Rafa Nadal and his greatness
Once again I find myself sitting at my computer, writing about Rafa. The thought that this is the last time I do it as a player saddens me deeply. Rafa has accompanied me these last 25 years in my post-player stage and I have been able to tell everything about him on television, in newspaper articles or in technical analysis. I think I have written so much about Rafa that I have analyzed him more than myself, I have compared him to the Little Prince, to the Greek gods, to extraterrestrials, I have explained his technique, his tactics, I have praised his physique and not to mention his head, trying to give a personal version to feel different. In studying his trajectory what I have tried to do is to talk about his legacy, and today I will try to explain what has led him to his GREATNESS.
Will Sinner and Alcaraz be able to compete with Djokovic in 2024?
We finished 2023 with a mentally plethoric Carlos, a promising Jannik but slowly Nole took the place away from them, starting for Australia, Paris, in London Carlos recovered but the match that changed everything was in Cincinnati, Carlos changed and let himself down, maybe the year was too long, but from there he was not the same, neither at US Open, nor in China, nor on the indoors he came back with the same strength and determination. Nole kept the competitiveness with his best season, and Jannik grew and grew to put himself on the agon of the favorites.
