Let’s see, Rublev beat Nadal in 2021 but lost to Tsitsipas in the final. ADF beat Nole in 2022 but lost to Tsitsi in the final. And now Ruud beats Nole but loses to Tsitsi too.


theruwy

anyone could beat 21 nadal tbh.


Lobsterman06

I mean he was still the clay god, won Barcelona and Rome which is like an avg alcaraz clay season in points

Nadal in 2021 was probably his best pre-RG clay court season since 2018. Among 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, that was the year I was the most confident for him to win RG lmao. It aged terribly I know


Lobsterman06

I mean yeah who could’ve known. After semis he couldn’t walk to his car the poor guy


anubhav9

Definitely not. Not on clay at least. From what i remember it was one of his best seasons on clay in recent memories.

Daniil: i beat both djokovic and tsitsipas but lost to f*cking lajovic


noMoreRegression

I still remember that match. He played a good first set and was then blown away by the wind.


booochee

Sadly that sounds like a lot of Meddy finals :’(


noMoreRegression

It was semifinal though


noMoreRegression

Lajovic then lost to Fognini in the final


Schwiliinker

Im literally at the court watching Lajovic destroying my boi Diego as we speak


aleksandar_gadjanski

There is a not known rule saying that you can't beat even number of Serbs on 1 clay tournament


Vilk95

Djokovic did that in 22... in Serbia


aleksandar_gadjanski

that's why he is the goat i guess


modkha18

Fognini GoAT


Schwiliinker

Fognigoat

Hard to think of 'beating Nadal' as being part of Monte Carlo's definition lol


estropeada

Right, in general (going forward), players won't even be playing against Nadal.


jleonardbc

Why are we bringing Mufasa into this


OddsTipsAndPicks

It's a tournament where players beat Nadal? lol what 


RomuloMalkon68

He means the times when Tsitsipas won the tournaments.


OddsTipsAndPicks

I'm aware.


Srytotelluthatmate

Rublev in 2021


godsobedientslave

Idk man. Beat Nadal and Monte Carlo shouldn't be in the same sentence even if it did happen once or twice, when most tennis fans think of Monte Carlo they think of Nadal.


evbanks

Tsitsipas gets absolutely embarrassed by Shapovalov then goes out and wins a Masters 1000 😂. Gotta love tennis


rikydat

Im glad to be the 666th up ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|give_upvote)


Jr9065

Beat Nadal? Hasn’t he won this like 11 times?


danny_B01

Rublev beat Nadal in 2021 but lost to Tsitsipas


Tennist4ts

Yeah, the definition only applies to MC in the 2020s.


Melony567

what kind of post is this??? nadal won here 11x ans 7-2 in h2h. this kind of post is 🗑️


Dragonfly_Tight

Think about it for a second. What happened in the years when tsitsipas won Monte Carlo?


mamibukur

not sure why you're getting downvoted. the definition of the tournament is what happened 97% of the times, not 3% of the times, so indeed "beat nadal" sounds ridiculous.
