Rafael Nadal stormed into the record books when he completed his Grand Slam collection at the 2010 US Open and accelerated his quest to wrest the “Greatest of All Time” accolade from archrival Roger Federer. “We’re playing not only for ourselves but for history,” says Federer. The rivalry of the century resumes at the Australian Open when No. 1 Nadal and the king he dethroned vie for more records with their almost superhuman shotmaking. By Paul Fein “Every great and commanding moment in the annals of the world is a triumph of some enthusiasm.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“N

adal plays like he’s broke,” Jimmy Connors, an ultimate warrior himself, once said admiringly. Indeed, Rafael Nadal exudes a competitive ferocity that belies his comfortable upper-middle class upbringing on Mallorca, a tranquil island off the coast of Spain.

Nadal’s primal intensity starts even before the first point with his trademark zig-zag wind sprint from the net to the baseline after the coin toss. Fist-pumps and cries of “Vamos!” punctuate his play after he smacks winners, especially on big points. It ends only when he pummels his opponent into submission on match point.

“I expect to play my best in every point and try to fight every point like the last,” said Nadal, after he knocked off Tomas Berdych to capture his second Wimbledon title in July, just four weeks after he predictably seized his fifth French Open.

injections in both knees to help rebuild his tendons and kill the pain – that had forced him to retire against Andy Murray at the Australian Open in January – Nadal was ready to inflict pain on opponents at the US Open. And it wouldn’t come just from relentlessly pounding vicious lefty forehands to foes’ righty backhands, which Andy Roddick likened to “Chinese water torture.” His backhand, especially crosscourt, had become a weapon, and his steadily improving volley ranked among the best in the game. By positioning himself close to the baseline, he dictated rallies more than ever to complement his incomparable defense. And he now has another ace up his sleeve: his new booming serve.

The 185cm, 85 kg warrior was finally flexing his massive muscles, and in his first six US Open matches, he unleashed first serves of more than 210 kilometres per hour and averaged 191 kph, compared to 172 kph at the 2009 Open. Most important, he lost his serve only twice while not surrendering a set.

Like a rampaging bull offensively and a quicksilver matador defensively, Nadal often verged on tennis perfection in his virtuoso 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 final triumph over Novak Djokovic – who’d escaped two match points to upset five-time champion Roger Federer in the semi-final.

The scintillating shot-making and extreme physicality displayed in the enthralling semi-final and final captivated even longtime critics of tennis. Bill Gallo, the hard-nosed veteran sports columnist for the New York Daily News, wrote: “I was now a tennis fan” who “has changed his tune, seeing tennis as one of the most grueling, hard-fought games in sports. Yes, indeed, it belongs in the ‘big boys’ sports club. At the recent US Open, I found that Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer can give sports fans as many thrills [well almost] as Ali-Frazier. You see Federer as the clever, innovative artist, one who can adapt to match his opponent’s will. Nadal is the big puncher, the guy always looking to knock you out. He’s as strong as the bulls in Spain, and carries with him an indomitable spirit, plus a very

powerful left hand. That is the makings of the champion he is today.”

The Greatest Ever?

If Nadal, now ranked No. 1 by a whopping 3,305 points ahead of No. 2 Federer, has attained the summit of a tennis evolutionary chain, where does he stand in the pantheon of all-time greats? With a career Grand Slam at the tennis middle-age of 24, he joined an elite club whose other members are Fred Perry, Don Budge, Roy Emerson, Rod Laver, Andre Agassi and Federer.

But only Nadal and Agassi have won the four majors plus the Davis Cup and the Olympics.

Judged by the overall record however, Nadal doesn’t hold a candle to Federer – yet. The Mighty Fed enjoys a commanding

was hampered by bad knees in Paris and sidelined during Wimbledon.

Federer failed badly though, at the Olympics, which many experts and players equate in importance with a major championship. He suffered upset losses to No. 79 Berdych at the Athens Games in the second round and to James Blake in the quarters at the Beijing Games, which Nadal won. Nadal has also surpassed Federer in Davis Cup competition. He helped powerhouse Spain win the prestigious Cup in 2004, 2008 and 2009 and boasts a nearperfect 14-1 Cup singles record, compared to 29-year-old Federer’s longer 27-6 record with no Cup titles.

However, Nadal also has some catching up to do in another key GOAT (Greatest of All Time) category, total years ranked No. 1,

“Nadal is just an incredible athlete. Mentally and physically, he’s as strong as anyone I’ve ever seen.

Heís just 24. … if he stays strong, he’ll win as many majors as anyone.” – Pete Sampras 16-9 advantage in Grand Slam titles, by far the most important criterion. He leads 6-2 in Wimbledon titles, 5-1 in US titles, and 4-1 in Australian titles. Only at Roland Garros does Nadal hold the edge, 5-1.

On a more subjective level, while the men’s game today clearly boasts more depth from No. 20 to No. 100 than ever before, during 2003-2007 when Federer cleaned up with 12 major titles, his competition among elite players was weak and shallow. The best he faced were an aging Agassi with a chronic and painful back injury, mentally fragile underachiever Marat Safin, huge-serving but otherwise flawed Roddick, a middleweight counterpuncher in Lleyton Hewitt, and highly talented but still-developing Djokovic and Murray. Clay superstar Nadal had never even reached a Grand Slam semi final on hard courts and emerged as a major threat on grass only in 2007. When Federer took his 14th and 15th majors in 2009, he was also quite fortunate that Nadal

which Federer leads 5-2. Now in his late prime, Federer focuses chiefly on winning majors. He may never garner the seasonending top spot again because he may lack the week-in and week-out motivation to gain enough ranking points at other tournaments. He still owns a substantial 66-43 advantage over Nadal in career titles, including a 5-0 lead in Barclays ATP World Tour Finals titles. Nadal, however, smashed Agassi’s Masters Series record with 18 career titles, passing Federer’s 17.

Both champions have established records that may never be broken and further ensure their immortality. Nadal, who this year became the first man to complete the “clay slam” – winning Monte Carlo, Rome, Madrid and Paris in one season – amassed an extraordinary 81-match winning streak on clay (2005-’07). With several more chances and no outstanding young clay courters on the horizon, he also seems destined to overtake the legendary Bjorn Borg’s 29-yearold record of six French titles.
