He defeated Nadal. The Ukrainian named Raphael’s strongest quality

Famous Ukrainian tennis player Oleksandr Dolgopolov spoke about the legendary Rafael Nadalwho recently announced the end of his professional career.

– Which match against Nadal do you remember the most? Which of his playing qualities was the most difficult for you to deal with?

– Of course, I remember one of the matches that I won the most. It was in Indian Wells, I think, in 2014 (6:3, 3:6, 7:6). As for playing qualities, no one twisted the ball like he did. But overall, he had many strengths.

– Who will be the “King of the soil” now?

– I don’t know who will dominate the ground, there is no clear favorite yet. As for Nadal’s decision to end his career now, it did not surprise me, because he has had problems with injuries for several years, and he is not young for tennis.

– Is Nadal the best player in the history of world tennis?

– It’s hard to say, all three (Nadal, Federer and Djokovic) won a lot, it’s hard to single out the best.
