How must it feel to be Rafa Nadal today?
The epic warfware of tennis’ big three
Brian Phillips for Grantland:
The cruelest thing about this glutted golden age of men’s tennis is that it keeps producing astonishing matches, matches that actually expand your idea of what sport can be, and someone has to lose all of them.
This is a great story about the golden age that is currently unfolding in men’s tennis and why it is so epic. It’s hard to decide who to root for anymore, but its incredibly easy to be a fan. Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic will easily be in the top five of the all-time greats once their careers are over, if they aren’t already, and they’re battling each other in the same era of the sport.
