winner Rafael Nadal
Tennis legend Andre Agassi believes Rafael Nadal is very close to surpass Roger Federer as the greatest player of all-time, adding the Spanish tennis sensation has now the accomplishment to prove he's the best to ever play the game.
Rafael Nadal enters the Asian circuit of the ATP Tour still trailing Novak Djokovic for the no. 1 spot in the world rankings. But for tennis writer Adam Gardner, Nadal did not only prove he's the best tennis player right now, but perhaps the greatest of all time.
Rafael Nadal said tennis will remain as it is even if Roger Federer and the other members of the fabled Big Four decided to retire. Yet, he believes his generation has produced one of the most dominant eras in the history of the sport.
U.S. Open champion Rafael Nadal will be taking his amazing hard court season to Asia, where he has a chance to take back the world's No.1 ranking from Novak Djokovic at the Beijing Open and Shanghai Masters.
Fresh from winning his second US Open title and 13th Grand Slam victory of still growing career, Rafael Nadal was quick to downplay the possibility of pulling off a rare calendar Grand Slam, saying the competitiveness of tennis in this era makes it impossible to rack up all major tournaments in the same calendar year.
