Tennis betting fans won’t be surprised that today Spanish tennis pro Rafael Nadal won the Grand Slam Monday after defeating Novak Djokovic in the 2010 U. S Open men’s singles final.

With this historic victory, Rafael Nadal, became the first person since 1969 to win the French Open, Wimbledon and U. S Open in the same year.

Rafael Nadal is generally thought to be the world’s finest clay-court player ever – having earned an unrivalled 81-match clay court winning streak which ended in 2006, however his domination by winning the Roland Garros French open (the greatest clay-court tournament) for 4 years in a row (2005 to 2008) says it all. Rafa is one of the most popular players for tennis betting fans.

Neither the New York rain, which had seen the final postponed on Sunday and then interrupted for almost two hours on Monday, nor Djokovic could halt the Spaniard’s persistent march to the one title that still eluded him.

In the year 2006, Nadal showed the entire world that he is a strong player, when he played his way to the final of the grass-court Wimbledon Tennis Championship, where he lost to Roger Federer – nevertheless in 2008 he defeated Federer for his first significant success on a non-clay surface. Not one to relax on his laurels, 2009 saw Nadal win the Australian Open and get to the semi’s of the 2009 US Open. 2011 will probably be another epic year for Nadal’s tennis results
