Nadal makes a bold choice

There is no doubt that the big three were one of the best rivalries in the World of tennis we have seen and we have also heard from the players on who their biggest rivals were.

Nadal was asked the same question about who his bigger rival is and while everyone was expecting to hear Novak  Djokovic, Nadal surprised us all by saying, "Djokovic is the player I have faced the most, but for me, my biggest rival has been Federer. Because, when I arrived on the circuit, it was Federer who was there and he was the first."

There is no doubt that Federer was the first rival of Rafael Nadal, but in the end, it was Djokovic who challenged him the most and also ended up ahead of him in the rivalry, while Nadal did have some great matches with Federer, but had dominated Roger Federer in the rivalry winning 24 out of the 40 games he played against him. In the end, we still have to respect this decision since Federer was his first rival who started his career with some great matches even in his prime.
