Actually, that is a very left-handed compliment from Nirmal Shekar. What's Rafa's humility got to do with his greatness? He is great because of his game, and his humility has got nothing to do with his game.

I think humility is a virtue which Nadal possess and it adds value to him, as a person and as gracious champion.

There’s more to Rafael Nadal than just his muscular brand of tennis. The world No.1 Spaniard once again showed the softer side of his personality on a visit to the tennis academy for underprivileged children, set up by the Rafael Nadal Foundation, at Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh.

Rafa, who lost in the Shanghai Masters pre-quarterfinals last week, arrived at the Bangalore airport on Sunday morning and drove to Anantapur. The quick stopover was a hush-hush affair and the champion didn’t even seek security cover from the local police.

“Nadal visited the tennis academy at the Rural Development Trust’s (RDT) sports stadium. He and his family were involved in setting up that academy and I think he came to have a look,” Anantapur district collector Dr B Janardhan Reddy said.

Last month, Rafa’s mother Anna Maria Nadal Parera and his sister Maria Isabel had also made a visit here. The academy has three courts and Anna Maria plans to call it the Nadal Tennis School.

This is the first final result of Nadal in ATP WTF. He has won all round robin matches and the semi-final and almost came to beat roger in the final. This is a great result. Next year we can certainly see more achievements from him. Certainly he is improving a lot in hard courts at the right time. For any peak player the ages 23-27 are the best years to be at the peak of his body and tennis expertise. It is difficult (actually impossible)for other players to match that tenacity and sporting brilliance for years to come .
