Rafa wins in Argentina

Congratulations to Rafa Nadal for winning the Argentina Open! This tournament was a minor one but it is an important win nonetheless. Not only is this Nadal's first title of the year but it is also his first in nearly nine months. His last win before this? The French Open in June last year.

This is Rafa's 65th title, allowing him to move past Pete Sampras and Bjorn Borg to take solo fifth spot in the all-time men's list of most Open Era titles won. Hopefully, this gives Nadal the confidence he needs to regain his top form and maybe even win another trophy at Roland Garros.
