Hail to the “King”…..
Not sure we’re ever gonna see sports dominance (again) like Nadal at the French. 
Rudd has a nice game and future, but wasn’t ready for the GOAT at a Roland Garros Final.

NBC must be chapped - coulda had Rafa and Joker this AM (most likely) instead if the tournament had seeded correctly.
McEnroe had a “Freudian slip” during the commentary that I noticed (when discussing seeding) - “politics” at work in the game right now.  ATP/WTA is trying to get fan interest in the “younger” players.  Except Nadal and Joker keep winning the Slams….  I looked at the ATP projections post French and Nadal is only 3rd.  Lol.  He’s halfway to a Calendar Slam and just won his 22nd overall.  He’s # 1 in the sport right now until someone beats him In a Championship Tournament.  End of rant….

It will be interesting to see if Rafa plays Wimbledon.  Grass prelims start in a few weeks.  I doubt he enters - rest the foot for the US Open.  Hope Roger comes back for a farewell in London.  If I was a betting man, though, I’d wager that Joker wins Wimbledon (again).  Even if he’s unseeded.  There is some nice serve and volley young talent on the men’s side.  But Joker has won the last three Wimbledon’s and is the defending champ.  He’s # 1 at that venue until someone beats him there.

Could set up an epic US Open for the Grand Slam record.  Joker playing to tie Nadal’s record 22.  Nadal playing to extend his lead.  Or maybe Medvedev, or Zverev or someone else breaks their strangle hold on the sport.  Looking forward to the rest of the season.
