Fourth time round and NADAL just rocks on !!!!
In the early part of the movie “Troy”, Brad Pitt as Achilles strikes down a giant with his sword , and then yells out at the stunned opposing army,
“Is there no one else?”
That scene reminds me of just how good Rafael Nadal is on clay.
And especially so after he just struck down Roger Federer once again in convincing, if not humiliating, fashion 6-1, 6-3, 6-0 to win his fourth straight Roland Garros and all but etch his name as the greatest of clay court player ever.
Instead of the gracious victory speech and the congratulatory processions that followed, I’d rather have seen Nadal make like Achilles, rip the microphone and shout out to the crowd and worldwide TV audience,
“Is there no one else? IS THERE NO ONE ELSE?”
Because at the moment there is no one else. There simply is no one capable of beating Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros. Roger Federer simply isn’t guy. He failed for a fourth straight year today. Novak Djokovic tried and he too, failed
If I had to construct a player to beat Rafa on clay I’d take Novak’s backand, Roddick’s serve, Fed’s forehand and Ferrer’s patience.
We've heard so much about Federer being the grea “How can someone be the greatest if he’s not even close to beating a single guy on one of the most important surfaces at one of the biggest events?”
In the mean time just tip your hat and be in awe of just how damn good Rafa is.
Turn out the lights. The party is over. Nadals’s the greatest on clay.
