Sixteen Grand Slam Titles

In a lopsided encounter on Sunday, Spanish world number one Rafael Nadal, defeated Czech Thomas Berdych to win his 2nd Wimbledon tennis crown to add to his 1 Australian Open-and 5 French Open titles.
Tennis commentators and enthusiasts are already debating how long it will take Nadal, who is only 24, to overtake Roger Federer's record 16 Grand Slam titles. Although the Swiss master is not near retirement, not many is expecting him to have much more Grand Slam success - not with the likes of Nadal, and other young upcoming stars like Brittain's Andy Murray, Serbian Novak Djokovic, Sweed Robin Soderling, and Berdych around.
I'm one of those who has found great pleasure in watching the sublime skills of King Roger - hoping that he has one more Slam left in those legs. Oh, and his mother is a South African tannie! Some consolation after years of unfulfilled promise watching Wayne Ferreira play. ;-) 2010 might be his last year.
