#258 - the greatest

so... any more doubters? how can you doubt the greatest tennis player of all time? well, he's been that in my opinion for that last few years already (i'm too young to have seen laver or lendl or even borg so i don't and won't compare those guys), forget that he's now got the career grand slam (wins at the australian open, french open, wimbledon, and the us open) and that he's tied pete sampras' all-time record of 14 grand slam titles, his style of play is a thing of beauty. whether he's playing for the title or playing the first round of umag i'm still watching his matches.

but today he leaves no more doubt. even though it wasn't nadal on the other side of the court, he beat robin soderling (who took out nadal) for the title and got the win. now it's on to wimbledon where he can (hopefully) again try to take revenge for last year's loss to nadal in "greatest match ever played" (and you better believe if it wasn't for the fact that nadal won there would be no quotation marks around that) and try and win his 6th wimbledon title (and you better believe if he serves like he did during the french open on grass he'll do it easy) and break sampras' grand slam record going for title #15. hoo boy, exciting next month.. i can't wait.
