The HEAT of CLAY!

The "Clay" season starts next week! Are you ready?!

Spain VS Belgium, Davis Cup

     It's official! The Spanish star and world no.1, Rafael Nadal, will join the Spanish team against Belgium on the 4th of March in what seems to be an easy first round for the Spaniards.

     In fact, Albert Costa has excelled making an extremely magnificent collection of players, a "Masterpiece". Rafael Nadal, David Ferrer, Fernando Verdasco and Feliciano Lopez playing on the same side, don't you know what they can acheive? I think that they together form a lethal combination which can overthrow any other "TENNIS team" as easy as pie, don't you think so? 

     However, we shouldn't anticipate events.Who knows? Maybe the Belgains won't be satsfied by just standing there and watching, maybe they will surprise us by one stunning performance we have never seen before.Yes, although the Spanish team groups some of the best players in the world, we mustn't underestimate Xavier Malisse and his fellow Belgains who will absolutely fight fiercely for a place in the second round.

    Well, I guess nobody can ever tell what's going to happen and untill then, the only thing we can do is waiting. WAIT, WAIT,WAIT.... I know waiting is sometimes intolerable, but is the only thing we can do right now, so be patient and we'll see how this is going to end.

The perfect finale for 2010!!!

Nadal and Djocovic after one of the most thrilling finals ever

Oh what a final!! Both players deserve to win! Why does somebody have to lose?! Truly, life is hard.

Rafael Nadal has finally got himself the passport to being one of the greatest tennis players ever after his outstanding victory upon Novak Djokovic at this years US Open Final. Rafa obviously would have never accepted anything but victory as he kept pulling himself to show his most powerful and efficient shots except for his backhand which refused to complete Rafa's perfect perfomance. Viewing the other side of the coin, Nole's forehand was pretty amazing especially when he fired the ball towards the corner.Yes, Nole has absolutely fought fiercely against Rafa, but the tide didn't turn in for him, even in the last set when nothing could possibly keep Rafa apart from the precious trophy, Nole came up with one or tow amazing shots in a desperate attempt to stay in the game.

Rafael Nadal makes history being the youngest tennis player in the open era to claim all four grand slams after Rod Laver, Andre Agassi and , of course , Roger Federer, thank's to the US Open's title. Good for him!

Nadal Vs Djokovic In What Has To Be One Of The Most Thrilling Finals Ever

Who isn't looking forward to this years US Open Final? He must be dumb or boring for it will definitely be one of the most Fun-tastic and Incr-oyable tennis matches ever. The question now is will Rafa be able to claim the exceedingly precious missing piece of the "Grand Slam Puzzle" or will the "Djoker" shock him with one of his unpredictable hat tricks? The only thing I can say is that today's final will be carved not only in the US Open history, but also the entire fascinating world of "TENNIS"

Nadal makes an amazingly magnificent reach to the US Open Final

Rafael Nadal was able to smash his US Open semi final barrier by defeating  Mikhail Youhzny,who has definitely enhanced his grand slam career by his major win upon Stanislas Wawrinka and reaching his first US Open AND grand slam semi final ever, but it seems that all what he has done never turned to be efficient enough to offer Rafa a challenging game or even claiming ONE set of his territory !
