Taking a brief respite from the Philly / Chicago debate, this is a picture of Rafael Nadal serving during the early rounds of the US Open tennis tournament. Since he burst onto the scene at the NASDAQ 100 back in December of 2003and nearly beat Roger Federer in five tough sets, Nadal has been my favorite male tennis player. Although he has fewer grand slams than Federer, he has a decided edge on Fed in their head to head matches, particularly in grand slam finals. He has won all four grand slams and is on his way to possibly matching or exceeding Fed's total. And, perhaps best of all, he is modest. My choice for the best ever, Rafael Nadal. And I don't even know enough to put forward a strong case for him.
Philly - 3; Chicago - 0; Spain - 1.
