Even tough the world No.2, Nadal has been best against all the players, expect on No.1, Djokovic. Nadal has won just three titles. He has played 10-finals encounters in 2011, losing 6-titles against Djokovic and one against the Britain No.3, Andy Murray.

As he is way back to home place from the Asian tour, Nadal would be planning for the last tow-months of the season. He will be playing in his next match at Barcelona World tour finals in London.

Nadal speaking with the various sources, while leaving Shanghai has stated that, I don’t know about my calendar yet, the season is been long for me. It has been a very positive season for me but at the same time tough season.
These kind of (Shanghai) loses affect me and its normal. It’s not the best time to think about the rest of the season. Hopefully I can start the next season with more power, with a few things better.”

The King of Clay will be ending the year at No.2 in the South African ATP world tour rankings; even he wins the title at Barcelona. Spaniard, who has won just one Grand Slam title at Roland Garros this season to lift the sixth French Open title in his career and has won tiles in Monte Carol Masters, Barcelona.
