No one is destroying Nadal. Not Djoko, not Murray and definitely not Wawa. They might win matches off him once in awhile but no one is destroying him. If Fed had played against a player like Nadal from the start of his career I guarantee you he wouldn't be considered the greatest of all time now. He got lucky in that the greats were at the end when he came through and he racked up a lot of titles when his biggest competition were the likes of Roddick and Hewitt. In comparison look at what Nadal's achieved vs having to deal with the likes of Fed and Djokovic, even ignoring all his time off for injuries. I love a great underdog story and I usually have money on them but to think that Stan's going to butcher Nadal is just nutty. If he even wins a set in his first Slam final against one of the best players ever - and someone who I think has proven is better than Fed - then I'll be happy but shocked.
