Champion of the 1994 Australian Open and 1993 Roland Garros in mixed doubles Andrei Olkhovsky praised the Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal who quit after a Davis Cup match.
The 38-year-old tennis player lost his Davis Cup quarter-final singles match against Botik van de Zandschulp on Tuesday evening, as Spain ended their fight in the tournament by losing to the Netherlands. Down. After the defeat, Rafael admitted that he felt in advance that it was the last match of his career.
“Nadal is a unique person who has contributed a lot to the development of tennis. I think that thanks to Rafael, in Spain and all over the world, people fell in love with tennis. He’s a personality, a man with a capital P. Here again, his results are also crazy, 22 Grand Slam tournaments. Only Djokovic could do that. Nadal is a sporting genius. Sympathetic, friendly, sociable. An athlete with a capital A.
Who can repeat his success – Sinner, Alcaraz? It’s too early to talk about it. Understand that to win 22 Grand Slams, you have to spend more than one or two seasons. You have to maintain the level for many years, it’s not easy. Additionally, Nadal won his titles while Federer and others were still playing, so there was real competition. Now, in my opinion, the same Sinner has achieved a stable season for the first time,” Olkhovsky was quoted as saying by Soviet Sport.
