    Nadal’s legacy on clay continues. It defies all belief and logic his record at the French.

    Said it before in this thread but it’s arguably the biggest feat in sport, to beat Rafa at RG. He’s made it his fortress.

    Nadal today once again has opened the Door of who is the GOAT.
    To win one of the 4 Majors 12 times is unreal,back in the day if somebody predicted that they would be put in a straight Jacket.
    In a way Novak got lucky not making the final because he would have lost the final and Nadal would have been one match short of level in their unreal head to head.
    Red Clay is THE 2nd surface in the history of tennis and sometimes that is disrespected.Can Nadal win a couple of the other 3 majors??
    For some reason the number 21 is ringing loud.

    Had he not suffered from injury he'd be on 21 already! The 2 French and the Oz Open v Wawrinka spring to mind!

    If he stays fit, he certainly has another couple of Slams in him but I think Djokovic will take the next few on hard court. Wimbledon is more who serves best leaving it more wide open.

    Chuffed to see Andy win Queens, when a few months ago I thought his career was over.

    The former obviously..

    Whenever I've seen him he looks a top player but such a liability. Admittedly only really watch Wimbledon..
