This video gives a lot of insight into what facing Rafael Nadal is like and how Rafa developed his game over the years. The 3-minute point in the video begins a multiple-minute discussion of what trading groundstrokes with Rafa feels like if you wish to skip ahead.

I want to add that Novak Djokovic having as many Roland Garros titles as great champions such as Mats Wilander, Ivan Lendl, and Gustavo Kuerten during the era of Nadal’s dominance gives an idea of how great Djokovic is. Novak could pass Wilander, Lendl, and Guga before it is all over.
