World No.2 Rafael Nadal, who won the US
Open 2013, has said that his career-long rival Roger Federer no longer
wishes to compete for the World No.1 again TennisEarth.com reports.
Nadal, who on the other hand is in pole
position to become World No.1 after a scintillating season, has himself
comeback from a position of dire straits after missing seven months of
action.
Nevertheless, Nadal seems to think that
Federer no longer wants to become the No.1 player in the world. Having
turned 32, the Swiss has endured a troublesome year thus far and has
managed winning just the one title. At one point in the season, Roger
had slipped down to seventh place in the ATP rankings.
Nadal said, “With Federer, I have
shared and continue to share a rivalry since I started out. We have
lived very beautiful moments in our careers.
“I don’t think his main goal is to
return to the world number one spot. That is my feeling. His goal is to
stay competitive to win tournaments that he really wants to win, more
than being world number one.”
