Rafael Nadal is at it again with his usual ruthless display against his opponents when it comes to playing
\ntennis on clay court.<\/p>\n

The king of clay has often displayed his affection and mastery of the clay court over the years as he has dominated on clay for some times now. Indeed, betting on tennis with Nadal on clay is the joy of many bettors who have often reaped the benefit of their knowledge of the game.<\/p>\n

As this year\u2019s French Open shift gear to the second half of the tournament, there is so much excitement
\nin the air amongst Nadal\u2019s supporters that another title is about to be added to his illustrious career.<\/p>\n

In fact, no other player in history holds the record held by Nadal as the only player whether in the male
\nor female category that has won the most title at a single major event in the open era.<\/p>\n

Nadal has won the French Open a record 12 times, the most any other player has come close is 8 titles.\u00a0 If Nadal
\nsucceeds in winning this year\u2019s French Open, it will be a record 13 th grand slam title from the
\ncompetition and his 20 th career slam which will put him at par with Rodger Federer.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the way he has started this year\u2019s tournament is a statement of intent for all to see. He won his
\nfirst 4 games in 3 straight sets beating Gerasinov 4-6, 4-6, 2-6 in the first round, next came McDonald
\nwhom he defeated 1-6, 0-6, 3-6 in the second round. In the third round, he dispatched Travaglia 1-6, 4-
\n6, 0-6 before squaring up with Korda in the 4 th round which ended 1-6, 1-6, 2-6.
\nIt is expected that his terrific form on clay would carry him through the competition and win him the
\ntitle.<\/p>\n

However, amongst those that stand in the way of this dream is his arch-rival Novak Djokovic.\u00a0 The
\nworld rand number one men\u2019s tennis player is seething from his disqualification in the recently
\nconcluded US Opens and would be looking to make up for lost grounds by claiming the last grand slam
\ntitle of the year.<\/p>\n

Djokovic himself has been in brilliant form all through the tournament. He won the first round game
\nagainst Ymer 6-0, 6-2, 6-3, and then proceeded to eliminate Berankis 6-1, 6-2, 6-2, before beating Galan
\n6-0, 6-3, 6-2 in the third round. His fourth round encounter against Khachanov ended 6-4, 6-3, and 6-3.<\/p>\n

If there is any major threat to the king of clay getting his hands on this grand slam, it will be Djokovic.
\nThis formidable rival is just one title shy of equalling Nadal\u2019s grand slam title of 19 slams, however, he
\nhas only won the French Open title once compared to Nadal\u2019s 12.<\/p>\n

It is also instructive to know that Nadal is the only player that has beaten Djokovic the most on clay in his career (17-7), while Djokovic is the only player to have defeated Nadal in 7 consecutive finals, he is also the only player to have defeated Nadal in 4 clay court finals, and the only player to defeat Nadal at the French Open in straight
\nsets.<\/p>\n

As the king of clay continues on this quest, he would be hoping that unforeseen surprises in the guise of
\nyounger players do not rewrite a beautiful script the whole world look forward to and make it
\nsomething more beautiful millions of betting fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
