What's Next For Rafa?

With another season of tennis coming to an end, it's time for the US Hard court swing. Rafa won all (yes, all,) titles in the US last year. He will defend 4000 points in Toronto, Cincinnati and the US Open. Rafa's got his work cut out, but after a long rest at home with family and friends he'll be as ready as ever.

Novak Djokovic winning Wimbledon results in him regaining the number 1 spot, but its still very close, there's only 460 points between Novak and Rafa. Being number 2 doesn't bother Rafa, and it shouldn't bother us either. Last year, Rafa only gained the number 1 at the ATP world tour finals, so he won 10 tournaments as number 2. Rafa once said 'Number 1 doesn't always win.' and thats exactly right, it doesn't change anything. It gives Rafa a goal, the aim to be back on top. This'll make him work harder.

It's been a good year so far, the obvious highlight being Roland Garros. So far Rafa's picked up 4 titles, can he get some more before the season ends?
