If you think that Rafael Nadal is “only” the King of Clay, you are damn wrong.

The Spanish sensation reaches the semifinal in Wimbledon after beating Juan Martin Del Potro in a passionate 5 setter.

After exchanging the first 4 sets, Nadal was the underdog in the decider as Juan Martin was holding his serve with ease while Rafa was struggling almost in every game. Eventually, it was just one sloppy service game from Del Potro that costed the decisive break. The final score was 7-5 6-7 (7) 4-6 6-4 6-4.

What a finale!

The most beautiful part of the match was the end when Rafa went over the net to give a huge hug to Juan Martin.

The semifinal vs. Djokovic

Rafa will face Novak Djokovic in the semifinal. The head to head is 26-25 for Djokovic. Impossible to pick a favorite.
