Rafa Nadal (the King of Clay Court Tennis) beats Novak Djokovic(ATP Ranked #1 and First Seed in the tournament) on hard court!

Rafa beats Djokovic 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (7-2) in the semifinals of Rogers Cup (Canadian Open) in Montreal, Canada. He will meet local boy Milos Raonic in the finals on August 11, 2013. Andy Murray lost to Ernests Gulbis in the 3rd round; and Roger Federer did not participate in the tournament due to the "widely expected" and "well known" reason of "ailing back".

Here is an interesting "debate"! From: debate.org

"Roger Federer is not the best Tennis player ever." "Yes. He has been the most successful player in the history. But is he the best?"

The first reply in that debate topic ..

...

"although i agree that federer is not the best player, neither is Nadal. You could bring up stats from Nadals career, but djokovich is the best player and he has a better record than both."
