Rome is djokovic's best clay court even, can rafa win sets against novak on his best hardcourt events?

Novak plays best on clay in Rome, today he showed he loves playing there by almost dominating for 1 hour the goat on clay.
Can rafa compete well on his best hardcourt like Us open, Canada or Iw last meeting in either of these were way back in 2016 but since then rafa has been great in canada or us open. If they meet on high bouncing hardcourt can nadal trouble djokovic?
Aus open court is just too good for djokovic game and almost baddest for rafa on ourdoor hard so please don't count that
 
If I'm not wrong the last time Nadal 'broke' Novak's serve on HC was back in IW 2016.

He hasn't won a set since 2013 on HC. Hasn't won a match off clay since 2013.

His best bets will be NA hardcourt swing

If Nadal wasn't so bad in 2016, he would have probably beaten Djokovic in IW. Djokovic didn't even play well in this match, but 2016 Nadal was really a bad player...

But I feel on high bouncing slow hc it won't be a beatdown if rafa can win a close set could get a win there as he plays quite good on those courts

Lol he won MC the next month. Stop it
He won it beating Monfils, LMAO. And still needed 3 hours to do it. The real winner of this tournament was Vesely who took out Djokovic.

You have to be really trolling if you think Nadal was playing well in 2016. He didn't even reach a slam 1/4 final, and in IW he should have lost to Zverev two rounds earlier. Zverev missed an easy volley on MP.
