Tuesday Boxing: ¡Vamos, Rafa! Edition

Your 2013 U.S. Open Champion

If not the GOAT, the GOAT (Grittiest Of All Time)…

When these guys — the Nadal & the Djoker — get together, it is suffering on the court. It is deep-sea game-fishing where you’re strapped to the chair and someone else has to dab the sweat off your forehead and they hold the cold rum and lime to your lips for relief. It is a true heavyweight title fight carried out with racquets and balls. It is a brute exercise of sheer will with a little finesse and geometry thrown in for the brain. If top-class tennis is a Triathlon, top-class golf is tiddly-winks. There is no comparison. Rafa already is capable of becoming a scratch golfer. On the other hoof, could tubbie John Daly play 6.0-level tennis? Fat chance!

¡Vamos, Rafa! ¡Ud. es número uno siempre, el mejor en todo el mundo ahora y el mejor por toda la historia!
