Mathieu: Djokovic can beat Nadal on clay?

Question

Words coming from Nole's defeated foe says it all..i have added the question mark to emphasize uncertainty....

Answer 1

So sorry. No, not yet to this day. Nadal is still in supremacy on Roland Garros.

I am a fan of Novak as well. In fact, I imitated his 30 dribbles before serving in one of our tournaments here & I was deducted a point the third time I did it.

I thought, just as Novak said that it made his serves more powerful. I got warned & deducted by doing it instead, as a result.

Good luck to Djoko & may he succeed to wrestle the #2  spot from Rafa or as the Champ along also.

Answer 2

Mathieu should have a little knowledge of what it might take to beat Nadal, since he came close a couple years ago at Roland Garros, losing to Nadal in 4 close sets.  I think Djokovic can pull it off, especially if he plays as well as he did today.  But Rafa has also been in pretty amazing form these last couple matches.  It should be one h**l of a semifinal.

Answer 3

I think we can say that Rafa won't have to play a 5 set match at Roland Garros this year xD. He is playing far to good. Rafa and Anna will both come out clear champions.

Answer 4

If he said that Novak CAN beat Rafa on clay, then of course. But Can and Will are two different things. He definitely has a better chance than most other players. But look at Hamburg recently. They played a great match, but Nadal was always ahead with Nole trying to catch up. It's even harder to beat Nadal over 5 sets. But if there are two people who can pull it off, they are Federer and Djokovic.

Answer 5

Djokovic has it in him to beat Nadal, no doubt about that. Since the focus is on Federar vs Nadal, the Djoker can come from behind and spring a surpirse or two. Looking forward to a likely semifinal clash between No. 2 and No. 3

Answer 6

i suppose so, but i am hoping for nadal to win this french open for the fourth time.

Answer 7

the odds are stacked against him....just ask the world number 1 lol.

Answer 8

No, he can't, Rafa is playing very well in RolandGarros this year, he won't lose to Djokovic.

Answer 9

i do not think matieu has the weapons to threaten Nadal...

but very possible that Djovick can pull off the deed if he is at his absolute best and if Nadal goes a notch below his...

there could be a new king crowned at Roland Garros

Answer 10

What does some looney french men know??

Over 5 sets at Roland Garros, Djokovic has little chance.

Answer 11

no

Answer 12

sure yes

Answer 13

No. No one can beat Nadal on clay, unless he's injured or has a freakin' blister. He defeated him in Hamburg in 3 sets, how much more at RG? Nadal's stamina is one of his strengths and I think he would win if he and Djokovic win later.

Answer 14

In all the recent interviews NADAL himself says that not only can Djokovic beat him but that he will and that he will also be nº 1 any day. So yes,it can happen,why not?

I just hope it doesn't happen at RG!! I want Rfa to win his 4th French Open.

Answer 15

to Counting down... : what do you know about tennis!!?? i'm sure nothing... of course that rafa can be beat on clay... ferero beat him during a recent match... WAKE UP

nadal (2d player) is not god... djokovic (3d player) can beat him one day as nadal beat federer (1st player) he is a good player, very young, so everything is possible

but i'm sure that this day will be during this RG
