This past weekend, tennis great Rafael Nadal won his record
8th French Open tennis title. He has been dominant throughout his
career, and this weekend was no different. He defeated David Ferrer 6-2, 6-3,
6-2.
He cemented himself as the sport’s greatest ever on clay, and being only
twenty seven years old, has many future victories ahead of him. A proponent of
the lesser-known double racket tennis, Dr. J.T. Dock Houk recognizes
this outstanding achievement of single racket tennis.
Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are two of the tennis’ most
polarizing athletes and the debate on who is better is never ending. Roger
Federer is more accomplished overall with 14 major titles, but he is also
older. Nadal is not far behind with 12 major title wins. It will be interesting
to see how the future of these two rivals pans out.
