Rafael "El Toro" Nadal of Spain just added an Olympic Gold Medal in his recent achievements after defeating Fernando Gonzales of Chile in the Olympic Men's Singles Tennis Finals, 6-3, 7-6 (7-2), 6-3.
The 22-year old Spaniard was ruthless in all aspects as he capitalized on Gonzales' crumbling court performance. Fernando tried to cling on to a 2-5 slate during the 3rd set but Nadal's unbreakable execution converted his fourth match point into a Gold Medal.
Nadal will claim the top of the Tennis Rankings tomorrow, Monday, ending Roger Federer's 4 and a-half year supremacy. Additionally, this is the first ever Olympic gold medal in tennis for Spain.
Serbian Novak Djokovic claimed the Bronze Medal yesterday after conquering American James Blake, 6-3, 7-6(4) in the Bronze Medal Match.

Coffee, Rafa? :)
