SPANISH SPORTS | RAFAEL NADAL CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 2º US OPEN TITLE

With the time difference between New York & Madrid - 6 hours - many Spaniards were in bed sleeping when Spanish Tennis Player Rafael Nadal was lifting his second US OPEN Tennis title after defeating Novak Djokovic 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 in the the Final. Its the 60 title for Nadal & his 13th Grand Slam, the victory closes the gap on the Nº1 ranking position placing Nadal just 120 points behind Djokovic.

The Spanish Tennis ace acknowledged that it was a difficult & a hard worked match, commenting that Djokovic always takes him to his Tennis limits. A victory the was emotional for Rafael Nadal who last year was contemplating retiring if he could not overcome his serious knee injuries. But this title was another cherry to his personal Tennis season cake as he has been unbeatable on fast surface.

There is not much more to say about the match as I was in deep sleep & did not watch the game being beamed on pay TV in Spain. What I do know is that the 3rd set & the incredible comeback from a possible break by Nadal seemed to psychologically hit hard Djokovic & opened up the decisive 4th set for the Spaniard.

All I wish to do here is to dedicate a post today to Spain's "Greatest Sportsman of all Time" with only 27 years of age. An extraordinary Sportsman & Tennis player along with being an example to all of us as a person.  

If the knees of Nadal hold out we could be installed for more great finals & games, encounters with Djokovic & more Tennis Titles. Congratulation Rafael Nadal, your an example & a reference for Spanish Sports & all Spaniards.

SPANISH SPORTS | RAFAEL NADAL TAKES FRENCH OPEN RECORD EIGHT STRAIGHT WIN

First man ever in the history of the French Open to win the title 8 times in a row, & for that matter a Grand Slam tournament 8 times in a row. Spanish Sportsman & Tennis player Rafael Nadal defeated another Spaniard David Ferrer 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 in the 2013 French Open Final.

Emotional win for Nadal who has gone through a "personal hell" with knee injury that had him off the circuit for months. In fact, Nadal doubted at times if he could once again find his top form or if his injuries would force him prematurely to retire.

Amazing comeback this season with 8 straight finals ( 7 wins ) to jump into the record books & once again serve as an example to all people on how one can overcome difficulties if they believe. 

Greatest Spanish Sportsman in History & a Tennis legend at 27 years of age. The man has still years of great Tennis ahead - if no injuries come into play - & his next objective will be Wimbledon

Congratulations Rafael Nadal once again, thank you for being the perfect Spanish Sports ambassador & Champion. Also congratulations to runner-up Spaniard David Ferrer for his great Tennis & for being another grand ambassador of Spanish Tennis & Sports.

SPANISH TENNIS | RAFAEL NADAL WINS INDIAN WELLS MASTERS 1000

Spanish Sportsman & greatest Spanish Tennis Player in History Rafael Nadal has gained his third Masters 1000 Indian Wells title after defeating Argentine ace Juan Martin Del Potro 6-4, 3 - 6, 6 - 4. The Spaniard in gaining this title jumps up the World Ranking to the N º 4 position after 7 months out recovering from a near career ending problem with his knees.

See-saw stuff with both players at their limit, were perhaps the mental strength of Nadal tipped the difference in the third set in his favour. Nadal came to Indian Wells to test his knees on hard surface & needed an opponent of the class & calibre of Del Potro to benchmark his recovery. The final result was an end to a long suffering road were it was day to day objectives to get back into the circuit, back into form & back into the winning ways.

Rafael Nadal will not not go onto Florida for the 2º Masters 1000 as he wishes to rest his knees & not risk as he puts his mind forward onto the European clay court circuit where he historically has been unbeatable.

This is his 600 victory as a professional, his 52nd title & the player with most Masters 1000 with 22, which puts him ahead Federer (21), Agassi (17) & Djokovic (13).

