W-L Clay Finals
2011 - 5-0 1-0

2008 - 24-1 4-0
2007 - 31-1 5-1
2006 - 26-0 4-0
2005 - 50-2 8-0
Note: His last clay court loss came to Robin Soderling in 4th Rd. at ’09 Roland Garros
Mr. April on Clay – Nadal posted his 62nd straight match win on clay in the month of April. During his clay court streak in April he has won 11 titles – seven in Monte-Carlo and four in Barcelona. His last loss on clay in April came on Apr. 8, 2005 to Igor Andreev in the quarter-finals of Valencia.
Milestones: Rafael Nadal is four wins away from 500 and he could reach that plateau by reaching the final (without a walkover) in Barcelona. He has a career mark of 496-105. Nadal also picked up his 200th career ATP Masters 1000 match win during Monte-Carlo and he is one of three players to reach that mark …Roger Federer (234-71), Andre Agassi (209-73), Nadal (201-40) are the trio.
Nearing Century Club: Nadal is at 92 weeks at No. 1 in the ATP World Tour Rankings. If he remains No. 1, he would hit the 100 week mark on June 13 (after Queen’s).
