Federer's unique clay streak

Roger Federer has a special streak on clay courts that stretches back to 2002. He has reached the final of at least one major clay tournament every year since 2002 - That is 11 straight seasons.

2002 - Hamburg
2003 - Rome
2004 - Hamburg
2005 - Hamburg,
2006 - MC, Rome, RG
2007 - MC, Hamburg, RG
2008 - MC, Hamburg, RG
2009 - Madrid, RG
2010 - Madrid
2011 - RG
2012 - Madrid

Can Federer once again get to the final of at least one major clay event this year to make it 12?

Well, he keep the streak alive!

Yay!

The Tennis Channel should replay the epic 2006 match, so we might get the hope of rekindling a little of the old magic.

Federer is amazing. He reaches his third final in Rome at 31 years old.

12 consecutive years reaching at least one big clay final.

A tennis genius.
