1 defeat in 6 years of playing Roland Garros.
This year on clay. 4 titles, no defeats, 2 dropped sets.
With no disrespect, at no point in the match did Soderling look like he could beat Nadal. He just gets back shots that no one else can... you have to take risks against him that just dont stack up.
In any other era, Nadal would be peerless. I guess it his misfortune and the games fortune, that his career coincides with the greatest player ever. But he has to be the undisputed king of clay.
Then again, in any other era Federer would have won 4 or 5 French Opens and be considered one of the greatest clay court players of all time as well as the greatest all round player.
