For two years, since I started my blog on Roland Garros,
Rafa has won the French Open. However, this year, it seems like the “King of
Clay” has run out of steam. Looking back at the stats, he has only won two clay
court events this year so far i.e. in Rio (February) and recently the Madrid
Open(May).
He suffered losses in Monte Carlo to David Ferrer in the
quarter final, Barcelona (lost to Almagro) and Rome to Djokovic.
In 2013, I mentioned that his most formidable opponent was
Djokovic. No doubt, this year he(Djokovic) still is. This might just be it for
the Serb and what a better time to take advantage of Rafa’s waning winning
streak. May the best man win.
