The Active King of Clay Keeps on Soaring

If women's tennis has the gorgeous Maria Sharapova, then men's tennis has the active Rafael Nadal, the current world's number 2 tennis player according to ATP.

Nadal, who is usually called by his followers as "Rafa" holds the record of 60 straight wins in clay, making him the winningest player in clay history. Rafa who is continuously praised for his excellence in playing clay tennis court is the absolute reason world's number 1 tennis player Roger Federer's career is not yet complete. Since this Spanish lad turned professional in 2001, many tennis followers have acknowledged his excellence and his charm on and off the court. But, there are also groups of people, especially the French, who are not impressed with the active Nadal due to the fact that Nadal always beats their players. Such attitude is thoroughly inadequate and so disgracing for the French people considering they are the host of the Roland Garros tournament.

Still, Nadal can cope with the issues of being a big shot. At an early age, he has done a lot and I am certain that he can still accomplish more. Right now, he is only nineteen years old which means that he can win more games as long as he stays vigorous and injury-free. So for all Federer's followers, sorry because the “King of Clay” will continue to give headaches to your favorite.
