ONE DOWN, TWO TO GO

Pic courtsy: Troll Tennis
It was 3rd Championship point for Rafael Nadal, Albert Ramos-Vinolas was serving to save the match. A nervous double fault and the tennis records were changed. “La Decima” was complete.
The result of Monte Carlo Masters was nothing unexpected, in fact the result all tennis fans hoped for. The whole tennis world erupted in joy as history was created. With this one win Nadal became the ever first man in an open era to win a single tournament 10 times. With this one win he also completed 50 title haul on clay and 29 “Masters 1000” title. It was a moment of pure joy, as he lifted the very much known trophy high above his head.
Nadal lost all 3 previous finals this year on hard court after fighting hard. But this was the 1st final on clay and The KING of Clay raised above all the others to better his own records on his favourite surface. After the tremendous amount of hard work and struggle of first 3 months, this victory was much needed to him and his fans. In the previous week everyone witnessed the best of Nadal’s game. 
Even after winning the crown for 10th time there is no time to relax for Rafa, as the next tournament starts within just 24 hours, in Barcelona. A tournament where the organisers have already renamed the centre court after their greatest and 9 times champion. The court will be called ‘Court Rafa Nadal’ from this year onwards. This year Nadal will be defending his title in this very court.
The upcoming month holds more tournaments on clay and more titles are up for grab, before we go to Paris for final showdown. The grand slam of clay is yet another tournament where the Nadal holds 9 crowns and if keep playing like he did last week there is no stoping him from improving the number to double digits. One clay court is won and two more to go for La Decima. So,  Rafan around the world keep your fingers crossed and pray, because our King is rising.
