Rafa - French Open

Newly crowned champ has won this thing now 11 times.



That is an incredible tennis legacy. 17 Majors, and won them all.



I love watching greatness.

Great? Yes, both he and Federer are amazing. Seems to me the mens game is awful. It news new blood. Maybe Rod Laver can make a comeback.

There is some new blood coming, Zverev and Thiem for example, but these guys are showing how truly all time great they are. To be winning this much at this age in tennis is incredible.

Djokovic should have been the dominant one by now. The table was set. Two aging stars and Novo just fell off the table. I just don't see the men's game as incredible. Raja and Federer are truly great players. I'll never question that. They've held the throne too long. You can say it's their greatness. That's fine. They are great. Someone should be challenging by now. And because no one has challenged I think it takes away from the greatness of the game.

Murray and Djokivic were there and had actually surpassed them, but their bodies couldn't hold up. The men's game these days is grueling. Federer and Nadal have remained mostly healthy, especially Federer.

Djokovic seems like a really good guy. i'm happy for him. I still wanna see new blood though. In the men's semi's everyone was over 30 years old.
