i pick 2008 over 2010 season
because i know one slam is huge diffrence
but his early hard court tennis season is not great

- 2010 doha open final ( lost davydenko )
- 2010 AO QF ( lost murray )
- 2010 IW sf ( lost ivan ljubicc)
- 2010 miami sf ( lost andy roddick )

at that the time , i think nadal goes slam less season
but he suddnely goes his first 3 slam season
undefeat at the clay season ( won MC + ROME + MADRID + RG )
won wimbledon
won us open

but i pick 2008 over 2010 is more harder compition level
nadal 's RG 2008 run was i think dominate ever slam run in grand slam history
and nadal beat five time defending champion roger federer at the final
and he won god medal at the bejing

so i think i pick 2008 season is nadal 's best tennis season all time
 
Same here.

2008 FO, Wimbledon, Olympics. Broke thru the rankings, reaching number 1 for the first time. Wins Wimbledon for the first time, which many considered as the Greatest Match ( i disagree, but that's another story).

Was in Clay Godmode that year as well. So, to me, 2008 was Nadal's best season. Or at the very least, his most memorable. A breakthrough year indeed.

If the additional Slam isn’t decisive for you, then why is 2013 out of the question? In 2008 he won Olympic Gold, and that is a huge title IMO, but in 2013 he won 5 Masters and dominated clay AND the summer hardcourt season.

The other Slam results were bad in 2013, but the 2 additional SFs of 2008 are not more important than Masters titles.

1) 2010. Obviously. Not his best form, but he tempered form in best moments. His best WTF.

2) 2008. Absolute his peak. From MC - USO. 53:3 total score. Djokovic beat him even there.

3) 2013. Especially after tough injury. USO 13 could be quite possible most important win of his career.

4) 2019. His 2nd best Slam season ever. Djokovic bagel is precious.

5) 2017. Epic comeback after average 15&16 seasons. Fed owns him through season was apsolutely satisfyng.

6) 2005. Birth of Rafa. Crazy season for teenager.

7) 2006. Undefeated on clay. Rome Final has historical importance.

8) 2011. Apsolutely brilliant season. Without Djoker, he could win so much more. Very consistent.

9) 2012. Revenge vs Djokovic in three clay finals. Very close to winning AO.

10) 2009. Not his best season, but deserve to be in Top 10 for epic btb wins vs Dasco&Fed.
