Nadal has declined on clay, but not at the FO

[The Green Mile]

Well that's just how I feel right now. Who knows if I'll feel the same next May but I really don't see Nole winning RG anymore- Wimbledon is much more realistic for him nowadays in my opinion.

Lol, who is going to get his hands on the title when Nadal finally slips! Mr Novak Djokovic of course!

I still forget sometimes that Nadal and Djokovic met at all 3 Clay M1000s in 2009. 2 finals and a SF. That would have been slightly annoying.....

They also met on clay in Davis Cup in 2009, before Monte Carlo. Both of them then got upset in the first week of the 2009 French Open, with Djokovic losing to Kohlschreiber in the R32 and Nadal losing to Soderling in the R16 the next day.

How would you rate yourself with regards to tennis trivia and knowledge here?...

Who else is right up there, do you think?

That must have been the most number of meetings between 2 top players without a single slam meeting. I mean Nole and Rafa met 7 times in 2009, yet not a single slam meeting
