Rafael Nadal’s Clay Play can Make Play-Doh Blush

Domination.

This is exactly what Rafael Nadal displayed, every single time he plays clay. And no, I’m not talking about the times Nadal plays and then eats his Play-Doh.

Last week, Nadal’s phone rang (who cares huh?) and on the other end of the line was tennis legend, Guillermo Vilas, a four Grand Slam title champion and the very man who held a record of consecutive victories on clay since 1977.

A record never broken, until a Rafael Nadal came in.

Vilas said, ‘’I'm angry. You’re showing a lack of respect for your elders. If I see you, I don’t know what I’m going to do to you.'’

Hmm… A little bitter perhaps?

Nadal, being the stupid Spaniard that he is, (and the last thing we need is yet another stupid Spaniard changing sports history eh?) Nadal stammered for a moment before catching on.

Nadal broke Vilas’ mark with his 54th straight win on clay, overcoming a 4-2 deficit in the 68-minute second set and beating Robin Soderling of Sweden 6-2, 7-5, 6-1 at Roland Garros to begin defense of his first Grand Slam title.

On-court trophy ceremonies are usually reserved for the closing weekend of a major tennis tournament. Yet after finishing off Soderling, Nadal was presented with a rectangular glass box containing the multiple layers of a clay court, and highlights from his French Open championship were shown on the video screens overhead.

A tad over the top? Perhaps. But everyone seemed to agree this is an impressive achievement. - ESPN

Impressive? Well, if you wanna impress J.J. Jack, you’ll show me one of them erotic positions, hold it for an hour, and then take in all of my long and throbbing di…

And no, I’m not asking Nadal. Maybe his girlfriend Maria perhaps?

‘’It’s a lot of tournaments, a lot of matches,'’ Rafael Nadal said. ‘’Getting the record here adds something extra.'’

‘’It’s satisfying because he knows he’s entered tennis history a bit,'’ said Nadal’s coach and uncle, Toni. ‘’We know that the main thing is not to break these records, but to win tournaments.'’

Exactly.
