Once
Once there was a tennis player*
From a town in Spain.
Ever since he started winning,
Clay was his domain.
As he rose up through the ranks
(He's number 1 today),
Fans would clamor for a glimpse
Of glory on display.
Though injuries and circumstance
Have sometimes kept him down,
He always seems to reemerge
To claim an Open crown.
Today he did exactly that
By managing to banish
His opponents at the French,
Numero once,** in the Spanish.
* Rafael Nadal, who just won his 11th French Open
