All rise, and Hail King Rafa!
And he did it again! And in style. So what does it mean… well for one, if these guys meet in the Wimbledon final this July, the ticket prices for the match will shoot through the roof. Perhaps, it might be the most expensive Wimbledon ticket to get.
So lets get back to the main topic. Poor Fedex, French Open is one parcel that he just can’t deliver. And the most disheartening aspect, yeah, not sad, that was in 2006, not even frustrating, that must be last year, is that it’s the same spaniard that stands in the way, Rafa. He just whisks past all others and then hits the wall, and this year it hurt bad. So where does this leave his legacy. Well no doubt that Roger is amongst of the best, but every time a detractor would be quick to remark about how he lost three times straight to Nadal. And this is what makes Roger a regular great player. Pete never managed to win at Paris also.
Now shifting focus to the greens at Wimbledon. I hope, really, really hope that they meet again on the Centre Court once again. It would be some match. And my bet is on Rafa this time again. Last year he almost beat Roger. And this year he is even closer. I think at this level, itβs all mental. The surface would not matter that much. Nadal seems to be getting better on grass. And after the rout at the French Open, Roger must be raring to make things even on the grass.
So if anyone happens to have an extra ticket to the match… you know where to find me and I shall forever be grateful π
