Rafael Nadal's most impressive wins in 2018

After being forced to retire against Marin Cilic in the quarter-final of the Australian Open, Nadal was sidelined until April when he rattled off a great run on his beloved clay. The Spaniard lost an epic clash against Novak Djokovic in the semi-final of Wimbledon before going all the way in Toronto, lifting his first Masters 1000 trophy on hard after Cincinnati 2013! By the end of the season, Rafa played only at the US Open, retiring due to a knee injury in the semi-final against Juan Martin del Potro and ending his season much earlier than he expected.

Nadal had some impressive wins, especially on clay, outplaying his rivals in every crucial aspect and dominating on both the serve and return to notch commanding triumphs.
