Rafael Nadal - Every Single Loss On Clay Since 2006 (HD) 

I think Nadal lost on purpose in a lot of these. He didn't wanna get injured for french open.

@@scottwarren4998That is a load of rubbish. He lost in multiple finals

@@WorldofMiscria Nadal lost on purpose in many probably. These losers never beat nadal in french open, except djokovic.

I was going to say the same thing,lol!

Check out my very original comment: not to brag but I've been alive for >17 years and I have 0 losses on clay

He totally sucks at clay, I mean a 112-3 record at the french open just isnt that great tbh

Actually it's the only surface he is good in 🤣🤣🤣

​@@waillachab284have you ever heard of sarcasm?

@@TheseHoesAreLoyal obviously i was kidding why you're so sensitive

@@waillachab284 you're the one who couldn't accept a joke in the beginning saying Rafa is actually good on clay lmao. And then you accuse me of being sensitive, that's hilarious

Nadal always had trouble with Fognini, not just on clay. He is a master at taking the ball super early which takes a lot of Nadal's weapon, which is his heavy spin, out of the game. Hes also just incredible unpredictable which Nadal also hates.

Because Novak was injured 😅

A miracle resurgence = every time we thought he was about to retire, he always found a miraculous medicine to perform miracles. What a miraculous medicine man!

@@jimmyjoe1591 Lol one win against Rafa on clay in the last 7 years and that was when Rafa was injured.

@@jimnosnow4484 Nadal is too scared to meet him on other surfaces. Last 7 yrs u say, they played 10 times. Guess how many on clay? 7? How's that even possible? Atleast Novak has the balls to face him on Clay and stop pretending Nadal was injured in 21. He's injured all the time but he's back out there playing like a 25 yr old, it's very clear what Dopal is doing

@@venukrithish007 Nadal is injured so he has to save his body for the clay seasion obviously

It’s like getting a college degree

A lot of top players called it the "Mission Impossible" when tackling Nadal on clay

Yeah, especially Thiem. 0-4 against Rafa at RG.

​@@jameswalker6864outside RG he leads nadal on clay

@@jameswalker6864 tbf, who leads Nadal on RG?

@@Lohpezhoh Söderling ;)

@@user-yd7jn7fz6n pretty sure Nadal is 2-1 against him

And 18 on red clay

Since 2007 actually. He didn't suffer any loss on clay in 2006

@@user-cy6xl3vd3fso it’s since 2006

Quite right. The only one with Nole to really be able to compete with Rafa on clay. The best onehander on clay ever.

@@yvesandrethevenot3489nope, best one hander on clay is Gustavo Kuerten

And has zero ATP masters on clay.

@@sf5838 Injuries.

And yet Nadal was injured both times

​@@jeancharlet6496Balddal fans creating their happiness

​@@jeancharlet6496 he had a foot injury in 2021. He was healthy in his clay season in 2009, he just played it worse than some other clay seasons. Same with how he lost to Đoković in Roland-Garros 2015, he wasn't injured back then, he was just in bad form.

And 2005?????

@@kristianyankov7535 2005 Nadals losses on clay: Buenos Aires QF: Nadal lost 6-0 0-6 1-6 vs Gaston Gaudio Valencia QF: Nadal lost 5-7 2-6 vs Igor Andreev. This was Nadals last clay court loss before the incredible 81 match win streak on clay.

but if he didnt lose any in 06 then it's still all clay losses since 2006

@@honeynut4586 But why start count in such a weird way? Why include the year in the title, which didn't have any losses?! Doesn't make any sense...

After 2006, yes

@@garramiro has there been anyone who has beaten Nadal multiple times on clay b4 06? if yes, probably very early in Nadal's career

Wouldn't have imagined Murray in that list

Gaudio three times ​@@valar_dohaeris7387

Djokovic doesn't have big tests on other surfaces. If not Nadal, then who else? Alcaraz at Wimbledon this year but that was a 1 time thing so far.

@@MrPatrickbuit Nadal hasn't beat Djokovic outside of clay for more than 10 years. Medvedev, Zverev, Alcaraz, Sinner... are all more of a threat.

@@johnt3500 Actually İf you think about it that depends Thiem was also a big test at some point for Rafa too But Nadal is always unrivaled on clay no matter how you look at it since he also Wimbledon dominated Djokovic on clay too Unllike Federer who lost 3 finals to Djoker in Wimbledon.

