Rafael Nadal is into a hard-court grand slam semi-final for the first time, and has gotten there without dropping a set through the first five rounds of the Australian Open. Heavy favorite to win the next grand slam, the French Open, of which he is a three-time defending champion, and a good bet to reach the final for a third consecutive year at Wimbledon, this result in Australia represents a defining move forward for the dynamic Spaniard. While Federer is the undisputed king of tennis, Nadal's improvement on all surfaces can only be good for the sport, and great for the next few years of what is already tennis' best rivalry. Here's hoping for one more win for Rafa, so that a Federer-Nadal final can again be presented to the eager public.
