Why am I mentioning this post on Rafael Nadal? Didn't he lose before on clay courts or what? Is he an immortal coming to the game of tennis on clay courts? Yes, my answer is yes. Considering the winning streak he has on clay courts, he is the hero of clay court tennis.
The second-ranked Spaniard lost on clay for only the second time in 105 matches, falling to countryman Juan Carlos Ferrero 7-5, 6-1 in the second round of the Rome Masters. Did I mention it is the just the second time in 105 outings on a clay court, him being ranked second and under the cloud of the legend Roger Federrer.
I was awestruck with the record that he held and still holding for the continuous winning streak of 81 consecutive matches on clay, a streak that began in 2005. Don't you think this is a formidable task. Because of this rare stint, even his lose is mentioned in my blog.
