The King of Clay is on his Way
So what if Roger Federer struggled in his last match, he’s the best in the world, right? Not so much on clay. That mantle is owned by the Spanish Left Hander, Rafael Nadal. Nadal extended his winning streak on clay to an amazing 63 consecutive matches on Wednesday.
With the Monte Carlo Masters well under way everyone avid Tennis spectator hopes to see a rematch between the Swiss Bomber and the Spanish Lefty. With Federer’s backhand deficiency in the last match and Nadal’s complete domination of Juan Ignacio Chela the possibility of a three-peat for Nadal in Monaco could be very real. Next up the Spaniard will battle Belgian Kristof Vliegen in what could be another easy match for the reigning Monte Carlo champ.
Following the match Nadal spoke about returning to Monaco this year: “It was very nice for me to come back here and play the first match like this. I was feeling very well, so I play a good match. Very comfortable on court. Trying to have less mistakes as possible. I feel very good with the backhand, with the forehand, too, dropshots, good defending. Just a little bit… could serve a little bit better, but for the rest I’m very happy.”
So what if his English isn’t the best, HE’S THE BEST THERE IS ON CLAY and Federer and the rest better watch out or he’s going to be sliding his way to another championship. My feeling is that Nadal is just warming up.
