Brutal stats for Nadal, even I as a Fedal tard have to admit it.

Nadal chickened out too many times, his main focus was always clay.

Federer and Djokovic, on the other hand, never shied away from battles with Nadal on clay.

Nadal may preserved a more damaging H2H, but to what cost? You can't just play on the surface you are best at, that is beyond pathetic

Looking at it another way, one might conclude he wears himself out during clay season since he probably plays more matches on the surface than anyone else, and pays the price for that later in the year.
Nadal's average at bo3 clay matches is 2.18 sets and 19.6 games per match i.e. around 63 64 score, so, not particularly physically & mentally demanding score for the fittest guy ever, who was also allowed 35-40 seconds between the points vs the best players.

At RG his average is 3.19 sets and 28.5 games per match or something like 63 64 64.

Smart guy. Knows where to get his winnings.
Then just own it. Say "fuck y'all" and dominate clay and be done with it, which I'm sure he probably actually just wants to do.

There is too much money in the marketing of his brand though, too many guys make millions doing nothing off his name, they need to exploit it so they create these false injury narratives.

he's a pawn in the game, so are you.

THEY'RE ALL THE ESTABLISHMENT.
