What is more amazing: French Open win or Queen's win ?

What do you think ?

Rafa not losing a set en route to his fourth French Open win, bagelling Federer and losing 3 games against Almagro.

Rafa winning the Queen's defeating grass court specialists such as Karlovic and Roddick.

Tell me !

My choice too. Too bad isnt in the poll.

The way in which he won the FO, as well as the fact that it was his 4th in a row is much more 'amazing'.

The Queens win was certainly much more unexpected. And that makes it special in a totally different way.

These are different things in my opinion, winning the fourth straight French Open (a Grand Slam) in the way he did is amazing as well it is big winning a grass court tournament (second most prestious after Wimbledon) for the first time when he grew up on clay entirely. Indeed all Rafa is doing is amazing. But we can't compare a high class tourney like Queen's to a Grand Slam like Roland Garros. :)

i think they were both so important for rafa, just look at those eyes when he wins and that wide smile! he truly deserves every victory as he plays his hear out, leaves everything out there, battles till the last point and is such a gentlement afterwards! A TRUE ICON TO TENNIS AND TO THE SPORT IN GENERAL! VAMOSSSSSSSS RAFAAAAAA

Queens...winning FO's proven to be too easy for him

Depends on how you phrase the question.

Winning the French Open is obviously the bigger deal, but winning the fourth in a row against such a field who clearly can't leave with him on clay - it's damned impressive but to me, not amazing (in the true sense of the word, expressing stunned surprise).

Winning Queens on grass the week after winning Roland Garros on clay, and beating Roddick, Karlovic and Djokovic to do it - that, to me, actually is amazing.

I say Queen's because it's his first title on grass and I'm guessing for him (not that I know what's he's thinking!) it was somewhat of a big accomplishment. Plus, I don't know if it's just me, but he seemed to be in a super good mood all week and seemed to be enjoying himself more than usual.

French Open obviously, Queen's isn't even a Masters event, he didn't have to face Federer or other top seeds. Djokovic sure = but he choked, Karlovic was never going to win as his backhand is pathetic and Roddick has had recent injuries, he's hardly played at all in the last couple of months, think of it.

These TWO WINS are BOTH AMAZING in DIFFERENT WAYS:

RG - 4th Consecutive Title in a Slam, He's just the Second Player to do it After Borg
- this one for the History Books
- he Played Well for 2 weeks, Didn't Lose a Set
- handed Fedex a Bagel, a Breadstick and Half a Pretzel

QUEENS - his First Title on Grass, the First Spaniard to do it in 36 years, also for the
History Books
- most People Expected him to Lose to Ivo, BUT He Prevailed and NOT Only Beat Ivo, but
Also BEAT Roddick and The Djoker En Route to Winning this Title

..... so IMO, BOTH are Amazing and means a Great Deal to RAFA!!!
