Toni Nadal discusses greatest players in tennis history: 'Federer is number one'

Uncle Toni was very happy with the US Open final win "I have not cried but I got really emotional. He seemed to have won the match after the first two sets but Medvedev improved his game and when the Russian started playing great, I told my daughter, Let's hope a miracle happens".

He said that it's difficult for Spain to ever have a player like Nadal ever again and as well that Federer is very much the number one player in his eyes of all time.

He doesn't see his nephew in that bracket and sees him more with Novak Djokovic and Rod Laver just behind.

"It's not good to tell it because it's my nephew but it will be difficult for Spain to have a player like this again. In 2005 they told us that his career was finished because of a foot injury, but playing less matches than others and always dealing with injuries, Rafa came back."

"It's difficult to say because many things need to be considered now. Roger Federer is the number one. Nadal is among the best guys in history like Novak Djokovic and Rod Laver.
