Striking words of Mats Wilander before the Australian Open begins. The former tennis player has spoken on Eurosport about the importance that he has had Rafael Nadal in future generations. “It’s time we start celebrating Nadal, because he is the main reason why we have passion and players like Carlos Alcaraz or Stefanos Tsitsipas. “He is the one who has impacted the younger generation the most, more than Federer or even Djokovic, because of his behavior on the court over the years,” said the Swede.
“He has always behaved like that. He is an athlete who always tries very hard, maybe even too hard. But I think that is what we want to see in our young players and Rafa is the main reason for me. He is one of the best players of all the times and perhaps the most professional and most important tennis player of all time,” he concluded.
