OPINION - What Rafael Nadal meant to this Roger Federer obsessive
Few individuals have brought me greater misery than Rafael Nadal. Nadal may only have been five years Federer's junior, but he was a product of an entirely new generation. From 2004 to 2014, Nadal racked up a 23-10 head-to-head lead over Federer, dominating even during the Swiss' peak, when he was losing to virtually no one else.

Rafael Nadal’s tennis career will be remembered because of the numbers, yes — the 14 French Open trophies, the 22 Grand Slam titles overall, the nearly two decades in the top 10, and so on — and, without a doubt, because of his riveting rivalries with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. Also, indelibly, because of the all-out effort and energy Nadal brought to the court every time. Perhaps not surprisingly, it was his health that eventually forced Nadal to announce his retirement on Thursday after competing only sparingly the past two seasons.
