The GOAT(Greatest of all time) has done it! At 35 years old, he won his 18th grand slam at the Australian Open and he did this after a 6 month hiatus to recuperate from injury. In addition to that, he was able to beat his rival, Rafael Nadal to win it. Although he and Nadal have high respect for each other, their rivalry is one of the best rivalries ever in Tennis. I'm such a fan of tennis, I truly love watching the sport.

I like Rafa as well but I was really rooting for Roger. His resolve and his determination to get that 18th slam cemented his greatness status. The 26 point rally is just priceless for me. All those who got to watch live are so lucky!

@lealuvy2j We were planning to watch it live. If only we did, we could have seen even the Williams sisters.
