81 straight on clay. xeekx I'm honestly very surprised at this, especially with Fed going 4 events without winning lately.

Nadal's 81 consecutive wins on Clay is nothing short of amazing. Nothing will bring men's tennis back to the forefront like a good rivalry, and these two have one in the making - maybe it will eventually rival what Sampras and Agassi had a decade ago.

That was the last really great men's tennis rivalry. I'll never forget when Connors, Vilas, Borg, McEnroe, Lendl, Tanner et al. squared off all the time. Agassi - Sampras seemed like the end of that era.
