Congrats to Rafa!

Indeed. 9 'Slams and the Career 'Slam at 24. I said he could end up with 18-20 'Slams when his career is over if he stays healthy, and I'll standby that. The only guys who seem to trouble him anymore are tall, heavy hitters like Soderling, Berdych and del Potro who can hit through the court and handle his high topspin-laden shots. The only other guy I've seen give him trouble is Murray, and I think it's only a matter of time before Rafa counters Murray's new offensive style he uses. 

Anyway, what started out looking like a dry and down time for tennis in the early 2000's with Sampras, Rafter, Kafelnikov and Courier retiring, Kuerten disappearing and Agassi slowly losing it has turned into another great generation. Fed should be continuing his magical career for another two years at the least to me, and then you have guys like Rafa, Djokovic, Murray, del Potro, Berdych, Tsonga and Cilic who should be around another 4-5 years if they can stay healthy.
