In his current form, the tennis player is practically unbeatable on this surface.
The word is a combination of the prefix 'un-' (not) and 'schlagbar' (beatable). The adjective 'schlagbar' comes from the verb 'schlagen' (in the sense of 'to defeat'). 'Unschlagbar' (unbeatable) therefore literally means 'not able to be defeated'.

expensive
'teuer' and 'unschlagbar' can form a contrast when the topic is price. 'teuer' means that something costs a lot of money. For a price or offer, 'unschlagbar' means: it is so cheap that you can hardly find anything better. 'unschlagbar' is stronger and often sounds like advertising or enthusiasm. It does not simply describe something as 'cheap', but as a particularly good deal. If you are criticizing a high price, 'teuer' fits. If you are praising a very cheap offer, 'unschlagbar' fits.
