Another test for Rafal Nadal at Wimbledon

Rafael Nadal finally regained the Number 1 ranking from Roger Federer with a solid performance throughout the year. The whole season was full of tension, mental turmoil as well as stress. However, the Spaniard with his seventh Grand Slam crown and fifth French Open title is back on top of the sport and his game once again. Nadal is definitely moving towards becoming the best player on the clay court with his stunning performance over the last two months. He is still one title short of equalling the record of Bjorn Borg. One Roland Garros title will reach that mark. However he is even getting closer to that bench mark at a rather quicker speed as compared to the clay court specialist, Roger Federer.  

Nadal's aim is definitely to become the greatest Tennis player of all times. The big man is just nine majors short of the clay court king’s record of 16. However, Nadal’s health and physical fitness are the matters of utmost concern for the upcoming five years at least if he wants to get even close to Federer’s record. That would indeed be a great attainment for a player who has had serious knee injuries in the past. Yet at the moment, it can be rightly said without any measure of speculation that Nadal is the man who can beat anyone on any surface.

According to Robin Soderling, there are absolute chances of Nadal’s becoming the Number 1 Tennis player in the world in near future if he continues to play well. He is surely a tough opponent to defeat more particularly on clay, he added. The man just makes it happen according to the situation of the game either with his defensive or offensive play at times as and when required. His conversion from offensive to defensive game or vice versa is strangely swift. And probably this is the reason why he is just too good to handle.

The French Open trophy is the most essential thing for Nadal at the moment. He has worked extremely hard to achieve his goal. Rafal Nadal took off the Roland Garros-Wimbledon double for the first time in 2008 by defeating Federer in the finals of both the Tournaments. After a month, Nadal also grabbed a gold medal in Olympics. He outlasted the clay court king in the Australian Open in 2009 as well.

Nadal will really have to push himself hard if he wants to continue with his winning momentum at Wimbledon. His form and shape cannot be compromised at any cost.

According to Nadal, his injuries at some points of his career were really difficult to accept. Off course, every single Tournament is important for a player but Roland Garros for sure has its own significance. Hence to be on the top and eventually a win here satisfies a player more than anything else.  

There is no doubt about the fact that Federer on his part will try his level best to defend his crown at Wimbledon. The Spaniard on the other hand has shown his strong will power and dedication to triumph on grass.

During the last season, Andy Roddick, as well as Marin Cilic was among those players who had bright chances of reaching into the finals but it was Federer who did the trick for himself. Roddick who is a Three-time finalist at Wimbledon has the tendency to beat Nadal with the help of his smart serves. Murray, the cagey on the other hand also goes quite well on turf while Cilic’s all round game at his best can pull off any one beyond a doubt.

There are a few other names that can prove really destructive on the net including John Isner from America, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France, Ivan Ljubicic from veteran as well as Czech Tomas Berdych.

Undoubtedly most of the eyes from all around the world will be on Rafal Nadal’s display of tennis at Wimbledon. Just after a period of two weeks, Nadal can once again show his dominance and mastery over his game of tennis.
