SF if they were played..

What do you think?

Big if true

Nadal in 2015 lost multiple times to Fognini and other much lesser ranked players. Wawrinka was playing his best tennis then. Nadal tried hard but he just couldn't play well enough to beat the top players.

In 2015 Nadal was running away in general. See Rome, Wimbledon, Cincy, USO.

Let me guess, you must be Federer fan?

Props to Federer for beating Nadal at Basel, but even the 2015 Nadal would probably beat Federer. The gap on clay is just too wide.

Federer beat him at Basel though. It wasn't as 100% one-sided as you think.

You mean indoors in his hometown? Even then it took 3 sets.
