Ocho


Eight straight years hold a lot of great moments but as I searched through youtube these were my favorites. I ranked them in the order of my favorites. How do you rank them?

1. 2010: This was about as dominating a title run as there is and to think that it was just the begining. Also the reaction to winning gets me every time. 




2. 2012: The ace on match point was a great exclamation to one of Rafa's more impressive single match serving performances.





3. This is the semi finals between Rafa and Richie Gasquet both still teenagers in 2005. Rafa came from a set down to move on to the final but check out some of these rallies.



4- 2003: A 16 year old Rafa and his short shorts upsets fellow Spaniard reigning Roland Garros Champion and his future Davis Cup Captain in his first trip to Monte Carlo.



5- 2005: Trophy Ceremony  The first one. 


6- 2008 final: The third final between Rafa and Roger in as many years.





7- 2006: Rafa's first Monte Carlo title defense and the first clay court final between Rafa and Roger.


8- 2007: The three-peat
