Insolite - Mutis, the only Frenchman to have beaten Nadal on clay: I'm not going to remind him.

Since it's now official that Rafael Nadal will end his career at the Davis Cup finals, it's also official that Olivier Mutis will remain the only Frenchman to have beaten the Spaniard on clay (at Palermo in 2004).

Speaking to RMC Sport, the Frenchman reacted to the announcement of the King of clay's retirement: "Winning the French Open 14 times is the greatest sporting achievement of all. It will be unequalled.

But I think it's still harder to win on different surfaces.

Should I send him a message? I'll leave him alone, it must be hard enough for him.

I'm not going to remind him of this defeat (smile)."
