Nadal Untroubled

We're into the SEMIS! Despite facing on of his best mates on tour, Rafa's successfully reached the French Open semifinals once more not only to extend his unbelievable record to 50-1 in Roland Garros, but also to  become the 6th player to reach 50, or more, wins in Roland Garros- along with Vilas (56), Federer (54), Lendl (53), Agassi (51) and Pietrangeli (50) as Greg Sharko has just stated on his Twitter account. Incredible, isn't he? In today's match it took Rafa only 2 hours and 46 minutes...

Bagels on the go

Yes, yes, ruthless Rafa has switched on his "crushing mode" once more! Despite considering Juan Monaco, or Pico as many prefer, as one of his best friends on tour, it's absolutely different on court, where only one guy leaves the field victorious. Rafa's determination to make his 1st win as a 26 year-old a remarkable one, and his thirst for a 7th French Open title and a new world record, was pretty obvious as he grounded Monaco into pieces in less than 2 hours, 106 minutes precisely. Not only...

Let me just remind you that Rafa had finally...

Nadal Finished Raonic, Giraldo Next!

Just 2 days after his win against the Japanes Soeda, Rafa managed to reach Tokyo's Quarter-finals as he swept the young Canadian, Milos Raonic, in straights. Although, it eventually went to Rafa in straights, the 1st set was a bit tight with each player holding his service games. But it ended at last when Rafa managed to claim the break at his lonely break-point of the set leading 7-5, also having the advantage of serving 1st in the 2nd set. The 2nd set was relatively fair, somehow, Rafa...

Rafa Ready To Defend Tokyo

After a year from capturing his title at Tokyo, Rafael Nadal is back in Japan seeking his 4th title of the year. Although Rafa arrived last year in Tokyo with higher spirits, as he was leading the ATP's ranking with 6 titles, 3 of which were Grand Slams and another 3 ATP masters, I believe Rafa's keen on winning even more than he did last year.