Its 15-16. Last match they played in 2014 was the rg final. 11-12 djok was clutch over rafa 15-16 rafa was in a dip and djok was playing a way higher level than him

Who was the first player to beat Nadal 4 times in a row?

And Nadal beat Djokovic in 4 Slam meetings in a row between 2012 and 2014.

@@jacklyon4023 Davydenko I think ? Shanghai 09 - ATP Finals 09 - Doha 10 - Doha 11

2011 Prime Novak 2015 & 2016 Worse 2 year's of Nadal's career

Yeah. A bit friendlier with Federer and a couple of others but generally chilly. I don’t blame him though…you have to be obsessed with winning to compete consistently at this level.

​@@FlabbyTitmusswhat i don't like it's his hipocrisy, he seems this "good guy who just love tennis" and he Even talked about how novak was the one obsessed when when SEE their behaviours totally opposite, Nadal was the one pushkng his body to the extreme to gain injuries and Even had to numb his feet to be able to win 1 or 2 slam more, then the guy act like he's not the obsessed one? The guy who prepares to win every rg he encountered despite busting his feet it's not "obsessed" and hist love the Game, what a load of bs, if he loved that mucho the Game and not obsessed with gs he would play minor tournaments instead of jumping to the slams everytime

@@diegosotomiranda4107 Yeah. I think the whole world did a collective eye roll when Rafa accused others of being obsessive haha. They all are (the big three)…that’s what facilitated their greatness.

I’m a big Rafa fan but I completely agree with you on this one. And Novak who hasn’t always had the image of the nice guy is actually the most gracious at the net when he loses.

@@jorisbuck4073That is true. He treats his opponents respectfully and saves the abuse for his equipment.

Not quite yet 😂

@@garyparkinson6198😂 Sunday

@@garyparkinson6198 how about now?

​@@garyparkinson6198you must hv learned a lesson by now😊

​@@varunbhati2178what lesson is that?😂

he was at the peak of his powers in 2010, won the last 3 grand slams that year as well

@@ianmbanda3196 yes i know beat soderling at french, berdych at sw19 and djokovic in new york and had 9 grand slams at that point. Its just amazing how he did not lose even one match on clay that year.

He also dropped just one set on red clay during 2012 season.

@@TheY2G impressive stuff that!

@@haiderraja4533It’s not that impressive if you think about the fact that he had 81 matches win streak on clay before

Shapo was fluke due to foot injury

@@aparajitkr2870accept one Time that Rafa lost and don’t excuse it due to him being injured: Nadal Fans: Level impossible

@@donvito7344 if u are injured u have to call it injured lmao what else to call it. Its ur problem u cant accept facts.

@@aparajitkr2870 shut up

Don't forget novak Djokovic

Como Federer

😂😂😂

VAMOSS😂💪💪💪

Lol

Lol right

It's 1 surface and It's not the most played surface as well.... so the same could be made for Fed or Novak at grass. Ur very wrong

there are less tournaments on grass then clay, and nadal plays more in the surface so that's not true actually@@eminakaratas11

Yep, and he wasnt at 100% also, he was at 100% only at RG :d no point to waste all the energy on other tournaments but grand slams, djokovic does the same , when u r 30+, u cant be at 100% on every tournament.Djokovic also loses in other tournaments to guys like Rune , but in Grand slam , those 3 big guys r titans.

Yea, but he defeated him when he wasn't playing nearly his best, Novak here is the true winner. Every single match they played that was shown in this video was extraordinary between them.

​@@peolfpetler8500 Doesn't matter. A win is a win.

I'm a Fognini fan, being Italian he's the player I've watched more matches than any other of. I think he got a great match up vs Nadal, so he was able to give him a lot of trouble. He has beautiful groundstrokes and great volley and touch skills. Anyway, as a player overall he has several issues, like a very very weak serve, and a weak mental attitude. It's not a coincidence he never reached the important stages in the Grand Slam. The Montecarlo win was a great and deserved achievement for him.

Unfortunately couldn't do it in RG 2012, 2013 and 2014.

@@utkarshdeshmukh6414 Djokovic won the battle in best of 3 and which player can say that against Nadal on clay ?

