But the most awaited Rolland Garros as his country will be starting in a month which will be the most crucial title for
Nadal as he has a record of winning this title consecutively.
However, Nadal was not playing well if we look at his previous records, Rafa has not able to win a title since last 11 months
but this win at Monte Carlo must have boosted his winning confident and will help him to win further tournaments.

Del Potro, Soderling, Berdych and Nalbandian.
So lets see what the powerful, never say die attitude Rafa do to win further title as the journey is still hard and many
obstacles will be there for him. Lets hope Nadal performs to his potential in the coming tournaments and win many titles.
