The numbers game and the King of Clay ...

Whilst we're still progressing through tournament 4 of the 5 event clay court season for 2009, Tennis.com has published some unbelievable stats to add weight to the view that Rafa is potentially the greatest clay court player of all time.

Remarkably, he is 173-14 in his record to date on clay, which reflects a 92.5 winning percentage, and since his break-through year of 2005, he has a 147-4 winning record which equates to a staggering 97.3 winning percentage.

All this might be a bit previous as we are of course hoping he does well in Madrid, but more importantly, he keeps his flawless winning streak at Roland Garros to lift his 5th consecutive French Open title. But the article makes astounding reading nonetheless.
