Tommy about Nadal: "Rafa always made you 'suffer' on the pitch more than others"

Tommy Robredo opened up and talked about his career.

The first question he received from journalists was “who was his toughest rival in his career”?

  • The most difficult was against Rafa because of the way he plays, the speed of the shot, the spin during the forehand, the fact that he is left-handed, he sprints for absolutely every ball… I’m not saying that it was easy against others, but Rafa always made you suffer ‘ on the field more than others. Everyone knew he was going to be a great player when they saw him during his first year on the ATP tour.
As he mentioned Nadal, he also commented on the battle for the best tennis player ever.
  • I would say that now the battle between Nadal and Novak is very uncertain. It depends on how much importance you give to other things, not just Grand Slam titles. There are also other factors, the Davis Cup, the number of weeks at the top of the ATP list… It’s hard to say now. – concluded Tommy.
