Rafael Nadal is having a fantastic run at the current Roland Garros to reach the 4th round without dropping a single set and serving 2 bagels (6-0) and 2 breadsticks (6-1) on the way.
It seems that the biggest challenge for the Spanish legend is not winning one match after the other, but speaking French in the on court interviews. After being so successful in Paris, the 12-times Roland Garros champion committed to learning some French. However, after his clash against Stefano Travaglia, Rafa could not find his words in French during a funny exchange with Cedric Pioline. Here the video.
