Rafael Nadal’s mesmerising march to his fifth French Open crown on Sunday provided the boldest of memoirs that the special Spaniard is back to his frightening best.
A straight sets thrashing of Swede Robin Soderling in the final must have left a sweet taste in the Majorcans mouth, gaining revenge for his fourth round defeat to the world number six in 2009 ending Nadal’s four year grip on Roland Garros as Roger Federer swooped in to claim the cherished ‘Grand Slam’.
The red dirt of Paris though is a far cry from the new world numbers ones next port of call. Queen’s Club, London awaits for Nadal, who was a winner in 2008 as Wimbledon’s traditional pre tune up serves as the perfect remedy ahead of the heralded grass at SW19.
Fellow countryman and grass court novice, unseeded Marc Lopez is Nadal’s second round opponent today as the 24 year old looks to conjure up the form that saw him pull the curtain down on Roger Federer’s Wimbledon dominance in 2008.