Spanish Tennis needed Rafa back as did World Tennis. The man has suffered during theses last 7 months & today's victory must be emotional. Rafael will be back in competition in Montecarlo on clay.

Welcome back Champ!

Tennis
Spanish Sportsman & Tennis ace RAFAEL NADAL was defeated this afternoon in the Final of WIMBLEDON 2011 by Serbian & new World Tennis Nº 1 ranked player NOVAK DJOKOVIC 6 - 4, 6 - 1, 1- 6 , 6- 3. Djokovic wins his first ever Wimbledon Tournament & defeats Nadal for the 5th straight time in a final. The Serb is having a superb season which kicked off with the Australian Open & has basically won evrything ( except Roland Garros ) ever since. 

Novak Djokovic wins Wimbledon 2011

Rafael Nadal was fairly beaten today by a greater & more efficient Djokovic in what turned into a "complicate" game for the Spanish ace. Lots of unforced errors & a more aggresive opponent put Nadal against the ropes after the first two sets went to the Serb. As one could expect, Nadal fought back admirably & as a true Champ in true grit fashion to take the third set & at least open a door to a possible come-back opportunity. However, Djokovic has improved inmensely in mental concentration & with his game to secure the tight situations & made sure that this Wimbledon title opprtunity would not get away.

Rafael Nadal

Novak Djokovic will wake up tomorrow realising that it is all not a dream but a reality holding his Wimbledon Trophy firm in his hands & the World Nº 1 ranking. A well deserved prize for a very talented Tennis player, who has worked extremely hard & will no doubt win many more future titles.

Rafael Nadal will now get some well earned rest, transfer some of the pressure off his shoulders & onto Djokovic,  & prepare for the next big challenge & battle that will be the US Open where he defends the title & may meet again his rival Djovokic.

SPANISH SPORTS | RAFAEL NADAL WINS HIS SIXTH FRENCH OPEN TENNIS TITLE

SPANISH SPORTS received another glorious historical moment this afternoon thanks to an extraordinary Spanish Sportsman. Spaniard & World Nº1 Tennis player RAFAEL NADAL won his 6th FRENCH OPEN title after defeating ROGER FEDERER 7-5, 7-6,5-7,6-1 in the 2011 Final in Paris France. The 25 year old Rafael Nadal equals the record feat of Bjorn Borg with six French Open titles,  & no one doubts that the Spaniard canfor nada surpass this record mark in the future.

Rafael Nadal with his 6th French Open

The road to the title has been difficult & hard worked for Nadal who came into this tournament with 4 straight Final defeats in the previous tournaments to rival Serb Novak Djokovic, in less than optimum form & with psychological doubts with his play. The response to all this has been an extraordinary effort to surpass himself in all aspects that once again highlights that we all are witnesses to a great Champion. 

Nadal & Federer 2011 French Open Final

The game started totally in Federer favour with an aggressive start that caught Nadal cold, off guard & in doubts. The perseverance of the Spaniard allowed the him to came back from  a 2 - 5 situation to take the first set 7 - 5. This was a key moment of the match & a psychological blow that Federer did not fully recover from totally although the Master came back in waves to show us some grand Tennis. The 3rd set was perhaps the Swiss best moment making a remarkable comeback from 2 - 4 to take the set 5 - 7. However, Rafael Nadal regained composure & kept his mind on the work still ahead to calm his nerves to breeze through the 4th s& winning set to become a French Open Tennis legend with his 6th title.

I have run out of words to describe both these gallant Sportsmen & Tennis players, but I choke to find more superlatives to add for Rafael Nadal. Without any doubt at all, Rafael Nadal is Spains greatest Sportsman in its History , & the man has only 25 years of age with more titles to win before he calls an end to his Tennis career.

The Serb went from less to more taking Nadal to three sets & winning 6 - 4, 3 - 6 , 2 - 6  as the Spaniard experienced a radical drop in play & form after losing the second set. Djokovic finally manages to defeat Nadal in a final & break the "3 set" rule that said if taken to this number of sets Nadal always wins. 

