RE: Jack Kramer Explains Federer’s Fade

On a different point, how many players besides Roger with 1-handed backhands have wins over Nadal?

Off the top of my head: James Blake, Fernando Gonzalez, Feliciano Lopez, Steve Darcis, Philip Kohlschreiber, Gaston Gaudio, Mikhael Youzhny, Nocholas Mahut...

Mahut, Lopez, Darcis and Kohlschreiber have all gotten their sole wins over Nadal on grass. Meanwhile, Blake and Gonzalez have gotten theirs early in Nadal's career (Gonazlez's win came in early 2007, to be fair), ditto for Guadio (who has actually done it on clay).

In recent years, his record against one-handed backhand players has been incredible.

Thanks for the history. I would expect most of these came more than 4-5 years ago? Like you said, his record the last few years vs 1-handed BHs has been remarkable. That's what made Darcis even more shocking to me (if it's possible to be even more shocked by that result)
