At only 22 years of age, Rafa Nadal is already in the position of winning five consecutive times in some of the major European tournaments on clay: Monte Carlo last week and Barcelona this week. He doesn't have the same streak in Rome--the next stop on the tour--where he was upset a year ago, though he did win there in 2005, 2006, and 2007. And of course Nadal will be gunning for a fifth straight French Open title a month from now.
