The all time legend of clay strikes again, congratulations to Rafa Nadal. He really is a legend on this surface, let's see how he gets on soon during the grass season.

Incredible Rafa Nadal who wins the Roland Garros for the 10th time (2005,2006,2007,2008,2010,2011,2012,2013,2014,2017).
For the third time he wins the tournament without losing 1 set(2008,2010,2017).
Has lost only 35 games throughout the tournament (his personal record).

It is a great season for him, who is just waiting to return to the top in the ranking atp

He is truly one of the greatest on tennis player if not the greatest clay court player there is. The longtime fan favorite also ended a Grand Slam drought that dated to the 2014 French Open. As a fan, I'm very very happy seeing him lifting the trophy again. I have nothing against Stan, but it looks like Nadal totally dominated him. And I think Nadal with his flawless performance, no matter who is opponent is, will never got a chance against him. I think he should be the oldest tennis player at 31 to reach the 15 slam.

Murray has to defend 2000 points (he won the tournament last year), while Nadal can only earn points since last year did not participate.
It would be amazing to see up to year, at first place Nadal and at second place Federer

Beginning of this year, he is in below 4th rank now 2nd place yes in next tournament he will reach 1st place. It is nice to see Nadal in 1st Rank. Last year many people told that Nadal time is over he wants to take retirement now what you say, guys? He is a simply amazing player. I love to watch his game.

Nadal is an amazing player, if he hasn't got any injury then will become the all time most grand slam Winning player, his speed, strength and techniques are just fantabulous, basically his return is so beautiful, hopefully Nadal will play more 3 or 4 years, so that we will be able to enjoy more fantastic game from Nadal.

LOL. As if Nadal got his second wind, and now performs like his younger self. I hope he and Federer will go out and win another trophy between the two. I have no doubt that with winning the Roland Garros, he put himself as the greatest clay court tennis player of all time. And yeah, I just hope he stays healthy so that we can still see him play more fantastic tennis.

I think Federer is choosing his tournaments wisely and Nadal should follow Federer's footstep next year or in a couple of years. I really hope we see Federer win the Wimbledon this time. There are some nextgen players popping up here and there and are gathering the experience. From next year on its going to be a lil hard for the greats as Thiem, Zverev, Kyrgios and others are really stepping up their game. Going to be really interesting next couple of years.

I agree as we have seen it has worked for Federer and I can't see why it wouldn't work for Nadal as well. I think it's good for tennis that we are still seeing these 2 great players playing and winning tournaments and Grand Slams. This brings in the fans and also boost t.v ratings so the longer they can go on the better for the game. There is some great talent coming through the ranks which I'm hoping will produce a Federer or Nadal in the next few years which can last 15 years or so like Nadal and Federer.

Nadal withdrew from Queens as he needs rest . I feel this is the best time for him to take rest , he should be back to Wimbledon fit and fine then we can expect Federer v Nadal finals Hope Federer is in the same form as he started out this year .

Yes, this is the right time to take some rest for Nadal. He played continues tournaments since last 3 to 4 months, so he needs some rest to prepare well for Wimbledon event. It is a big event, and if he wins this cup he may reach top first in ATP ranking right? And Federer is also in the same form I hope these two will come to finals. If this happens then that day, it is a big festival for tennis lovers.

I think players are also evolving. Similar to 2000's when the likes of Federer and Williams sister arrived. Now the young guns you mentioned are upping their game and its just a matter of time that the "oldies" will be having a hard time defending their crowns because of this young player. So expect in the next years to come that we will have a new dominant male and female not named, Djokovic, Murray, Nadal and Federer.

Well likewise mate this two veterans would be a such great contender this coming Wimbledon as they really showing great games resting now and being well prepared would be the best thing to do so fans all over the tennis world will see much entertaining game if this both players will meet again.

I think this guys is really choosing what tournament to play that will benefit them more. First it was Federer who took this body to rest and now its Nadal's turn. With the youth coming out, this veterans will likely need a lot of rest to be able to cope with the rising young tennis stars. Its still a long way before the end of the year, but we are going to see those veterans taking more time to rest their body and heal.

Now young players are booming in a tennis game, and they are really playing unpredictable games and beating top players in main events. Not in a knockout match in league match only they are beating top players. So this is prestige matter for senior players. So all hopes on Federer and Nadal these two top class players are fav in this tournament. My choice is also Federer may win his 8th Wimbledon.

Federer lost to Haas He had match point in the second set but failed to convert it . Haas is not a nobody in tennis , he is very experienced as you mentioned and really happy to see him win . Hope Federer comes back strong in Wimbledon .

Everybody have an eye on Federer I hope he will not spoil his fans dream. In this tournament, he is the superhero he won already 7 times this cup suppose this time if he wins this cup it will become a record. But he will face very tough competition this time, Nadal is giving an outstanding performance and other some young players also playing fantastically. In this tough competition how Federer will manage to win this cup let's see.

This is Haas' fourth victory against Federer. So it is not totally unexpected. I think the result might have been different if it was a 5-setter.
Still, a setback for Federer's preparation for Wimbledon.

Nadal has problems with injuries because of his approach to every game and tournament. It is not possible for human to play that explosive every point on a long therm. It is logically for some injuries to happened. Wimbledon is not his favorite surface although he won two titles there. Good thing for him is that he is in a great form and full of self confidence. That could help him to win it and get first place on ATP list. Also hard surface tournaments are coming. In the past he complain that there is so much tournaments on hard surface and it is very bad for everybody knees, especially for his knees(running for every ball). I can`t wait to see how he prepared him self for Wimbledon.

Federer did not play for almost 3 months, it is normal that he is not 100% of the shape.
I think it will be in the right shape for Wimbledon and will be surely one of the favorites.
