Rafael Nadal keeps on chasing Roger Federer. in 2017 the Swiss Maestro has surprised everyone after he won 2 slams (the Australian Open and Wimbledon), and his nemesis, Rafael Nadal, didn’t want to leave Roger “alone” to conquer also 2 majors (the Roland Garros and the US Open). After this season, Roger is still 3 slams ahead of Rafa (19-16), but the Spanish camp is becoming more and more bullish about Nadal’s chances to catch Federer after the recent success in New York.

The Roland Garros will be the key to catch Roger’s 19 slams. TONI NADAL

Uncle Toni didn’t think that this US Open was special after his nephew won the title without playing any top player, but Rafa’s performance was still so convincing that he thinks that the King of Clay can catch Roger in terms of slam titles. Uncle Toni commented

“We will get to Federer’s 19, yes. I think it will happen. It’s difficult, but there is some more Roland Garros, and I am confident other titles will come.

When he was 12, 13 or 14, you never think he will get to this level. I am very happy to see my nephew lift so many trophies, knowing that he has achieved another piece of history.

He has won a hard-court tournament for the first time since 2014. We are very happy that he has won another Grand Slam, his 16th, and is in a position to fight for No. 1.

It was unimaginable that would happen, of course. But I had faith that Rafael would win one more Grand Slam, I tell you truthfully.”
