Number 2 with a bullet...

Rafael Nadal put an explanation point on the fact that he is indeed the best tennis player in the world right now by winning his fifth strraight tournament and 29th consecutive match on Siunday at the Rogers Cup in Toronto.

Rafael is still ranked number 2 behind Roger Federer but after winning two straight tournaments on clay then two on grass and now one of hard court - and winning seven titles overall in 2008, he is no doubt the best.

It's thrilling to watch a player reach their full potential right before our eyes and even more thrilling when he does it by knocking out the champ. Federer will have to improve from what had seemed to be an unreachable level if he is to catch Rafa again.
