Nadal won the Mubadala Tennis Championships to begin his new tennis season – a positive sign 

The clay swing

Despite struggling with injuries, Nadal won the Monte Carlo Masters last year – a record 9th time!

You can never count out the king when the battles are on his turf!

No matter how down and out Nadal is, he will always be one of the contenders to shine in the clay season. He has a mind-boggling 365-34 win-loss record on clay and is unarguably the best player on the surface. 49 out of his 69 titles are on clay and he is almost a demigod on the surface. Last season, he won the Barcelona Open for the 9th time, thereby creating an open era record.

In 2017, he would be aiming to go for more with the use of the incredible topspin and bounce that he creates on clay. Who knows, he might even bite the Roland Garros trophy for a 10th time this season!
