"I am very happy with my titles and whether or not I'm better than Roger Federer does not concern me."

By winning for the first After the U.S. Open against Novak Djokovic (6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2), Rafael Nadal
signed a new exploit. Back on this night New York at never returned to the History of tennis.
... And he got it! Rafael Nadal joined in history, its illustrious predecessors: Rod Laver, Andre Agassi and Roger Federer ....
Nine Grand Slam titles, four surfaces different four tournaments. All this for 24 years.
So goes the tennis, winks in paradoxes: Nicolas Mahut stretches the time instants eternity; Rafa him, condenses and accelerates at will. The Majorcan succeeds everything faster than the others at the same age, only Björn Borg is as good as him, but Roland and Wimbledon only and Sampras, with seven titles, and Federer, six, he relegates far its earliness. "I will, I do not know when, sewn
embroidered with gold and silver ... "Yes, Rafa returns States of blaze of glory. The Iberia
New England won in the manner Fathers of the Pilgrim's Mayflower some, hard and determination,
passion and a little madness. "Genius begins the fine works, but the work the only complete, "said a moralistic Eighteenth century. This work, for Rafa, he is technical and, almost philosophical change
gesture to the service, adapting his game quick to the surfaces, decreasing trade, up on the fly ... So he created "All the conditions of a performance Outstanding.

"America, America, if it's a dream I want to dream. His dream to him now, his New America is Roger Federer With 16 Grand Slam titles. An objective huge, a monumental goal. "What that genius? - Having a high goal and want how to get there. "Dixit Nietzsche. These means? The will, play and work. Rafa wants them, for sure. Better: he has already.

The past
Laver, Agassi, Federer ...Nadal goes into history
In his book Open, Andre Agassi spoke of redemption. The Kid from Las Vegas says, is when he decided his place in history by attempting to win on all surfaces that he realized his love of tennis. This decision taken, Andre struggled: he fell into the depths of the standings, before triumphing in 1999, faced with Medvedev. Rod Laver, himself, played tennis for another time and his legend needs no introduction. It is an irreplaceable icon and master of the house. Legendary Roger Federer when he was already slaying last year, Robin Soderling, on clay at Roland Garros, the hero of executioner
This September 2010: Rafael Nadal. If Switzerland has long awaited his hour, the child of Manacor decided to frighten the counters.
With nine Grand Slam titles at only 24, Nadal went on bases almost inhuman. It is worth asking the
question of motivation, even when he won all the titles of the circuit, except Masters. If Rafa denies wanting to become best player of all time, it is nevertheless trying to build a huge track record that could make him tickle the treetops. A Unless a wound does thwart his plans. Injury or increased competition and more vivid: it is clear that the absence of the title for this U.S. Open 2010 has been beneficial. Roger Federer enjoyed recalled, "[he] ha [has] never met a player who  hard on both sides "that Juan Martin Del Potro.
This Rafael Nadal in the text "I am very happy with my titles and whether or not I'm better than Roger Federer does not concern me.
Besides, if we compare our titles, there is no comparison. Today is truth and what is the truth all my life. It has always been an example for me. My goal is always the same: moving, again and again. Now that I played very well at the U.S. Open, I want to achieve a good end of season. It was not often the case, so I'll focus on this period and try to win the Masters that is not yet in my charts. "
The future En route to the Australian Open?
Rafael Nadal ad'ores-and-already made the Little Slam, with his victories this year at Roland Wimbly and Flushing. It is the first since Rod Laver's Grand Slam and 69, to win over a season, three Grand Slam titles in a row - Roger, Sampras and have done over two seasons. In Melbourne, next January, he could get, almost, in the legend Rod Laver in making the Grand Slam two years, 2010-2011. Outstanding performance as hard on his progress - but can we still speak of progress in its level? - Allow legitimate hope. What are those who can stop him? Roger is now a fickle? A Novak under? A complexed Murray? Or any other outsider? Let's see. But first, its objective: Masters. To join Andre Agassi, the only player to have won all major titles, Davis Cup, Olympics, through the Masters and the four Grand Slam titles. Or better and win the last missing Masters 1000 to his list ...

Tribute to the vanquished!Novak Djokovic, the third man Andy Murray failed is Novak Djokovic who takes over and plays spoilsport at the top of the world rankings. Serbian reached for the third time in his career, the final of a Grand Slam. It met for the fifth time, Rafael Nadal in a tournament final. Result: his counter, in major tournaments, is still stuck in a unit, and he leaves empty-handed, a fifth defeat in the key against the Mallorcan. Still, the disappointment overcome, Nole will find many reasons for satisfaction his adventure in New York. "It's a great experience and I will never forget what I experienced today," he explained at the awards ceremony. Formidable is the word: as his victory in a half against Roger Federer, after exertion, after of himself; as its ability to adapt to any surface, finalist and winner at the U.S. Open and Australian Open semifinalist Wimbledon and Roland as his ability to doubt the greatest - the second set against Rafa and his 11 points in a row demonstrated. "My goal in life is to become world number one. "Number 2, today, that he misses he still to achieve this goal? Better physical - against Nadal, it was felt from the outset in overspeed? Tactical progress - it seems enough for improvement in this area? Or ... Nothing, perhaps. Rafa too strong for the moment.
