Nadal becomes the first player since Björn Borg in 1980 to win both the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year.

From April 2005 to May 2007, Nadal won a record 81 consecutive clay court matches before being defeated by Federer in the 2007 Hamburg Masters final. This is the longest winning streak of any male player on a single surface in the open era.


Nadal is undefeated at the French Open, having won all 28 matches and four single titles. These achievements have led some to regard Nadal as the greatest clay-court player in the history of the sport.


He is ranked world number two (for a record 156 consecutive weeks) :tongue:
 
It was one of the best tennis matches ever! Reminded me of the marathons between Borg and McEnroe. Pity that Federer had to lose.

But Federer's comeback after being 2 sets down showed his mental strength. Nadal's effort was monumental. He was hitting winners from the corners of the court. Other players would have struggled to just reach those balls.
