Wow that's more than 100% strike rate. :lol:


As long as Rafa is left knee injury free, right knee injury free, abdominal strain injury free, finger and foot blister injury free, fatigue free, a variety of other aches and pains injury free, etc etc etc .....
then he becomes the VAMOS monster that we all know and love!

BTW, here's an interview he did with the BBC after the final.
Looks like he speaks in a more relaxed manner and his English has definately improved, I think.

THANK YOU.

At least somebody understands... It's so much more than "who has better skills on which surface". Like you said so much depends on when in a tournament they play, the H2H record, do they not like each other as human beings, etc. etc etc

Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

I think I'm right in saying that if Rafa manages to win the US Open he will have set or matched a couple of major records.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but no one in the history of this sport has ever won Slam titles on the three different surfaces (clay, grass and hard) in the same calendar year.

And he would be only the 2nd man in the open era to win the FO, Wimby and USO in the same year. The last time that had been done was by Rod Laver (who won all 4 that year) 41 years ago back in '69.
In those years three out of the four Slams were played on grass.

He's a "record" hunter
