When you want to walk forward but text chat window is open
Rafaclay Nadal.
Absolute GOAT on Clay. Has anyone ever been as close to this dominant?
Who were the three losses to?
The losses were to Djokovic (2x) and Robin Soderling.
No athlete has ever dominated anything like Rafa dominates Roland Garros
He withdrew mid tournament one year due to injury for those wondering 14/18 wins
Roland Garros king! Rafa is legend!
That third “L” is in the wrong spot. It was just last year. Should be 7 “W’s” after that. Not 10.
97% win rate on 115 games. What the FUCK
I wonder how many people bet on these games. And what the odds look like.
Happy retirement trophy bitter..amazing career.
They should name the tournament after him.
All I can think is, why couldn’t Felix have won his match with him? When Sampras, then Federer, raised their sixth Wimbledon trophies over their heads, it was at that moment I became uninterested in seeing them raise their seventh. Huge fans of both players, I’m a fan of the sport first. If the Yankees won the world series every year, it would get pretty boring around October. I watched a lot of the tournament this year, but I skipped the final. Didn’t miss anything.
Let the hate begin.
3 more losses than I have there.
Nadal’s dominance at this one tournament secured his grand slam title lead in more ways than one. 4 of his Roland Garros final wins came against Federer and 3 against Djokovic. When all 3 of them are between 20-22 grand slam titles, having a tournament where you’re 7-0 against your two closest competitors gives you one hell of a leg up.
Can someone ELI5 why he dominates on clay?
Nadal is amazing and definitely GOAT on clay. But consider this: if you play in 5 French Opens and make it to the final every year, your collective record will be 30 wins, 5 losses. If you lose in the first round of every one of those five years, you will still have five losses.
It’s far more impressive to simply focus on the fact that he’s won 14 French Opens over 18 years rather than focus on this specific W-L record which can be misleading.
I misread this and thought “That Roland Garros guy must get pissed each time he gets matched against Nadal”
