Wonder if Roger beats him at the French. Nadal is playing well enough that he really needs to win that one.

Serena is 20 weeks pregnant, so she won the aussie carrying a kid.

Nadal back to back titles. Will be interesting to see if he can beat Roger on clay next month at the French.

Federer withdraws from French. Probably doesn't want to play any Clay with how Nadal has been playing.

Dang, was looking forward to it. Pretty amazing him and Rafa are playing the best tennis in the world right now.

He hasn't played on clay forever and hasn't been in any of the clay tournaments this year. Probably just best to focus on grass as he probably didn't have a realistic chance to win the French with no prep.

Yeah smart move probably. He had said before he played the American hard courts that he was going to rest after them up until the French.

Nadal should be well rested, Stan is going to need to sleep in an ice bath the next two days before the match.

Continues for at least another month or so the string of no player born in the 1990s winning a Grand Slam title. Pretty remarkable given that the eldest should be in their prime.

Rafa putting on a show. Pretty crazy that if Roger didn't have his revival this year that Rafa would have a legit claim as GOAT if he won Aussie and French this year. Still has an outside chance as GOAT but Federer probably has that locked up. Up 3-1 in the 5th at the Aussie before Roger turned the table. Wimbledon should be amazing.
