If I might add, I now think Nadal has an excellent chance to break Roger's Grand Slam record. He's young enough and dominant on all surfaces. There's also no one younger nipping at his heels. Fed had Djokovic, Nadal and Murray nipping at his heels ready to take the crown. Is anyone really nipping at Nadal's heels?

When Federer began his domination he had no one after him. Nadal emerged as a counterweight but only on clay for the first year or two. Later he expanded his horizons and started competing with Roger on all surfaces.

I think Rafa has the same competitors Roger had, so I'm not that optimistic.

Finally, I'm cautious about today. First lets see if he wins before anointing him anything.
