Actually, it was beautiful to watch if you're a Nadal supporter and probably very painful to sit through if you consider yourself a Fed fan.
But, for all tennis fans it may have been the most impressive performance we've ever seen on clay from the world's greatest all-time clay court player.
Yes, I'm coming to that conclusion. I think that Nadal is the greatest clay-courter of all time!
Only Borg enters into the discussion for me. I think that Borg had the speed, mental toughness, and stamina to hang with Nadal. I wonder though if Borg's two handed backhand could have stood up the the relentless assault of the Nadal forehand.
Of course, we'll never know. And, until Nadal wins 6 French Open titles, there will always be those who say he can't be as good because he hasn't won as many titles.
So, let's wait two more years before we crown Nadal as the greatest on clay.
Now, Let's see what Rafa can do this year on grass.
Until next time,
