Rafael Nadal cannot hide how glad he is that Novak Djokovic is losing a first place on the ATP list.
Novak lost the match in Dubai to Jiri Vesely and thus handed over the number one place to the Russian Daniil Medvedev.
Although Novak is still the best tennis player in the world, although he loses first place in only seven days, Nadal has already replaced him.
At the tournament in Acapulco, Rafa defeated Daniil Medvedev, and then said:
- “I played against the rival who is world number 1. And on the surface that he loves the most.” Rafael was clear.
This is a pure provocation because the Russian has not yet officially taken the throne.
