The world number one believes that the Swiss still have much to say in tennis: "He'll be ready to win big tournaments
The world number one, Rafa Nadal, he is convinced that his great rival, Roger Federer still has a lot to say despite having dropped to number three in the ATP ranking.
"He won the Australia Open and the Masters of Cincinnati (Masters title 17 for Federer), so it's been a good year for him. It is difficult to always one hundred percent and what Federer has done the last seven or eight years is almost impossible to repeat. It's amazing, "he said in Tokyo.
Although Nadal matched Federer Grand Slam with victory in September at the U.S. Open, is convinced that the Swiss have their choices in the big races. "It will be ready to win big tournaments. His game is still at a high level," he said.
He also stressed the prolific career of tennis in Basel, which has 63 titles under his belt. "It's very difficult to be always on top. What he has achieved is very, very complicated," concluded the Spaniard.
