I think Berdych and Nalbandian could beat Nadal, IF they're fit enough and have multiple tactics to overcome Nadal's incredible talent on clay. Playing clay means 'long rallies' and 'strong stamina', and Nadal possesses the fitness and the willingness to 'go-for-more-balls' instead of other players who are 'blank' about the art of playing of clay. Berdych has proved that he's capable of beating Nadal with his shot-making ability and hard serves, but he needs to maintain his consistency in order to match Nadal's greatness on clay.
But i think Nalbandian has slightly more chance to beat Nadal.

I reckon most players stand a chance if they go out there fighting like Blake did at the Masters against Nadal, or in the manner that Berdych always takes him on.
I think Niemenin stands a chance, he's played pretty well against Nadal on clay, and he's a lefty so that helps too.

NEXT SEASON I can think of a lot of guys since Nadal seems to be on a his way down! Djokovic, Murray, Berdych, Soederling, Haas, Safin. and probably some more players I haven't thought of

Of those three I would go with Djokovic. His best result so far has been on clay and seems to be more comfortable on that surface then the others.

Most likely David Nalbandian, because he's very comfortable on clay.
