RAFAEL NADAL IS IN BEIJING AFTER CINCINNATI

The above pictures of Rafael Nadal are from the Semi-Final match in Cincinnati August 2, 2008.
Novak Djokovic won 6-1, 7-5.
The pictures are from Daylife,
but sometimes Daylife pictures are really from Getty.
Just hard to know who to give credit, although I try.

Rafa had played in the final match of 8 of the last 10 matches he played in. He won 7 of those final matches, including Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Hamburg, Roland Garros, Queens Club, Wimbledon, Toronto. All three surfaces: clay, grass and hard. He lost in Miami.

Rafa was tired, very tired in Cincinnati. He played more tennis than any other competitor because he won the most matches.

Now, he is in Beijing, to play for his country of Spain.
