Just a couple of comparison stats between Rafa and the man(Borg) who's consecutive RG title wins record he's trying to surpass.

ATP World Tour

Nadal & Borg Title runs in Paris.

Nadal:

2008: Sets W-L 21-0 (100%)
2007: Sets W-L 21-1 (95.5%)
2006: Sets W-L 20-3 (87%)
2005: Sets W-L 21-3 (87.5%)

Total Sets W-L 83-7 (92.2%)


Borg:

1981: Sets W-L 21-2 (91.3%)
1980: Sets W-L 21-0 (100%)
1979: Sets W-L 21-3 (87.5%)
1978: Sets W-L 21-0 (100%)

Total Sets W-L 84-5 (94.5%)


Nadal has a 43-0 record in best-of-five set matches on clay.
Those are awesome numbers! It just goes to show what these other guys are up against everytime they play him on a clay court.

GO FED!! :lol:

Hey if some people think Fed can beat Nadal at Roland Garros and get the title Andy can do it too :c :lol: :lol: :lol: .
Speaking seriously, he´s improved his game a lot on clay. I predict he will reach quarter finals


Hey man remember when u got me on posting bad things about nadal, well i take offense to this post about federer, he has beat nadal on clay so people arent crazy for thinking that it can happen


Ok, that´s true, although I believe it´s not the same situation. Because you can post bad things about Nadal,( I´m not his father for god´s sake!!) it was just your comment "what now Rafa". I thought it was inappropiate, but that´s all.
For me everything is fine mate. :tu

Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

Looks like Nadal will have another title at roland garros, as federer and the nole ended up on the same half. I really can see nadal making it easily to the quarters and winning it. He probably wont lose a set, now that the 2 people who have given him troubel will more than likely duke it out before they even get to him. :(

Yeah but Federer should take care of Chokeabitch, it's a 5 set match so he has a 60-70% chance that Novak won't even make it through the entire match...you may think I'm exagerrating but I'm not even joking, I honestly predict that Djokovic will retire one of his matches, most likely when he faces Federer

That may be right but for anybody besides nadal to win the french someone is really going to have to push nadal and get him tired. i was really hoping that this would be the nole in the semis. Well maybe verdasco has a shot at doing that :?

No, nobody really has a shot at it besides Federer or maybe Murray...nobody can even come close to even pretending to compete with Rafa in a 5 set clay-court match, Djokovic is a child compared to Nadal in this respect...

Oh I misunderstood what you said. Yeah, Verdasco could definitely tire him out if they meet in the semis. Murray, too of course.

SERBIANS are WARRIORS from the bellies of their mothers!!! You are too stupid to understand the war, the suffering, the pain of the SERBIAN nation. Hell with USA... Hell to USA... PS: Fellow Serbians, let's go and occupy USA!!!!!!!!!
