Nadal in bo5 on clay is as invincible as a human tennis player can be but let us not forget he too is human.

[Raining hopes]

And he has been challenged even over bo5 on clay, not many times true. But still he has been challenged.


Rome 2006 final was probably the single best clay match Fraud played, and pushed Nadal a lot. Nadal played quite a good match but Federer had the right strategy for the day and his all court game was properly utilised.

P.H Mathieu made Nadal struggle a lot in RG 2006. And had Nadal on the edge a couple of times.

Fred even Bread sticked Rafa in final(too bad the beatdown of next 3 set probably sowed the mental demons)

Even in RG 2007 , the first RG where I truly felt Nadal was way way beyond the tour ,Fred had his chances to stretch him to 5.

Djokovic time and again has proved he can go to toe with Rafa for sometime.

He gave Rafa a proper scare in 2014 early stages.

And took him to the very limit in 2013.He stayed with Nadal even when Rafa began to really play extremely well in 5th set.Some say Rafa's level was up and down in the match but his highs were as high as he can go. Yet Djokovic kept up.


Some say it is impossible to challenge a well playing Nadal at RG.
But Djokovic did that in 2013 and to a lesser extent so did Federer and Mathieu.

He is indeed the smartest kid on the short bus

He's ombelievabul no?

John Isner with those faster balls in 2011.
But no doubt Nadal's defense of that PC court has been as impressive as that seen in any sport.

"Nadal in bo5 on clay is as invincible as a human tennis player can be"

A weird title indeed in which four of the first five words are redundant. I fixed it for you. Bull has never lost any match on any surface of any length.

Fedr....
