Well, not a bad long weekend. Extra day with the family, Carlton win, and Rafa wins his 10th French Open.
Onya Rafa.

Federer's greatest mistake was not swapping to a larger racquet much earlier in his career. He played with a 90 sqi bat up to 2014. Nadal's Babolat Pure Aero is 100 sqi. He's used it since forever. And why not. Gives a massive difference in power.... I'd suggest if Federer's reticence to change bats earlier cost him multiple slams....
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Actually the smaller head size gives more accuracy if you're good enough to play with it. As Federer's game slipped he had to play with a more forgiving raquet.

The sheer difference between a 90 and 100 sqi bat is staggering.... Slipped? Hah.

The waters are also muddied by the fact that the majority of tournaments are played on faster surfaces, which clearly favour Roger. That's not his fault of course, but worth bearing in mind.
