Eight is not enough for Rafael Nadal

Well, life in Paris for tennis fans is over for 2013. The French Open ended today with Rafael Nadal winning his eighth title at Roland Garros. For the women, Serena Williams overpowered Maria Sharapova in the final yesterday. Serena Williams won her second title at Roland Garros. Sharapova won her semifinal in three sets over Victoria Azarenka, which made Maria less rested for the final. This problem hurt Sharapova in the final. For Nadal, he beat David Ferrer in a quick three sets. It was David's first final in Paris, while Rafa was playing in his eighth one in Paris. Next up for the tennis world is Wimbledon, the third major grand slam of the year. Hope this year's tournament is as good as last year's for Roger Federer & Maria Sharapova. Both of my favorite players (from men's & women's side) need to win this tournament. C'est vrai as the french would say!
