Weekend winners
Novak Djokovic has a good reason to throw his racket during the men's final match at the Artois Championship tennis tournament in Queen's Club. Just like the French Open semifinal match recently, Djokovic has been leading quite comfortably at 3-0 in the first set but Nadal stormed back and win the tie breaker.
Nadal continues to win another tie breaker in the second set making him the first Spaniard since Andres Gimeno in 1972 to win in a grass court title. Nadal won 7-6, 7-5.
In Germany, Roger Federer won the final match of the ATP International Series tennis tournament Gerry Weber Open against Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber in Halle. Federer won 6-3, 6-4.
In another tournament, Russian Nikolay Davydenko defeated defending champion, Tommy Robredo 6-3, 6-3 to win at the Orange Warsaw Open.

Hey HCFoo. Rafa's win this weekend was the most impressive by far. Looking back, I bet Roger wishes he would've faced tougher competition. I still think that he'll be OK for Wimbledon, though.

Djokovic must be thinking...how on earth am I going to beat Nadal? Clay court cannot...grass court also cannot. Hehe
I hope Nadal will be one of the Wimbledon finalist.
