Spain and Chile Triumph in Men’s Tennis
18 Aug 2008Spanish Rafa Nadal is officially the number one tennis player in the world, having swiped away the title from Swiss Roger Federer at Wimbledon a few weeks back. And he further proved his dominance this weekend as he picked up the gold at the Olympics for men’s tennis. Here he is yuckin’ up with the press with the Queen of Spain looking sporty at his side:
Rafa beat Chile’s Fernando Gonzalez, but the defeat left Chile in not such a bad spot: taking home the silver medal for men’s singles. Watching Gonzalez get his medal – the first one for Chile in these Olympics — is quite moving.
Congrats to Rafa and Fernando!

I was up yesterday at an ungodly hour to watch this match and it was pretty good, and I don’t even like tennis.
That said, Chile still would have liked gold. Overall South America hasn’t fared too well in these games.
