Nadal's 38 Clay titles
This is a list of Nadal's 38 titles (including Acapulco 2013). The 'Golden Swing' has been a positive comeback, the Ferrer beat-down may signal
1. Aggressive FHs. Nice BHs CC and DTL, perhaps a bit more accurate than in the past.
2. Two towels (to avoid time warnings - UT should be given the credit for such a brilliant idea).
3. More speed to serves (200 kmph+ at times).
4. ... and shorter points.
Please praise Rafa here - https://www.606v2.com/t41295-rafa-crushes-ferrer-6-0-6-2-is-he-back-yet. Vilas (45) and Muster (40) are the two players ahead of Nadal in terms of Clay titles - http://www.atpworldtour.com/Reliability-Zone/Reliability-Clay-Career-List.aspx. Perhaps he can win more than 8 titles (as in 2005) and make his fans happy.
Welcome back to winning ways, Rafa. Be healthy and fit.

Re: Nadal's 38 Clay titles
Great post Laverfan, 38 titles is an amazing number on clay very good breakdown. I can't see anyone breaking Nadal's records on clay.

Re: Nadal's 38 Clay titles
And most of those are quality titles.
Vilas and Muster played almost only clay all year round...racking up tinpot titles along the way to be frank. It's not just quantity but quality too...

Re: Nadal's 38 Clay titles
Yes Nadal really didn't go and play clay court events in the golden swing before this year. i think he should skip dubai and start making this swing more often. Nadal has clearly separated himself as the best clay courter ever. Can't wait for the clay court season this year, because I think by late spring we will see both Djoko and Nadal playing at a very high level. Hopefully, both guys stay healthy till then. This year's RG could be a monumental slam.

Re: Nadal's 38 Clay titles
No RG 2012 was more so.
Nadal was chasing the RG record, Nole chasing the Grand Slam. That was massive.

Yes a great victory, but Novak wasn't playing that well in the middle part of the year I have feeling both will be playing at a high level come spring and we will see at titanic clash. 2012 was a great final but I think Djokovic was a bit out of sorts mentally. I can't see him not winning a title this clay court season, and I hope that one will be the RG title. In some respects I don't think 3 clay court wins in a row against Novak in 2012 has completely reversed the mental and matchup problems Nadal has against Djoko. That is why I am interested to see what happens the first time they lock horns on clay.

So what would be the biggest clay tournament that Nadal has never won?

Re: Nadal's 38 Clay titles
This is Vilas on Clay. There is a controversy about 45 vs 46 titles, but leaving it alone, in 1977, Vilas had 13 Clay titles and 16 total titles (Johannesburg, Virginia Beach - Hard and Springfield - Carpet). There are names like Clerc, Fillol, Pecci, Orantes, Nastase and even a young Borg in 1973.
In contrast, TMF has 12 titles in 2006, Nadal has 11 titles in 2005, Djokovic has 10 titles in 2011, Murray has 6 in 2009 (5 in 2011). It is easy to forget how good Vilas was. He played 200+ total matches (Singles 130-14 and Doubles 38-15 in 1977). I am not aware of anyone else coming close to it. McEnroe in 1984 (Singles 82-3 and Doubles 40-5) is 130 matches and probably is the closest.

Will look at Muster and HB's question next.

Re: Nadal's 38 Clay titles
Thanks LF. Likewise there are loads of names you'd have to look up to see who they were...his achievements are simply nowhere near in the same league as Nadal's...and probably don't compare to Musters either. If you we're to add up the average ranking of guys beaten for each title, I bet Vilas' number is far higher.

Estoril or Umag, perhaps. Nadal has played these only once each Estoril 2004 or Umag 2003.
If I mention another name, IMBL will come chasing me.

Re: Nadal's 38 Clay titles
Vilas may have accumulated lots of titles but quality beats quantity so to compare him to Nadal does Nadal a disservice. Nadal could end up beating him in quantity too.

So if Rafa gets 41 clay titles he will pass Muster.

It is difficult to use average rankings, if a player is playing out of their skin. (SoCal uses a similar argument to convince that Baggy @AO and Gonzalez @AO are 'weak'). I understand where you are coming from, but here are some aberrations...
Nadal...
RG 2012 R32 Eduardo Schwank (ARG) 192 W 6-1, 6-3, 6-4
RG 2011 R32 Antonio Veic (CRO) 227 W 6-1, 6-3, 6-0
RG 2010 R128 Gianni Mina (FRA) 655 W 6-2, 6-2, 6-2
RG 2008 R64 Nicolas Devilder (FRA) 148 W 6-4, 6-0, 6-1
RG 2007 R64 Flavio Cipolla (ITA) 227 W 6-2, 6-1, 6-4
RG 2006 R64 Kevin Kim (USA) 116 W 6-2, 6-1, 6-4
Federer...
US 2009 R128 Devin Britton (USA) 1,370 W 6-1, 6-3, 7-5
US 2008 Q Gilles Muller (LUX) 130 W 7-6(5), 6-4, 7-6(5)
USO 2007...
R128 Scoville Jenkins (USA) 319 W 6-3, 6-2, 6-4
R64 Paul Capdeville (CHI) 120 W 6-1, 6-4, 6-4
R32 John Isner (USA) 184 W 6-7(4), 6-2, 6-4, 6-2
US 2006 R128 Jimmy Wang (TPE) 109 W 6-4, 6-1, 6-0
US 2004 R64 Marcos Baghdatis (CYP) 240 W 6-2, 6-7(4), 6-3, 6-1

Quality? And perhaps this forum is a reflection of the eternal and binding agreement on a universal definition of such quality vis-a-vis Tennis.
Am I attacking Nadal at all by this article, HE?

Some people wrote Muster off when he got hit by a car, but I was never doubting Thomas.

Re: Nadal's 38 Clay titles
I meant the average ranking of all players beaten during each tournie...it would be higher for Vilas than Muster, and probably lowest for Nadal. The computation for this is nigh on impossible though. Anyway it's moot. Not many would try to argue Vilas above Nadal.

Quality? And perhaps this forum is a reflection of the eternal and binding agreement on a universal definition of such quality vis-a-vis Tennis.
Am I attacking Nadal at all by this article, HE?
Of course not! You are providing interesting data and I'm discussing it. So thank-you I love lists, numbers and charts but what I'm really interested in is quality. I can't help it I just love gold...
