2018 has been an exciting tennis season with an strong return of the some top players including Roger Federer, Juan Martin del Porto and potentially Serena Williams.

Rafael Nadal has earned his reputation as the champion of clay. The Mallorcan left-hander has won a record breaking 10 French Open title on Paris clay. He will be an unforgettable player to watch.
