Years ago I remember watching TransWorld Sport early one Saturday morning on Channel 4. There was a feature on a young 16 year old Spanish tennis player, who apparently was going to take clay court tennis to a whole new level. His name was Rafa Nadal.
Yes as I said Greg Rusedski compared her to Nadal.

The other thing mentioned by many of the pundits is how strong her all round game is.

Last night she showed she has a good serve, exceptional return of serve, good forehand and backhand, good volleying and , particularly in one game near the end a good lob, She also won a point with a good sliced return at one stage and I think it was Martina who said she should use the slice more because she played it well.
