Declining Balance

Most attention has been skewed towards Nadal's some what freak performances over the past few weeks, but this has also meant that previous number ranked player Federer has become a little less relevant. He was once the most dominating forces in the tennis scene who held the number one title for 237 weeks, but lately we have seen a big shift in his performances. But perhaps we are being too critical as many believe the smaller titles he has been loosing lately is acceptable and that he really has his eyes set on the major's. Only time will tell but one thing is for sure, he is not nearly as good as he use to be as he gets closer to the fragile sporting age of 30.

Stoser through to the 2nd round of the WTA

Good news! A fellow Australian has made it through the second round of the WTA. Samantha Stoser,  the fifth seed Australian tennis player, will now take on Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia for the second round. She had beaten Martinez Sanchez for the first round by 7-5 6-1 and she said that she is pleased with the win, unlike her loss in January on the Australian open when she lost in the third round. I am glad that an Australian has won the first round in the WTA and I wish her the best in the future matches.

Nadal makes it seven in Monte Carlo

World number one Rafael Nadal has claimed his seventh straight Monte Carlo Masters title with a supherb victory over his spanish rival, David Ferrer. Nadal was playing his third straight final after losing to Novak Djokovic in title bids last month at Indian Wells and Miami. Ferrer admitted that he had again been beaten by the best. "Rafa is incredible on clay, he's everywhere at the same time," said Ferrer. "He's the best player on clay in history." Nadal has ruled at Monte Carlo since losing his only match in the principality in his 2003 debut year as a 16-year-old. He has now won 37 straight Monte Carlo matches with a 39-1 record at the tournament.

Rafael Nadal pronounced himself "a lucky guy" after sweeping to a seventh straight Monte Carlo Masters title by dispatching fellow Spaniard David Ferrer 6-4 7-5. "It would have been impossible to imagine a few years ago winning seven titles here,'' Nadal said after a victory in two hours and 16 minutes, his 12th of 16 against his good friend. YEAH RAFA WHAT A VICTORY!!!
