Nadal MUST have very seriously thought how close he was to maybe ending his career @ 2014 Roland Garros final.
Something at the final confirmed that he WAS thinking it - unequivocally.
What was it?
First correct answer = Wall Of Fame listing.
Winner / Correct answer = Wednesday, June 18, 2014.

1.Winning the 9th Roland Garros, thats 9 Grand Slams on the same surface and the highest record so far for a player to win a GS like that in the open era
2.Getting to no.14. Its already a GOAT mark , at par with Sampras. Another 3 more GS perhaps wouldnt be that far fetched
3.Persistent back pain
4.Uncle Toni wanted to get married

I mean the highest record for a male tennis player. I think Steffi Graff or Martina Navratilova did some 8-9 times on the same surface or so
Posted by: Manal | 06/12/2014 at 02:29 AM
Navratilova has 9 Wimbledons, with a total of 18 slams. Steffi Graf has the most balanced resume: 7 Wimbledons, 6 French Opens, 5 US Opens, and 4 Australian Opens, for a total of 22 grand slam titles.

He "invaded" the grandstand to give his uncle a hug.
Posted by: Bento | 06/12/2014 at 08:18 AM
He cried, twice. On court and on the podium.
Posted by: Veglia | 06/12/2014 at 10:08 AM
whatever he whispered in Uncle Toni's ear.
BTW can we have the answer of the one that ended Friday.?
Or TP are you really Federer in disguise and like the end at Halle you forgot !!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Stella | 06/14/2014 at 11:26 AM
It's the fact that nadal spoke of djokovic so highly, like, "he deserves a title here', "tennis owes djokovic a title at rg'. stuff like that indicate he's thinking about it with himself not in the pitchker.
Posted by: O | 06/14/2014 at 12:11 PM
That is a great thought
Posted by: Vr | 06/14/2014 at 04:07 PM
Federer father of 4, Djokovic will be father of 1: heck besides GS title he has to start getting the numbers for the father title. oh wait he is not even married yet !!! DARN he suddenly realized it. Man ! Auntie Toni please let me have baby soon PLEASEEEE he whispered in his ears.
But Auntie Toni had said NO NO NO before. Man you dare not sleep with the lights off, how can you think of being a father???? Auntie barked.. what am I going to do my nephew if you retireeeeee????? How selfish you only think of yourself??? drink more juice and smarten up for Wimbledon...

Posted by: Veglia | 06/15/2014 at 07:39 PM

Posted by: Stella | 06/15/2014 at 08:00 PM

Posted by: ricky | 06/16/2014 at 02:35 AM
At his final speech he said things like "all that is more than enough... unforgetable forever"

Finding best of 3 or 5 sets tough, a struggle.
Posted by: jett09 | 06/18/2014 at 02:01 PM
Alex: you've learned very well from Teep!!
Who won the last one?
And Stella: "...Federer in disguise..." GOOD ONE
Posted by: DSG | 06/18/2014 at 02:14 PM
Hi DSG !!
Posted by: alex | 06/18/2014 at 03:01 PM
WINNER: BENTO.
Wasn't this just the second time in 14 attempts that he scaled the player box? And wasn't this one far more 'intense' than the first one - despite it being Roland Garros - specially when compared to some grass court Slam? Wonder what could be the reason!!!!!!
Posted by: Tennis Planet | 06/18/2014 at 04:35 PM
Congratulations bento!
Posted by: Manal | 06/18/2014 at 08:15 PM
Bento well done.
Posted by: alex | 06/19/2014 at 09:57 AM
Ah, Bento: congrats. How on earth did you happen to think what was in Teep's precious mind???
Hey Alex!! I have given up on entering the contests...
Posted by: DSG | 06/19/2014 at 12:48 PM
well done Bento.
But be worried, be very worried, your mind and TP's are starting to think as one !!!
Posted by: Stella | 06/19/2014 at 04:14 PM
Please do not give up Deep Sea Lady !! I am sure you will win one of these days and... when that happens you may be invited to visit his basement... and you may even have a chance to see his collection... and you will of course Youtube it or show us all right here... yes I am been wanting to see it for a long time.. so please do not give up ok.
Posted by: alex | 06/19/2014 at 07:23 PM
