⇒ wimbledon day 2 quote
Q. Which one of his (Federer's) records do you think is his most impressive?
RAFAEL NADAL: Every one. Every one is amazing. If I have to say something, 23 semifinals in a row of Grand Slam.
Q. Why?
RAFAEL NADAL: Because is five years, almost six years, playing all four Grand Slams. You can have no one injury, no one bad day, so is amazing. That's my feeling, no? So 23 semifinals in a row, in my opinion, impossible to do it another time.

Q. You spoke about what you felt was Roger's most amazing record. Of your tremendous accomplishments, what do you think your best achievement is?
RAFAEL NADAL: 81 matches straight on clay. That's a lot.
yup

⇒ wimbledon 2010: it's on
Once the clay court season was going to come around, it was always logical that Rafa was going to pick up tournaments.
I don't know. I don't want to say nobody expected him to win all four. But I know his level of play on clay. It's supreme to anybody. So it was impressive to see how well he played. He deserves to be world No. 1 again.
-Roger Federer
speaking of Fed, he just survived 2 sets down, 4-4 0-40 in the third in the First Round! Alejandro Falla (Columbia) was the other guy. He's been pretty vulnerable of late.
