With a rivalry that has been going on for 17 years, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are probably the two greatest tennis players of all time, but their popularity and influence far exceeds the fields of white sports, with the Spanish-Swiss rivalry undoubtedly becoming one of the most famous in world sports history.
Over the years, it seems that the friendship between the two is also growing, with quite a bit of paragon that sounds to each other, so, it was perhaps surprising to hear Rafa Nadal say over the weekend in an interview in Brazil: “We are very competitive. Over the years our relationship has improved, but no, we are not close friends. I will not tell Roger about an injury I had before a game against him, but we do talk about various issues. In fact, I talked to him today! ”
Regarding his health condition, the ‘Bull from Mallorca’ who canceled his participation in several tournaments due to back pain, said he plans to return to the clay tournament in Monte Carlo, a tournament he has won 11 times before, more than anyone else in history of course: “I want to be competitive and get ready. This is the most important time of the year for me and I work very hard for it. “
