Thrashed? lol.
yes, thrashed.
australian open, lost in straight sets
french open, lost in straight sets (worst losing margin ever possibly for him)
italian event, lost in straight sets to Stepanek (not even a top 20player)
wimbledon, Nadal's nerves along with the rain delay are what prolonged that 5sets
so far this year, i'm pretty sure he only has 2 wins to his name. and he's played at least a dozen events.
and those 2 tournaments he won were both bottom tier tournaments where all the other top players Didn't play in.
so in tournaments this whole year vs the rest of the whole field he has yet to win.
