RAFA IS ONE STEP FROM MAKING HISTORY, AGAIN!
Top-ranked Rafa Nadal stretched his unbelievable winning streak at the Monte
Carlo Masters Series event to 26 matches by beating World No.4 Andy Murray
today, and moved one step closer to a fifth consecutive title.
豆豆打敗Murray之後，在蒙地卡羅的連勝來到26場，並離五連霸更進一步。
The World No.1 needed just over 2 hours of play to beat the 21-year-old
Scottish player (who had never been past the third round of a clay court
tournament before) in straight sets, 6-2 7-6 and is happy to know that he
continues to maintain an amazing 137-4 five-year clay-court record.
豆豆花了兩個小時，以6-2 7-6擊敗之前從未在此打到第三輪以後的Murray。過去
五年來的紅土戰績是137勝4敗。
In Sunday's final, the defending champion will face world number three Novak
Djokovic, who survived an intense three-set-battle (6-4, 6-1, 6-3.) against
Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka.
週日的決賽豆豆將會碰上No.3的Djokovic。
Rafa and Novak have played a total of 15 times before, with the 'Spanish
Bull' winning 11 of those matches. The last time they played each other was a
few weeks back at the Spain vs. Serbia Davis Cup tie played in Benidorn
(which Rafa won) and the last time Novak beat Rafa was at the Cincinnati
Masters Series in 2008.
Rafa與Nole過去曾交手過15次，Rafa以11勝領先。最近一次對戰是今年台維斯盃第一輪
(Rafa勝)。最近一次敗於Nole則是去年的辛辛那提大師賽。
If Rafa wins the final tomorrow, not only would he have managed an incredible
5-in-a-row, never-done-before kind of feat, but also, he would be one title
away from equalling Reggie Doherty’s 6 titles won from 1897-99 and 1902-04.
如果明天Rafa贏了，不只會達成前所未有的五連霸，並且只差一座就可以追平由
Reggie Doherty所保持的6座Monte Carlo冠軍紀錄(1897-99, 1902-04)。
