Remember:
— Matt Zemek (@mzemek) May 20, 2018
Luck is not some foreign object which occasionally enters into sports; it is a common and continuous thing.
Great players make use of it; mediocre players don't.
Lucky or unlucky is rarely the right question.
Resourceful or not is usually the much better one. #Nadal
In a battle of top two seeds for @rolandgarros , Nadal d. Zverev to win Rome for VIII time....rematch in three Sundays?

Rafa Nadal still amazes me after all these years. ๐ Just sayin...

Rafael Nadal now has as many clay Masters (4) since turning 30 as all other men combined, if my math is correct.
— Trenton Jocz (@TrentonJocz) May 20, 2018
Also, Nadal has now won every big clay event since turning 30, the French Open, Monte Carlo (x2), Madrid and Rome (and Barcelona x2).
The GOATOC finds a way, with rain delays providing time to change the tone. Nadal comes back in the 3d set to win 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 over Sascha Zverev and take his 8th Italian Open and his 1st since 2013

Rafael Nadal back to number one tomorrow for at least three more weeks.
— Josรฉ Morgado (@josemorgado) May 20, 2018
Needs to win Roland Garros to stay on top after Paris.
If he does, Federer can still get back to number one with a final (3 wins) in Stuttgart (ATP 250) the following week.
Masters 1000, active players (top5)
