The streak continues

Rafael Nadal has now won 71 straight matches on clay. He's in the finals of the Barcelona event, a tournament he's won for the last two years. He will be facing Guillermo Canas in the finals. I checked the head-to-head stats on atptennis.com and Nadal leads 2-0. But those matches were played in 2005, so you can't really use that statistic as a predictor of the result of the match today.
