Rafael Nadal says things that happened in 2013 were more than he dreamt of Tennis: World no.1 Rafael Nadal has said that this year has been better than he dreamt of eight months ago and this would go down as one of his best years even if he is not able to finish well. Rafael Nadal spent 7 months away from court due to an injury, after the Wimbledon Championship 2012. He came back in February 2013 and made a comeback, which was one of the greatest comebacks of the game. “What makes me happy is going on court ever day with a feeling that I am healthy, with the feeling that I am playing well, and the feeling that I can lose and I can win against everybody,” said Nadal. The 27-year-old player equalled Novak Djokovics record of winning 5 ATP Masters 1000 tournaments in a season and has a chance to break that record by winning Paris Masters. He would also be looking to win his first World Tour Finals title in London. “That happened for most of the tournaments this year. I did much more than what I thought. I am going to try to finish well here and in London. If I am able to play well and I finish No. 1, great. If not, it doesnt change the season as being one of the best of my career without any doubt. The Spaniard won 10 ATP titles this year, including 2 Grand Slams, French Open and US Open, plus Masters 1000 titles in Indian Wells, Madrid, Rome, Montreal and Cincinnati. “I enjoyed probably more than ever [being able to] play tennis the whole year. [They have been] very emotional matches this year [because of] the situation that I had last year. All the things that happened to me are more than what I ever dreamed eight months ago, so that makes me play very relaxed with less pressure.”
