Saturday, 16 November 2019 at 16:41

Rafael Nadal achieved year end No.1 status earlier this week after victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas and Australian legend Rod Laver has offered his congratulations to the Spaniard.

Laver said said that he's had an incredible year and that in his opinion there is still a lot more to come from him.

"Heartfelt congratulations @RafaelNadal on attaining the year-end No.1 ranking.

You’ve had an incredible year and still more to come young fella! Rocket."

With Nadal out of contention at the ATP Finals, his next move will be to go to the Davis Cup in Madrid when they will take on Russia on Tuesday. Roberto Bautista Agut was first alternate at the event so they could get some early practice in London.
