Tennis Betting: Nadal Wins Grand Slam

Tennis Champion Rafael Nadal won the Grand Slam on monday by defeating Novak Djokovic in the 2010 U. S Open men’s singles final in New York.

With this historical triumph, Rafael Nadal, became the first player since 1969 to win the French Open, Wimbledon and U. S Open in the exact same season.

Rafael Nadal is commonly considered to be the world’s best clay-court player ever – having earned an unrivalled 81-match clay court winning streak which was concluded in 2006, however his control by winning the Roland Garros French open (the largest clay-court tournament) for FOUR years in a row (2005 to 2008) says it all. Rafa is one of the most popular players for tennis betting fans.

Neither the New York rain, which had seen the final postponed on Sunday and then cut off for just about two hours on Monday, nor Djokovic could stop the Spaniard’s constant march to the one title that still eluded him.

In the year 2006, Nadal showed the entire world (and every
free bets punter) that he is a dynamic player, when he played his way to the final of the grass-court Wimbledon Tennis Championship, where he lost to Roger Federer – however in 2008 he overcome Federer for his first significant success on a non-clay surface. Not one to relax on his laurels, 2009 saw Nadal win the Australian Open and reach the semi’s of the 2009 US Open. 2011 will probably be another year for exceptional tennis results for Nadal.
