Speaking to Tennis Channel in a recent interview, Rusedski lauded the Spaniard’s incredible effort in coming back from a foot injury to lift just his second Australian Open crown.
Highlighting Nadal’s fighting spirit, Rusedski said he’s the one player that one would want to bet their life on to win a tennis match.
Going back to his pre-tournament picks to win the 2022 Australian Open, Rusedski admitted to not having the Spaniard in the running for the trophy.
The Brit was quick to point out that the World No. 5 has managed to prove all the naysayers wrong with his latest triumph.
“For me, the 21st Slam is probably Rafael Nadal’s greatest accomplishment in his career” - Greg Rusedski
Rusedski opined that Nadal’s 21st Grand Slam was his most towering achievement—even more so than the 13 Roland Garros titles.
The Brit went on to compare the Spaniard’s intensity to that of fellow former World No. 1 Jimmy Connors.
