Who could win besides nadal on clay?

i think there are 2 possibles
1. Andy Murray
2. Fernado Verdasco

and 1 maybe
1. Roger Federer, maybe he will find his form in a slam.

This is just IF nadal gets beat.

EH??? Djokovic?? i voted for murray but i wouldnt count Djoko out any day of the week.

mmm, i guess djokovic, murray or davydenko are the closest to nadal on clay.

federer and murray :wink:

Yeah, next best bets are Federer or Murray.

Still got to stick with Fed as the next best bet, his record speaks for itself. A lot will depend on the next few matches though.

Djokovic is good on clay and he is very dangerous.

If Murray is aggressive and doesn't get extended early he may have a chance to go deep.

The fact I can't think of anyone else demonstrates again that despite great strength in depth, the men's tour is still all about the top 4 at the main events.

It´s just a list, it´s obvious that the main favourite is Nadal, who will probably play the final against Djokovic or Murray.
Verdasco coud reach semis, besides Nadal all the top ten players are quite similar on clay, so I wouldn´t be shocked if i see Verdasco,Monfils,Cilic.....Stepanek :lol:

reaching the final .

I would love to see Roger playing the final but I believe that not even him wants to play the final against Nadal again. The probability of winning Nadal in a best of 5 sets final( clay) is 0´0000001%.( only Nole could do something, i still remember that semifinal between these two players in Hamburg 2008)

He has played some good stuff but I fear it will all be in vain though.

I had forgotten how boring Nadal is to watch on clay at times, he must be the most frustrating opponent in history.
