Nadal conquers Rome … again

by

Rafael Nadal is in the best moment of his career.

He said so himself.

“I think I’m in the best moment of my career,” he said.

After winning at the Rome Masters on Sunday he now holds the most victories of any player on any surface. The previous record holder was John McEnroe.

Mac, whose own 75 wins came on concrete, was quite impressed with the 20 year old Spaniard.

“This guy is unbelievable on this surface,” McEnroe said.

He’s now on the hottest streak on one surface ever. And he’s only 20! I can’t imagine what he will do over the course of his entire career.

What’s worse for everyone not named Nadal is that biggest clay tournament is still on the horizon. Nadal has tasted victory in Roland Garros before and believe me he wants seconds.

The true test for the Spaniard will be Wimbledon and the US Open later this summer. He has more than proved his ability to succeed on clay. He now has to show the world he can reach this level of dominance on all the surfaces. Then we will see if he can take Federer’s number one spot.
