You realize Djokovic took till 2015 when Nadal was noticeably declined to beat him at RG? He was a mere shell of himself that year at RG. Soderling on the other hand beat him in his prime 6 years before. In contrast, Djokovic has never come as close to beating him in a 5th set at RG in his prime as Federer did at Rome 2006. Federer had 2 match points against him in Rome 2006 in the 5th set back when the masters were still best of 5 in the final. I'd say your claim that only Djokovic and Soderling truly tested him and beat him is a delusional load of crap tbh. Djokovic never had match point against Nadal at RG in Nadal's prime. If Roger had won that Rome final the dynamic on clay might have been very different.
