Rafa wins again!

Rafael Nadal didn't play at his best, but he didn't need to. He swept Tomas Berdych in straight sets to win the Wimbledon trophy last Sunday. His win by the numbers:

• 2nd Wimbledon title
• 2nd Grand Slam title this year
• 2nd time he has completed the elusive French Open-Wimbledon double
• 8th Grand Slam title in his career. He now has the same number of slam titles as Andre Agassi, Jimmy Connors, and Ivan Lendl.

Nadal now has an almost 4000 point lead over current #2 Novak Djokovic, which gives him a very good chance of ending the year #1. He now has his sights set on winning the US Open, the only Grand Slam event where he hasn't made an appearance in the finals yet. If he can maintain his form and remain healthy, he might have a chance of completing the career Grand Slam. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.