Rafael Nadal 

The Spanish ace started on fire & took the first set relatively easily. The second set witnessed how the Serb got back slowly into the match frustrating the Spaniard into unusual unforced errors that lead to the loss of the set for Nadal. The third was for the confident & finely tuned Djokovic who overrun a radically different , lost & lethargic Rafael Nadal taking the set , the match & title.

Novak Djorkovic is currently at his best Tennis level after winning the this years Australian Open & will be a serious candidate  & threat in the upcoming European clay court circuit where there is no doubt he will again meet Nadal to fight out for more titles.

TENNIS 2010 | ROGER FEDERER DEFEATS RAFAEL NADAL FOR HIS FIFTH MASTERS

It just could not be, Spanish Tennis World Nº1 & ace RAFAEL NADAL was defeated by ROGER FEDERER 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 in a very convincing victory for the now five time MASTER of MASTERS. 

Rafael Nadal laments a miss shot

It was the first time in his career that Nadal had reached the ATP MASTERS Final (London) & his chance were good beforehand after majestically defeating Andy Murray in the semi-finals. However, the effort & the exhaustive performance took its toll on Nadal 24 hours later as he lacked spring, reflexes & freshness in his game. 

The 1st set saw Federer break Nadal mid-way through with powerful serving & precision shots that tested the reflexes of the Spaniard. But Nadal is a natural born fighter & took his chance when Federer loosed up just enough to give Nadal a glimpse of hope to which he broke Federer & equalled things taking the 2ºset. The 3º set was champagne Tennis from Federer who broke Nadal early & never looked back.

Roger Federer wins ATP Masters 2010.

Roger Federer won with an almost perfect performance that overwhelmed a tired Nadal & showed why he is considered the "Greatest Tennis player in History" to notch up his 5th Masters & finish off the year on the highest note. Nadal will be relatively pleased to have reached the final & no doubt we all will be seeing him back next year once again attempting to win the title that keeps alluding him to date. Congratulations to both! Tweet

TENNIS: RAFAEL NADAL ELIMINATED FROM THE 2009 FRENCH OPEN

Nothing lasts forever, it’s an Iron Law of Life, & it applies equally
in Sports & their human “gods”. World Nº1 Tennis ranked player &
Spaniard RAFAEL NADAL was convincingly eliminated from the
FRENCH OPEN this afternoon by Swede Nº25 World ranked player
ROBIN SODERLING 6-2, 7-6, 4-6, 6-7.

The Swede used his two main weapons – the “riffle” serve &
forehand – to sweep Nadal off the pitch & end any hopes of a 5th
straight French Open title. Although the Spaniard fought till the
end as a Champion this defeat will serve Nadal as an event to
reflect on & help maintain his feet on the ground. The Spaniard
can continue working on this game to make it even more perfect
& further solid. There is no doubt that Nadal will bounce back &
have Wimbledon as his next objective. The young man is destined
to do great things in Tennis & this is just a hiccup - although
important.

TENNIS: RAFAEL NADAL WINS ROME MASTERS IN TWO SETS

Another historic moment & Tennis game for Spanish World Nº1
RAFAEL NADAL after he become the first ever player to win 4
ROME MASTERS 1000 titles. The Spaniard defeated Nº3 Serbian
DOVAK DJOKOVIC in two sets in the Final this afternoon: 7-6 &
6-2.

Nadal continues to be invincible on the clay surface & has a superior

edge in the "pyschological" area as he plays his best when he is under
most pressure. This wears down his opponents as they "struggle" to
find alternatives in their game which leads to unforced errors from
there part.

During the trophy presentation Djokovic, due to the presenter &
public demand, did his "comic" interpretation of Rafael Nadal which

brought good humoured smiles from the Spanish Nº1. Now its a
weeks break at home & later off to Paris to attempt to add another
French Open title to his already long list at the age of 22 years.
