rafael nadal nobody better? Who is the best tennis player on this planet? Australia’s Lleyton Hewitt is going with Rafael Nadal.
“In terms of he and Roger Federer competing against each other, there’s no doubt, Raf has taken the mantle. What he did to Roger in the French Open, I don’t think there’s too many players on Earth who could do that. He destroyed him. And to be the first out of the two of them to win the other person’s crown, on his least-favorite surface (Wimbledon), is just amazing. He truly deserves to be the world’s No. 1.”
OK, but guess who Hewitt, a two-time Grand Slam winner, plays today in singles competition? Yup, he and Nadal will battle in the second round of Olympic play. It should be a match worthy of the medal round in the early stages.
