Roger Federer once shed light on what it takes to defeat Rafael Nadal at the French Open, saying it was “tough” but not impossible.
Nadal has always been a force to be reckoned with on the court, especially on the red clay of Roland-Garros. The Spaniard has won the French Open 14 times, a record that is unlikely to be broken anytime soon.
Federer, who was defeated by his arch-rival Nadal in the final of the claycourt Slam in 2008, was asked at a post-match press conference if defeating the ‘King of Clay’ was becoming impossible at the tournament. The Swiss replied that while it was “tough,” if players believed in themselves, they could get it done.
“Of course it’s tough. But you want to believe it, and this is what I tried to do. This is what I tried to do. But, I mean, the way he played today made it very difficult,” Federer said.
“He has wonderful, awesome sensations here in Roland Garros. He has never been defeated. The only time he wasn’t there was because he was injured, so, yeah. Many players should think about defeating Rafa, because I don’t think many of them do that, do think about defeating Nadal,” he added.
