Rafael Nadal Is Very Good At Tennis

I was just looking through some tournament brackets on the tennis page at ESPN.com and found something that seemed kind of impressive.

In three Grand Slams this year, Rafael Nadal has lost a total of four sets in seventeen matches - and that's including his straight sets loss to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the Australian Open semifinal. Since then, he has dropped one set, to 19-year-old Latvian Ernests Gulbis in the second round of Wimbledon.

For the sake of comparison, Roger Federer lost eleven sets (in eighteen matches) in the same three tournaments, all in the Australian and French Opens. He has yet to drop a set in five matches at Wimbledon.
