Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer will be in contention for the world no.1 once again. The Spaniard and the Swiss are leading the year to date rankings with a huge advantage from the rest of the field. This means that in the second half of the year they have a big opportunity to become a world no.1 once again.

Ready to fight with Roger

During a  recent participation to an Argentine talk show, Rafa commented

“The truth is, I always follow my own path. It’s true that we [Federer and I] are better prepared to compete for nice things at the end of the year, but it depends on what we’re able to do from now until the end of the year. We’ll have to wait and see.

The person who will be able to keep his high level for a longer period of time will have more options to fight for the world No 1 ranking.

But the same can be said of Murray and many others who are up there. Maybe they haven’t had the best six months this year, but they are also candidates.”