True. Novak is the GOAT. There's no argument there. But Rafa just always had something extra at RG. Novak had great chances in 12,13,14 but Rafa got the better of him everytime!

@@utkarshdeshmukh6414 Ok, but the topic is not about best of 5 . The point is in best of 3 Djokovic got the better of him and that counts for something. Also Djokovic showed prowess at RG 2 times.

@@ciprianghenghea7779 True. But at the end of it all, it boils down to GS performances. He won in 2015 but lost the final so didn't capitalise on the win. 2021 was epic!

He is the God of Roland Garros,14 finals and he won all of them

He just seems to care more about the slam rather than a masters. A focused, dedicated Nadal on clay is scary

Even fed would have defeated 2015rg nadal. Djokovic was better than fed on clay but fed didnt get as lucky with the timing of his meetings with rafa as novak. Another 🤡 who got very lucky with timing is fognini

2015 and 2021 were Nadal's worst seasons on clay. He was much better in the seasons where he was beating Federer.

Most Đoković and Federer fans admit that Nadal is the best clay court player.

Đoković said it himself, Nadal is the best player on clay but he is not unbeatable.

@@FearsomeVoid Is someone unbeatable in tennis or in sports in general? Who is? I think Nadal in RG has been as close to unbeatable as one can be .112-3 record and 14-0 record in RG finals. Brother- these records will never be matched. EVER! And look at him today. He is broken and helpless. He is a human

They faced Nadal more when he wasn't at his best. Federer faced him constantly at his peak.

*If Djoker is the GOAT then that would mean he is also the greatest clay and grass court player ever* But these are Nadal and Federer respectively *Also Djoker isn't the GOAT of the US Open either* Federer beats him there with 5 vs 3 US Open titles *Djoker is the GOAT only of the Australian Open kid* Another thing: *Nadal between 2005-2010 was the best clay court player ever* *Federer's peak was from 2003-2009* Djoker started winning against them when these 2 weren't at their best anymore

@ZelenikTchingy dude, greatest of all time means the greatest overall... you don't have to be the literal best at every surface to be the greatest. He's just overall clearly the best through his achievements.

@@kalorakalora *No because being a GOAT means being the best in that sport, meaning all surfaces* Tennis is a special sport because playing it on clay is completely different than on grass *In football Messi is the greatest and that's legit, since football is only played on grass* Djokovic is only the GOAT of Australian Open, that's it

@ZelenikTchingy dude what the actual hell are you talking about. No it doesn't. Get out of here with that nonsense. For generations, the entire tennis world called Sampras the GOAT. You know, like actual former tennis champs who had won Grand Slams like McEnroe... tennis pundits who are far more knowledgeable than me or you. For decades they called Sampras the GOAT. And he sucked on clay and was not necessarily the best at all on hard court. They called him the goat because he was the overall most successful and best. That's what makes a goat. Not some silly kid on the internet saying "oh you need to be the best ever on every surface to be the goat". Nah, I'll take the the word of actual tennis greats from past and present. Guys who know the sport far better than us. Literally all of the younger guys in their 20s on the ATP know also acknowledge Djokovic as the GOAT. Stop trying to change the generally accepted definition of GOAT to your own silly version even though mountains of evidence and statements from people infinitely more qualified to make that judgement than you are saying the total opposite of this nonsense you're spewing.

@ZelenikTchingy how about you name one reason why you are more qualified to say who the GOAT is than 7 time slam winner John McEnroe, or a Alex Zverev. And then we can talk. List one reason why your thoughts on what makes a goat are even remotely close to being as valid as former and present tennis stars thoughts. Otherwise shut your mouth and don't try to change definitions that everyone who isn't insane agrees on

Nadal

Tbh in this particular case i feel djokovic isnt being very friendly for some reason.

He still hasn't lost a lot compared to other players

Fed imo is easily in top 5 clay courters ever, just doesn't seem it since overshadowed by Nadal. Won plenty of titles/ in his peak made nearly ever clay final & still pushed Nadal on clay from tome to time(see Rome & French open 06, hamburg 07-08 matches), but Nadal was Fed's kryptonite and extra difficult to rip aces & winners against on clay. (Fed's defense is underrated, but Nadal's defense on clay was godly)

he almost had him in RG when he dislocated the ankle ...

kid, delete your nonsense
