Rafael Nadal is the second man after Novak Djokovic to qualify for the World Tour Finals. Rafa has qualified to the tournament for the 10th consecutive year, but he was never able to win the trophy to reach the final in 2010 (d.by Federer) and in 2013 (d. by Djokovic).
The ATP Executive Chairman and President Chris Kermode commented “Rafa’s qualification for this year’s Barclays ATP World Tour Finals is terrific news for tennis fans in the UK. They now have another chance to see a true sporting icon battle it out for the last title of the season. Rafa has previously come close to winning the title in London a number of times. This year, once again, many will consider him to be a leading contender as he looks to add this prestigious title to his long list of career achievements.”
Nadal is currently ranked no.2 after Djokovic overtook him soon after winning the Wimbledon title.
