Who Can Stop Rafa?

Looks like he's in demolition mode at the French open. He won it 4 times in a row. Didn't win two years and then clipped a streak of 5 championships. Before not winning it for another two years. There seems to be a pattern here.

If he gets past his fellow citizen this afternoon, he could be meeting Novak on Friday. Or Thiem, the only player who beat him on clay this year. But Wawrinka and Murray are still around.

Some really good tennis ahead for sure.

Murray Bags 2 More Sets To Make Tennis History

2 more sets compared to the one he snatched from Roger last year. And yes, it's been an amazing 77 years since a British player won the most famous lawn tennis tournament in the world. It seemed that almost no one attending the event was there the last time it happened. Save the couple of the grannies that looked as young as Jeanne Calment.

Andy had many amazing shots against Novak who didn't look his best. How could he? He played del Potro in the semis and boy was this a draining fight. Just like Rafa who didn't even win a match in Wimbledon after laboriously beating Novak at Roland-Garros.

Hungry Rafa Wins 7th French Open

In four sets a minute ago. That's one more than Bjorn Borg. And prevents the current No. 1 player in the world, Novak Djokovic, to make some history himself.

So, the best clay player ever just confirmed his status. The tennis scene should become a little bit more interesting for the balance of 2012.

Rafa To Meet World No. 1 Player on Sunday

That's Novak Djokovic who's been having a terrific year so far including beating Nadal no less than 4 times. But before make sure to watch the Maria Sharapova-Petra Kvitova match-up tomorrow.

I am betting on Rafa and Maria.
