Your Call, 2.3

Hi everyone. Here's today's post for general tennis talk, or calling of ongoing matches. You can go off-topic here as well.

In response to comments from quite a few readers of yesterday's "Deal With the Devil" post from Pete (apparently the world drastically lacks adequate media coverage of Rafael Nadal's victory at the Australian Open), some of you may not have seen that he responded in the comments with the following : *

"Guess I'll have to write a Nadal post tomorrow. Fair enough. Then we'll have a Q and A type thing, maybe live, later this week, so I can handle some of these questions I can't take on now."*

Meanwhile Russ provided the following interim attempt at comfort to deprived Nadal fans everywhere:

Finally, just in case any of you missed it in the comments section, I also noted that Rafael Nadal is the first man in tennis history to simultaneously hold Grand Slam titles on three different surfaces. This appeared to cause a degree of confusion. Others also managed to win Slams on three surfaces (Andre Agassi, Mats Wilander and Jimmy Connors), but not as simultaneous holders.******
