I need rubber bands

It was recently announced that the singles champions at the French open will walk away with $1.7 million in their pockets with an increase of $300,000 from last years tournament. It was also announced that the Grand Slam tournament is going up to $25 million with that being nearly $5 million more then 2010's tournament. Wimbledon announced only on day earlier that its singles champs will also receive near that of the French champions, $1.8 million.
This is indicating that the tennis funding and sponsoring is still increasing in activity. Which ultimately means that the sport is increasing in popularity and competition.

Good NEWZZ for the tennis competitors.

Novak Djokovic confident on beating Nadal

Novak is saying that this year he is confident on beating Nadal.  The world no.1 Nadal has complete dominance on clay courts yet Novak says that "he is playing with a lot more confidence against Nadal these days".  Djovokic was unable to attend Monte Carlo crown and Barcelona  as he missed both events beacuse of a knee problem therefore was not able to face Nadal in these two tournaments.  I have a feeling that Djovokic is feeling a bit to cocky and over his head. I think that Nadal will hand it to him and there is a reason why Nadal is no.1 and Novak is no.2 he simply is not good enough yet to be no.1 and  his winning streak will end soon enough...

Nadal creates history in Barcelona

World number 1, Rafael Nadal has become the first man to win two titles six or more times by winning the Barcelona Open. The Spanish top seed, with 34 consecutive victories on clay, repeated his victory a week ago when he beat Ferrer for a seventh Monte Carlo trophy. Nadal improved to a phenomenal 31-2 in claycourt finals with his only two losses coming to Roger Federer at Hamburg in 2007 and Madrid two years ago. Nadal's comprehensive victory was his 13th in 17 matches played against Ferrer, defeating David Ferrer 6-2 6-4.

Nadal, the reigning French Open champion, has not lost on clay since going out to Robin Soderling in the fourth round at Roland Garros in 2009. Over the course of his 34-match unbeaten clay run, Nadal has won 76 of 79 sets. He lost just 21 games during the week in Barcelona.
I have an instinctive feeling that Nadal will be the greatest male tennis player of all time. C'MON RAFA!!!
