Internazionali BNL d'Italia, Rome, Italy - Masters 1000

The posters perspective is that Novak has “done the most damage to stop Rafa from winning all clay events” - and that’s true!

Rafa’s only real danger on clay since his debut has been Novak, who’s given him all his most agonising moments on the surface, except for the Soderling match.

Since Novak peaked, after 2010, the H2H is only 10-8 to Rafa, with four victories and two defeats at RG…

Thanks Kieran and Sis Moxie.
@Fiero425 your point is noted.

Well, Roland Garros will certainly be interesting this year as no one truly cleaned up this clay season. As far as best of 5, I still have to roll with either Nadal or Djokovic as they are the masters of that format. Alcaraz will be the question mark of will he make a mark here.
