Nadal is eating guys with single handed BH for breakfast. 單反選手 常被 Nadal 吃死死的 !
Thats why Djokovic is most successful against Nadal on clay. He doesnt have weaknesses as guys with single handed BH do. When Djokovic is on his high level Nadal is clueless . Even on his high level he cant do much.
Thats why Nadal tries to moonball Djokovic in Rome 2011 , because he was out of ideas how to beat him.
In Djokovic vs. Nadal Matchup everything depends on Djokovic game. If he reads his serve good, return fast and agressive, execute his BH DTL Nadal cant do anything to hurt him.
To beat nadal on clay, you need to return his serve deep on his BH, especially his 2nd serve - which is vulnerable , and to execute perfectly BH DTL : Down The Line....
For example Wawrinka has very good bh dtl against other guys, but not against Nadal because he cant manage his top spin with one hand.
雖說單反吃虧 但主流的雙反選手 也沒幾個能應付 Nadal The only way that a double-handed backhand works against Nadal is if: - the player using it has exceptional reach (Djokovic, no other examples) - the player is tall, thus the topspin bounce brings the ball right into their striking zone (Gulbis, Soderling)
