French Open Closed Already, Nadal Maintains Clay Power, Roger Eyes Grass (No snorting required)

As predicted, Nadal is unbeatable on clay court. I was looking forward for Federer to end the winning streaks of the Spanish star, but the Swiss seems to stumble here and there, and can’t seem to manage the swashbuckling topspins made by the clay giant. I was watching in excitement on the fourth round, seeing despair in the shouts of Federer fans (Roooojeer), when suddenly Roger made amazing points and tied the game on 6-6 until of course Nadal finished with strong serves making Federer moved back and forth the baseline, and ultimately gave him a fastball he can’t reach. But, Federer fans don’t despair; the grass court will be the arena of Federer to make vengeance. And as history tells, they clay giants will be swept out of the grass on the first rounds. Hopefully, #2 Nadal will prove us wrong.
