Daniil Medvedev, who spiritedly and spiritually confronted Nadal in last Sunday’s US Open final was almost going to create a maelstrom in the tennis world before Nadal through and through proved that he is the one and only Nadal of the sport. Nigeria
His exploits in the just-ended US Open at Flushing Meadows in New York City has just underlined and confirmed why he is what he is to me. His rivals in the persons and players respectively called Roger Federer and Nova Djokovic, as good and as great as they are, in my estimation, subjective or objective estimation, will always be beneath him.
True, Daniil Medvedev, the twenty-three-year-old Russian tennis upstart has had a wonderful tennis summer underlined with appearances in three straight ATP finals – in Washington DC, USA , Montreal, Canada and Cincinnati, Ohio, USA . His US Open final was his first Grand Slam final, and before the final he was seeded as the Number 5 professional tennis player in the world.
How did Nadal win his US Open title Number 4? The answer to this question reveals the ugly and beautiful things and qualities about our tennis supreme champion. And the ugly and beautiful things and qualities about our super-champion all culminate in what I have called here his Nadalistical characteristics and temper peculiar to him and him alone.
Another name for this weakness in his game is sloppiness that by now he ought to have overcome. But his amazing resilience, more-than-a-horse-strength-and-stamina, never-say-never spirit, peculiar calmness when adversity cruelly stares at him, and perplexing variety of court style and display always turn his opponents into his tennis insects whom he ends up swatting with his famous swatter of a racquet.
