Rafael Nadal - Australian Open Tennis

Spaniard Rafael Nadal finally became the number one ranked player in the world after winning the 2008 Wimbledon final against arch rival, Roger Federer. The victory at Wimbledon was said by many to be the greatest match ever seen. Since then it has not all been plain sailing for the Spaniard as he had an injury hit 2009 which saw him slip down to No.2 in the rankings. However, he is the defending Australian Open Champion having defeated Federer in a five set classic in 2009.

When winning his first French Open, Nadal defeated Federer in the Semi-final, thus preventing Federer from potentially achieving a career Grand Slam at the time. He was also only the 7th player to win a Grand Slam at his first attempt and he was the 2nd player to do this at Roland Gaross.

Nadal is clearly a phenomenon, he is still only 23 years old. He is the only teenager, other than Boris Becker and Bjorn Borg, to have been ranked number two player in the world.
