Rocky relationship between the great rivals?
Rafael Nadal won Roland Garros last weekend and reached his 22nd Grand Slam title.
Many noticed that the Spaniard's fiercest rivals, Novak Djoković and Roger Federer, did not congratulate him on his accomplishment via social media.
Yet Nadal has now revealed the real truth. The Swiss did this via a private message, unlike Novak Djoković.
- With Roger we have a good relationship and a special feeling. After the victory he wrote me a message to congratulate me - Nadal told Sky Sports in Italy.
Rafa managed to surpass Nole and Roger in Paris, so now he holds a two-victory advantage in the Grand Slam race over them.
- Anything can happen. Clearly Novak is in the best position to be able to beat that because he has no physical problems, and he’s playing at a spectacular level. Federer has been out for a long time and you can always expect something special from him, but we all know how difficult it is to come back, even more so at 40. We’ll see what happens - Nadal said and then concluded:
- As I’ve always said, it didn’t bother me when we were level, and it doesn’t bother me now that I’m two ahead. I just want to keep competing.
